I know of a Muslim women who is in a group of women that feel they can no longer attend a women only swimming session as a (clearly intact) white transwoman insists on swimming in those sessions.
Black women in the USA are seriously disadvantaged through the application of gender ideology especially as sports scholarships are are one of the few ways working class black woman can attend higher education. These female scholarships are now being taken up by men identifying as women.

You are not quite as progressive as you think you are. You say you support minorities but not if they are Muslim women or black women. There is a word for that…

Oh the irony, coming from you!
JKR's support of Morrissey pre dates her current position on the trans debate by many many years - she's in Introducing Morrissey (2002), so it's possible that whatever friendship/loyalty they have was formed before all this all blew up and he's not about to throw her under the bus due to her current position. It's also quite possible that his primary concern is people being cancelled, rather than aligning himself with their views. It's quite possible that he doesn't agree with her stance and yet is prepared to cut her some slack and oppose her cancellation - as many do with him - and to recognise that this is one aspect of a person, not her whole being. Not saying any of this is the case, just that I don't think we can't rule it out.
Sorry, I'm not sure I know enough about his encounters with Greer, but my understanding is he was a great admirer of feminist writers of the 70s/80s, so isn't it possible that his admiration of Greer stems from that time and refers to her influential feminist writings then, rather than comments she's made lately? I suppose what I mean is that we can't assume that M's defence of these people relates to relatively recent pronouncements on one particular issue and that he agrees with them on that. These are people - like him - with a lifetimes's body of work behind them. It's possible that he disagrees with them on this issue, but finds other aspects he strongly agrees with and also fiercely opposes their cancellation and the erasure of their work. So, in a sense, the same issue.
On reflection I am not sure I am entirely convinced by this or what you said about JK Rowling.
Everybody says they support freedom of speech but 99% of times are only concerned about it if the person they agree with are being silenced. That applies I think to the left, the right and anyone that has strong views on anything!
JK Rowling’s views on women and gender identity are what anyone thinks about her politically (outside of Scotland that is). Hard to provide support if you disagree with her on this, even if you hate any kind of cancel culture.
Just my view - neither of us know for certain of course
