To be fair, I wouldn't say that calling someone racist or transphobic falls within the same purview as, say, calling them an idiot. It's an insult, but it's one which clearly implies a sufficiently specific factual assertion as to have a meaningful truth value.

That said, that vagueness ought to mean it's only actionable if the claim being made is clearly incorrect, which is not the case here. No reasonable person would say "JKR is so obviously not a transphobe that no good faith interpretation of her actions would suggest she is one".
