J.K. Rowling's book wasn't cancelled as you yourself acknowledge.
Regarding your statement "As opposed to the current system of "I don't like it, so you're not allowed to say it, no matter how true it is" you've not proved this point either.

That's what would happen.
It's only now that she has her fame is she above this, but an author starting out wouldn't be touched.

No one would know an author's views on transgender issues unless that author was extremely well-known and spoke about them. And people protesting against an unknown author's views would get little media coverage so serve little purpose.
Publishers are pretty keen on the freedom of publication. Mein Kampf is still published in English, for example.
