England’s first transgender referee Lucy Clark says she has felt the full backing of the football community since transitioning in 2018.
Clark, who officiates in the Women’s National League as well as at men’s grassroots level, had privately decided to turn her back on the game before making her transition public five years ago.
After being hospitalised with a heart attack, she U-turned on the decision to step away and instead became a flag bearer for the trans community in football.
