Did they even read the book? Or did some genderhair crawl into their DMs crying about how it's problematic and now they're frantically virtue-signaling so as not to be caught caring too much about women?

I asked one of TiM's I know, he said that author was doing transphobic tweets in Twitter for years. And by transphobic he showcased some tweets like "transwomen still have male socialization and in most cases acting like men, so none of my works about women stereotypes is affecting them in any way". And I can assure you she is right, as I know transsexuals who are 25+ years after transitioning, and still acting like gay men. But it is "transphobic" nowadays to think like that, because now "being woman" is what men say.

So most likely they never read the book, and just went "she is TERF, so book must be TERF too".

They don’t have to read the book. If you asked them to, they’d respond that they’re under no obligation to do emotional labor for you.

It takes a real man's man to opt out of emotional labor yet still identify as a woman.
