I don't know anything about her personal politics. But I will say she narrated Terry Pratchett's Monstrous Regiment in 2023, which is (at the very least) sympathetic to gender fluidity, and features at least one major character who is a trans man (rather than simply "dressing up").
Cover art for 2023 audio edition of Monstrous Regiment, a Discworld novel, by Terry Pratchett. The book is narrated by Katherine Parkinson (with cameos by Bill Nighy and Peter Serafinowicz).

Finished my English Paper Piecing ball a few days ago and I'm so proud of how it turned out! And it's the perfect size to roll around with baby. ✨️🧶💪🏻

Making a fabric ball for my baby using English Paper Piecing! I've never tried it before, and it's the first major multistep craft project I've attempted since giving birth. So I'm pretty proud! 😊🧶✨️
Two halves of a fabric ball, not yet sewn together and filled. Each half is made of six pentagons of colorful cloth basted around paper templates and then whipstitched together in a flower shape. One half is turned upside down so the paper templates are visible.

Without downloading new pics, describe your gender in one image.
A figure dressed in a derpy shark mascot costume stands in a gallery of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, gesturing to John Singleton Copley's colonial-era painting Watson and the Shark. In the painting, a crew of men in a rowboat reach for a naked youth floating in the water, while another man attempts to harpoon a shark whose open jaws are aimed at the youth's head. The open mouth of the derpy mascot costume echoes the open jaw of the painted shark.

Important addition: Andrea del Verrocchio's equestrian sculpture of Colleoni (in Venice) stands on high plinth that allows visitors to easily see deez nuts, fact I learned in an art history class and subsequently abused for comedic purposes when showing relatives around the city.
Statue of 15th century mercenary (condottiere) Bartolomeo Colleoni on horseback, by Andrea del Verrochio. The bronze sculpture stands on a giant plinth in the Venice, allowing viewers to see the horse's absolutely massive balls (coglioni). Part of the Basilica di Santi Giovanni e Paolo is visible in the background.
