So what came out of the charge? The article is a year old.

Idk about the charge, but here's a mumsnet discussion with more details. https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3538483-Edinburgh-leaflets-are-a-possible-hate-crime?pg=4

Here's the statement that Peyton's group put out. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=570921380088052&id=100339780479550

We believe that Peyton has been unfairly represented by her detractors and the press, especially those who have a history of transphobic activity. While her tweet was certainly inflammatory and may have caused concern for many people, we stand by her response that is was a "tongue in cheek" comment, made in a state of vulnerability and stress and in self defence.

The world is not kind to trans people, especially trans women. Groups like For Women Scotland and A Women's Place and activists who share their values consider themselves allies to the trans community, but nothing could be further from the truth. These groups continue to spread the rhetoric that we are nothing more than dangerous men, that trans kids don't exist, and that our rights to legal recognition should be undone.
