No drama…post was with good intentions just had a crappy picture from many years ago. A set of pictures I regret being allowed to be taken but it is what it is. We all live and learn and make mistakes….its life. Keep spreading love and joy x
Another day of hate fuelled transphobia against me… but hey guess what I am living my best life. Wake up everyday with my beautiful family around me. Everyday I laugh and have things to look forward too. Who’s winning at life…the one who’s happy and smiling or those hating? 1/2
So JK, Posie, Glinner and the rest of you out there hating on my community and myself guess what IDGAF…you keep hating and I will keep on smiling and living my best life. Maybe you should all give it a try eh
@BBCNews
I refereed them in a match...Lovely people all happy, and enjoying the beautiful game and guess what they were safe and that is what matters! What a rubbish article!
So tonight 18 Trans women took the field representing
@trukunitedfc
playing
@DHFC_W
in a football match. Nobody got injured in fact the physio was redundant all night. The Transgender team lost despite trying their very best. Football was the winner and football is for everyone
FYI yes there are some tweets where I have called out hate previously....and yes I am sure there will be more to come as I do not like any form of discrimination and I am not afraid to call it out. If you don't want me to call hate out then don't be hateful quite simple really!
Bottoms up… love Costa and even more so now. Fab support for our community… don’t like it feck off to a starbucks who btw support their trans staff so maybe I guess you should all give up coffee 😂🏳️⚧️❤️🏳️⚧️😂
OK this could get Interesting...entered a ladies open competition at a golf club (no chance of winning just want to play the course) rang them to pay and thought out of courtesy I would tell them I am Transgender so there were no surprises on the day. 1/2
@jk_rowling
I’m pleased to say Lucy is a great ambassador, well respected within refereeing and most importantly a good, kind person.

Ironic…
Latest article has brought about 5k hate messages not including the messages on the retweets. Most attacking my appearance and trying to fat shame me. It’s tiresome but I have to read them to see the nice messages as I want the people to see I’ve seen them and thank them.
51 years old.....after ACL injury didn't play for 24 years. Loving playing again and rolling back the years :) 27 games 33 goals and 56 assists. pic

Lovely morning at the iconic
@FootballMuseum
where I have the honour of being included in the new exhibition (alongside some real legends) and had the privilege to be involved in its official opening.
Posie Parker and her cronies trying to bully me again...what a sad pathetic life they all lead!
Guess what I am happy and enjoying life and trying to make a positive difference...keep being Transphobic and fat/ugly shaming me...cos guess what I don't give a f***
A day of getting hate due to comments from Joey Barton and GB News but guess what let them all craic on. What a great year 2023 has been for myself personally. Got awarded a Guinness World Record, a spot in the National Football Museum, named Trans Community Champion and to 1/2
Oh wow.... So honoured to be nominated thank you so much. Awful pic tho haha however this was 5 yrs ago! :) The comments show how far football and the world still has to come but hey ho it is what it is.

@ChtyCommission
Shame on you...how a hate group can be a charity is beyond a joke. You have let down all Transgender and Gender non conforming people massively. Once and hate group always a hate group.
@Glinner
You see the thing is you live a sad lonely life and I am living my best life. I wake up every day with my beautiful family around me and have lots of fun and laughter. Life is great. You may think mocking me and bullying me hurts… you know what all it does it make me laugh
If you play with,against, are watching or even refereeing people from the Transgender Community then please show them respect and respect their pro nouns. It really is not that hard. If in doubt neutral pro nouns are fine that is so much better than misgendering them.
Let’s kick Transphobia out of football. Football is for everyone including Transgender, non binary and gender non conforming people. Over 95% of our squad fall under this banner.

I’ve had worse days. Great day at Brentford with two teams intent on playing football. Over 5k in attendance showing just how great the womens game is!
@Joey7Barton
All Goalkeepers make mistakes Joey and I've seen a lot worse than that in the Premier League....Even professionals in the English game smash penalties over the bar as well. You're just a misogynist with a massive chip on your shoulder...
Oh wow so this is amazing and has certainly put a smile on my face this morning. Thank you to all who voted but also to the judges who went through thousands of nominations and have shortlisted me. Stunned with this and really humbled.!
#wow
I had my best telephone voice on and she hadn't twigged! Was told she would speak to her general manager and they would get back to me if there was an issue....my ears are burning right now! Was surprised at her reaction tho....let's see eh
15 years ago when i decided to give up managing and concentrate on refereeing I was appointed to Racing Epsom v Cheam Village Warriors in the Redhill league division 4.
My fixtures this week are a tad different.
#beenajourney
Honoured to be featured in the National Football Museum in Manchester. Some more bits will be going in later on in the year but for now they wanted to get some bits up before Sparkle Weekend. Go check it out as well as seeing lots of other amazing football stuff!
@FootballMuseum
Was a pleasure to referee this game today with some great football from both teams. Have to say well done to Wimbledon on their fantastic new ground it certainly is impressive.
#doingwhatilove
Ok part 1 of my good news I am delighted to announce that I have been selected as 4th official for the Womens National League res cup between Charlton Athletic and Blackburn Rovers. Considering this is my first season on this league this appointment came as a bit of a surprise.
@lucyclarkref
is a gorgeous, funny and utterly wonderful human who I was privileged to sit next to in 2023. I’m disgusted at the hate being thrown at her. Honestly, have a good long look at yourselves. Kicking down at trans women does nothing for the rights of women.
Wow....just wow! Amazing to win this award and congratulations to all other award winners and shortlisted finalists. Tha ks to
@TransITCUK
for a great night and the honour of winning this great award.
Huge congratulations to our Trans Community Champion 2023, Lucy Clark! Lucy is the founder of Trans Radio and TRUK United FC. Well done Lucy! 🏳️⚧️✨

We are incredibly proud to announce that Lucy Clark is now a Her Game Too Manager Advocate 😍

Delighted to have been informed that I have been selected to referee the Capital Women’s Cup final in a couple of weeks time. Nice to end the season on a high 👍❤️⚽️
As a rule people are quick to moan but praise is rare and unexpected. Love this and really appreciate it. Was a really good game with 2 excellent teams who both gave 110% throughout and was a pleasure to officiate.
#thankyou
Huge shoutout to our referee yesterday at our
@OfficialOUWFC
and
@afcw_ladies
game. What a legend. Engaging, a great communicator, clear, and good fun! Officials certainly don’t get the credit they deserve, so a very worthy shout out!
Locked down my account for a short while to stop the numerous notifications. This platform is a spiteful place at times but I would like to thank everyone who has shown support. There is no place for discrimination in this world of any sort and I will continue to live my life.
Been an amazing season in which I have had the privilege of refereeing some fantastic games and have been given some fab appointments. To top it off I have been selected as one of the officials for the FA WNL plate final this Sunday. Honoured to receive such a great appointment.
Having watched the GB News section where they wanted me i
on...... May I retract my tweet from Tuesday. GB News, it's presenters and guests are all clearly still very much Transphobic and any further requests will be met with a big fuck off.....
The FA Leadership Academy had their graduation today and named all the tables....stunned to find one of the tables was named after me alongside some truly inspirational people...madness
@caroldecker
Dear Carol...this is Balham House. As a teen I used to stand on the 15th floor wanting to jump because I hated what was happening to my body and to myself. Thankfully I didn't jump. Had I had Puberty Blockers then I would never have had those feelings. Now kindly be quiet...

@gabbylogan
shows her true colours and the fact that she is a Transphobe who supports the biggest Transphobe of them all. Shame on you Gabby!
Such an amazing honour that the amazing Mister Samo chose me as the inspiration behind this amazing piece of art which is now on show at the National Football Museum. Head over to Markers exhibition at the NFM to see this and the other 8 artworks from various artists.
Excited that I have been given an FA Cup 2nd round middle this weekend....don't know what game I have yet as waiting on confirmation but great knowing that one is on the way!
Really do think the FA need to look at the promotion and relegation in womens football. Just one team promoted from the WNL to rhe championship is unacceptable. Only winning your division gets ypu promoted from the feeder leagues is wrong...let's relegate more teams and promote
@VictoriaLIVE
For those that want to try and twist my words the point I was making is that they need to be careful when they retweet Transphobic tweets as this could deem to make them being classed as Transphobic...pretty simple really. Just a friendly bit of advice
@Glinner
Oh Hi Graham me again long time no speak! See you are still a sad lonely hateful bigot. Come on I have told you many times to get a new hobby and this hatred is beating you up and not good for your health. Anyway here is the team I set up :) Look at the joy in these guys faces
Not being able to say goodnight to my beautiful boy was one of the hardest things ever tonight. Today has been one of the hardest days ever 🌈🌈🌈 hope you’re flying high Zeusy 💔💔💔
Loved every second of talking to Guinness World Records and am honoured to receive my certificate.

I was going to give up but a series of heart attacks in what was going to be my last season and spending Christmas 2017 in hospital made me say feck it why should I give up something I love. Not looked back since and yhe last 4 years have been amazing 🥰👍

A terrific reception for the role-model, inspiration and trailblazer…
Funny how all the GC’s have been crying about me entering a golf competition…Especially when a) my entry has not stopped anyone else from entering b) I have zero chance of winning because I am not that good and there are some amazing players that have entered. Bless ‘em..
Massive congratulations to all

on their promotion. Great club run by great people with a great manager in

@FAWNL
with immediate effect. This is a decision that I have not made lightly and have been considering for some time. I had many great seasons on the league and have met some amazing people and was honoured to 1/5
So I am curious...How many people that are "Insert banned word here" are happy being referred to as "insert banned word here" I am guessing that it is only Transphobic people that have an issue being called "insert banned word here" Can all my "insert banned word here" like this?

Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions.
The words “cis” or “cisgender” are considered slurs on this platform.
@prideukorg
Would have been nice if you used a recent picture! This pic is 6 years old....this is also old news as I was appointed in January. Wouldn't mind but you follow me as well!
top it off TRUK United won 5 awards off the football pitch and a few trophies on it. So if the Keyboard warriors want to call me names then so be it. I am winning in life

I have been nominated for a National Diversity award and it would be amazing if you could give me a vote. I have been asked to do a bio so have a read of what I have been up to and if you could give me a vote that would be amazing.

has blocked me for calling out her Transphobic views, she actively hates our community yet still holds a position that she uses to cause harm and distress to LGBTQ people from Surrey and the UK. Why is she still in her role?

I have definitely received more Transphobia this year than in previous years that is for sure. Have also witnessed a lot more Transphobic content from other people...

Proud Player/manager of TRUK's back to back Champions. 12 games played 12 games won! Personally bagged 17 goals with 30 assists to lead the way with goal contributions! Who said referees cannot play :)
Aww thanks. Was amazing to get shortlisted last year from 90k nominations! With a week left to vote I won’t get near the shortlist this year but thanks to whoever nominated me.

@ChtyCommission
Is this a late April fools joke? You’ve actually given Charity status to a hate group? A group that attacks Transgender people effecting their mental health? A group that makes people feel suicidal? And you’ve made them a charity? Blood is on your hands....
