Didn’t Margaret Atwood sign a pro free speech petition in favor of jk Rowling?

She signed a free speech petition, but not one specifically related to JK Rowling, right after tweeting about sex not being a binary and implying that the female sex cannot be defined. https://twitter.com/MargaretAtwood/status/1280262917506641922

Margaret is constantly tweeting about authoritarianism, but specifically focused on Trump, so I'm not exactly sure what she had in mind in signing the petition but it likely wasn't JK Rowling. JK Rowling just happened to sign the same petition.
