'Harry Potter' author J.K. Rowling led the criticism over the weekend against an English soccer club naming a transgender woman the manager of a women's team.

Sutton United, a women’s football club in England that plays in the London and South East Women's Regional Football League, made history earlier this year when it named Lucy Clark as their manager. Clark is the first transgender manager in women’s soccer history. Clark was initially the first transgender women to be a referee. Clark was a referee in the third tier of women’s soccer in England.

On Saturday, Pride UK – an LGBTQIA+ advocacy group – expressed support for Clark as the manager of Sutton United, touting Clark’s rise from being a referee to now leading a soccer club. The post garnered a ton of reaction. '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,' 'Harry Potter' author J.K. Rowling wrote on X.
