What I remember is an interview where she said "I should have been born a boy" or something to that extent.
It is all too easy to see how you can fall into the TERF mindset as a transmasc in denial because it probably makes about as little sense to her why anyone would want to be a woman as it makes to me why anyone would want to be a man, therefore anyone who wants to transition to a woman must have ulterior motives. But it really shouldn't be a high ask to have a modicum of empathy to realize other people just feel different lol
Okay so I've read a LOT of analysis of that line, and done a fair amount Myself. There are two camps on it: One group says Robert is a repressed trans guy. The other group says Joanne is pretending to lean trans, in order to present herself as an insider and speak from a position of both authority and sympathy, so she can lie to people better.
Personally, I only found out about that interview during the research phase of a blog article I had already decided to write, about how Robert really hates women and views womanhood negatively, so maybe he's trans. https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/does-jk-rowling-want-to-be-a-man-568cb1aa4ca5
