Yes, it's pretty loathsome stuff. I think the reason it has to be part of the conversation around Rowling and others labelled 'TERFs', is that it's necessary to understand exactly what they are responding to in a hostile way.
I didn't really understand it initially - I was puzzled by why Rowling, of all people, would suddenly reveal she had a bee in her bonnet about trans people, as was being widely claimed. It seemed rather odd. But then you get an understanding of what she's actually upset about, and retaliating with harsh comments. It's a particular, extreme, political faction, and not, as she tries to make clear, about ordinary trans people trying to live their lives. I'm sure there are a great many of those folks who are speechless with horror at this demented movement that's essentially hijacked them and dragged them along for the insane ride.
