What you very conveniently left out of that story was that the original tweet King shared wasn’t about trans people at all, it was a quote by another feminist author about how men treat women’s opinions as acts of violence. When pressed if he supported Rowling’s views towards trans women he responded with that tweet.
Yeah, Rowling gushed over King’s retweet profusely and said her love of him had reached new heights, but what you also didn’t mention is that SHE deleted her own tweet praising him and also unfollowed him on Twitter when he stated his support for trans people. Almost like SHE can’t handle the opposing opinion, and only loved King when she thought his support of a feminist quote meant he was a fellow transphobe.
One final thing you forgot to mention is how King maintains his support, even going as far as joining Neil Gaiman and Margaret Atwood among other writers as signatories in an open letter of support to the trans community.
So, the full story is a bit different to your edited version. King isn’t a coward because he never attacked trans women in the first place. He supported feminism. Which you may or may not be all about yourself 🤔
