  4.  @bradspitt3896  Simply disagreeing with notions of gender identity isn't what happened. If that were all, that would violate no law anywhere. In the US, the leaflet would not be the subject of any criminal law, but the target of the smear, in which it was asserted that she likely carries and spreads diseases because she is a trans woman, could bring a defamation per se lawsuit, where damages are presumed.

  5.  @kevinsky86  This is nonsense. Why won't anyone link to the actual law, or the case where it was applied? The harrassment was severe, and in the US it would have given rise to a civil suit, but not criminal charges. I don't agree that hate speak that is only tortious (defamatory or intentionally inflicting emotional distress), but not a true threat, should be considered a crime. However, the target of the hate speech in this case could have brought a civil suit instead, and gotten a much better recovery than the size of the fine. Title VII harrassment at work is also a civil matter, not a crime. France has a criminal law against severe and persistent harrassment on any basis, no special protected categories, in the workplace. There was a case of systematic abuse over a period of years, leading to several suicides, and the principals of the employer got jail time. Good.
