Yep! I retweeted a few pro-JKR things back in June and changed my name to #IStandWithJKRowling, immediately lost a bunch of followers. Yesterday I re-tweeted JK's tweet about misrepresenting the views of a trans woman whom she admired and respected and lost even more. lmao it's like, fucking... it's right there that she supports trans people. What else do you want.

I was disappointed about it before (I don't have many followers to begin with so the loss of 1 or 2 is always immediately noticeable) but I've consoled myself with the fact that the people unfollowing me over something like that are the same ones who'll call me a transphobic TERF without hesitation, so no big loss. The few people I actually do respect are still following me, too, so there's that... although I'd likely be upset if they dropped me.
