This is giving JK way too much credit. She's always be a shit person, she just has the money and power to let it show. She literally wrote a book about people who are persecuted for things they cannot change about themselves, and then she turns around in the real world to be Voldemort! There's something very personal deep down in JK she hates about herself and is projecting it.

She unquestionably has some unaddressed, deep seated sexual or gender identity issues. She has said too many times she thinks she’d be trans if she were growing up today, uses a male pen name to write a book about a trans serial killer, can’t stop won’t stop TERFing even now that her lawyers are finally telling her she needs to shut up

Could be either

She got her bag and now she can let her freak flag fly.
Rich people boredom turning her weird. She wasn't an outspoken transphobe when she was on welfare writing the rough draft of HP1 after all. Kinda ties to one but also notably different.
