Tsiartas [...] was prosecuted under a supposed anti-racism law which, somewhat perversely, includes provisions against public incitement to violence or hatred on the basis of gender identity.
In Tsiartas’s case, brought to the courts by the Transgender Support Association (SYD), the supposed incitement took the form of a Facebook post from 2017, in which the athlete remarked that he “hope[d] the first sex changes are carried out on the children of those who ratified this abomination” in reference to new legislation on gender identity, Greek media reports.
“Legitimise paedophiles too, to complete the crimes,” he added.
For this, Tsiartas was fined 5,000 euros (~£4,380/$4,980) and handed a 10-month suspended prison sentence. The Transgender Support Association hailed the ruling against the footballer, calling it “particularly important for the transgender community.”

You would think wishing for such 'necessary' treatments for others would cancel out the supposed meanness of calling a law an abomination.
