TERFs seem to really, really like traditional gender roles. Which is... weird for feminists. A lot of their views have seemingly become more and more tied to rightwing views and gender norms. Joanne has a host of issues to work out when it comes to gender, including her own I think. Between one very masculine (Robert) and one leaning masculine (J.K.) pen names and having stated in the past that she would have transitioned to a man if she thought she could have decades ago it makes one wonder. Also, if you consider the massive number of Graham Lineham style TERFs, the misogyny angle is more obvious and apparent.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

You obviously have way more knowledge of the TERF movement and how it both views and effects the trans community, but I don't think you can really use pen names as a deep dive into the psyche of the author. Male authors outsell female authors and thus pen names have a vaunted tradition amongst female authors.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.
