Author J.K. Rowling fired back after she was accused of “cruelty” for referring to a trans-identifying male soccer manager as a “straight, white bloke.”
Rowling was responding to a since-deleted post on X cheering the promotion of a trans-identifying referred — who goes by the name Lucy Clark — to manager at Sutton United. According to The Daily Mail, that post read, “Lucy Clark, the world’s first openly transgender referee, has made history by becoming the first trans manager in the top five divisions of English women’s football.”
“When I was young all the football managers were straight, white, middle-aged blokes, so it’s fantastic to see how much things have changed,” Rowling commented.
