Whatever it is, it's certainly not anti-transgender people.
Didn't the killer from Silence of the Lambs cross dress? Oh no! He didn't just kill people he legit wore their skin I think. Noooo, why god why?

In my opinion, political correctness is a form of fascism. Any sort of action or censorship which inhibits the expression of ideas is fascism.
In the spirit of your OP, I'd say when political correctness bears adverse consequences for a person's opinion which goes against the MSM narrative or the government's stance on an issue.
JK Rowling doesn't give a flying fu¢k about people trying to 'cancel' her. She's practically a billionaire. She can say whatever she wants about trans people while writing books under a man's name and there's fu¢k all they can do about it. Even if she never sells another book in her life.

Eh, I think she does care though in a way. She used to be a billionaire but isn't anymore because of her generosity. To be fair, given how much money she had that could have just been virtue signaling because it didn't impact her life at all. In fact I can't think of any charity giving celeb who has ever said "you know, I'm gonna have to hold off for a couple years on this new house cuz I'm giving a lot to charity right now".
Anyways, so keeping her generosity in mind if she is doing it to virtue signal it mean she is desperate for attention and thus would indeed mind if she was cancelled. And if she wasn't doing it to virtue signal and actually cares about the causes she gives to then she is just a nice lady who yeah probably doesn't wanna be made persona non grata.

If she cared about the attempts to cancel her she'd be prostrating herself apologising and changing her views to placate them. She doesn't because they can't do anything to her. Granted she doesn't do it in the manner that Ricky Gervais does, but she still doesn't pander to the baying mob because she knows her beliefs aren't bigoted like they claim hers to be.
As for virtue signalling. Giving tons of money is actually doing something. Not just signalling that you're angry about something but want others to deal with it.

Okay let me rephrase: it's possible she cares and also has dignity.
Thus showing why she hasn't bowed to the idiots.
