Harry Potter creator JK Rowling is causing the left some heartburn by doubling down on her criticism of the U.K.’s Sutton United soccer team’s “first openly transgender” coach.
Lucy Clark was hailed as the league’s first transgender referee. Clark was later promoted to manager of Sutton United.
When a gay X account touted Clark’s elevation to SU’s head coach, Rowling got leftists hot under the collar with a reply reading, “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 took some criticism for seeming to compare Clark to a straight white man. But she then doubled down and insisted she wasn’t making comparisons. She was making a direct assertion.
In response to the criticism, Rowlings wrote, “I didn’t compare him to one,. He IS one.”
Rowling also followed up by pointing out that Lucy Clark is a married man and had three children with his wife — a wife to whom he is still married.
Rowling found a lot of support for her position:
