The Harry Potter author has responded to claims of “bullying” and “punching down”
JK Rowling has spoken out after coming under fire for criticising a trans female football manager.
Lucy Clark, who used to work as a referee in the game, has swapped the whistle for the dugout and was recently appointed the manager of Sutton United’s women’s football team in south London.
LGBTQ+ charity Pride UK took to X, formerly Twitter, over the weekend to celebrate Clark’s achievement.
The Pride account penned: “Lucy Clark, the world’s first openly transgender referee, has made history by becoming the first trans manager in the top 5 divisions of English women’s football.
“The former referee has taken over at Sutton United. FABULOUS,” it signed off and quickly caught the attention of Harry Potter author Rowling.
