It's a valid comparison in the terms of defaming her character, or rather, questioning her awareness of LGBT issues. Everything mentioned about Hermione being a different race to what everyone expected, or Dumbledore's homosexuality being referenced to in the loosest of terms and the faintest of whispers, did stink a little of tokenism and point-scoring on her part. When you throw in the criticisms she's received for the depiction of goblins in Gringotts as having strong antisemitic vibes, and the whole 'Cho Chang' mess, it does paint a broader picture of her as a clumsy, awkward writer and someone who isn't great at presenting various cultures accurately or in a good light.

I just don't really think she'd be as foolish or as callous as to deliberately set out and steal the name of some obscure conversion therapist as a little "bigotry easter egg" for us to work out, lol
