"A mother-of-two has been ordered to pay £300 compensation and not to contact a transgender woman after a row about whether she should be allowed to use female toilets.
Chinzia Ogilvie was involved in a social media spat with Ivy Burrows, in which she was accused of sending 'transphobic' messages that 'invited hate' against her.
The 43-year-old, who turned up to court in Portsmouth wearing a badge saying 'transwomen are men', argued fiercely that Ms Burrows should not be allowed to use women-only facilities, such as shared changing rooms.
The seven-hour exchange was said to have left Ms Burrows feeling 'scared' and 'distressed', while it was suggested during the discussion that she might be a paedophile, Portsmouth Magistrates' Court
The row erupted after trans woman Ms Burrows made a comment on Twitter about the suffragette movement and tagged Ogilvie on October 2, last year.
The court heard the pair had previously shared 'diametrically opposed views' on the platform.
Prosecutor Graham Heath told the hearing that as the debate degenerated, Ogilvie made offensive comments about the victim's genitalia which 'made her feel disgusted, violated and degraded'.
However, Tim Sparkes, defending, insisted Ms Burrows was not 'a vulnerable victim' but a 'political activist' who had started the conversation and also been the first to use a derogatory comment."
