Premier League referee Bobby Madley has hit out at J.K. Rowling after the writer misgendered trans football manager Lucy Clark.
The next day, she shared a Daily Mail article – which said Rowling had compared Clark to a man – with the caption wrote: “I didn’t compare him to one. He IS one.”He described her as a “good, kind person” and then used Rowling’s own words against her when he quoted a line from Harry Potter. I’m pleased to say Lucy is a great ambassador, well respected within refereeing and most importantly a good, kind person.The initial post from Pride has since been deleted and the organisation issued a statement calling out Rowling, and apologising to Clark for the hate she received as a result of the post.
