He used Rowling's own words against her

Premier League referee Bobby Madley has hit out at J.K. Rowling after the writer misgendered trans football manager Lucy Clark.

Rowling wrote: "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."

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."

But former Premier League referee Bobby Madley leapt to Clark's defence, describing her as a "good, kind person." He then used Rowling's own words against her when he quoted a line from Harry Potter.

"'It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.' — Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Ironic..."
