A soldier from Kinross has become the first person in Scotland to be convicted of transgender prejudice.
...
The 19-year-old will be disciplined by chiefs in the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
Sheriff Michael Fletcher described the incident as "a nasty offence" and fined Porter £350.
This was £150 more than a breach of the peace fine, to mark the transgender prejudice.
Stonewall Scotland director Carl Watt said: "Too many people in Scotland experience hate crimes, and many don't report it because they think it won't make a difference or because it happens on such a regular basis."
So the authorities are showing citizens they intend to act when complaints are filed. How refreshing!
Keep on it Scotland. :police:
