It was "trans women are going to rape children _or something like that_".
Most reactions that I saw about J.K. Rowling's 3600-word essay point out that she equates transness with intent to rape, so I think that the original sentence with the "or something like that" is ok.

- iamdamian 5y agoI don't see that in the articles you linked. Can you quote the evidence that she equates trans-ness with rape? I _do_ see something about her questioning whether gender self-identification should affect whether someone is allowed to be tried for rape (since, if I understand correctly from the article you linked, the UK seems to not allow women to be tried for rape). It's difficult to follow to the original quote because some of the linked articles and original sources are paywalled.
