Even in the UK, I doubt it was the SOLE reason. My money's on that he was a nuisance in an affluent leftist area by preaching virtues and morality as they were trying to be good virtue signallers so used the police to lock him up a bit on some nonsense laws on the books to hopefully scare him away from their area.
Of course it was the "SOLE" reason he went to court. It was the only way they could get him convicted on a 'public order' offence. If he hadn't said his blasphemy, they would have to come up with something far more creative, completely beyond their capabilities. He's an experienced public preacher so he knows how to handle himself while dealing with aggression. But with 'misgendering' being added to the ridiculous list of things now qualifying as "threatening, abusive or insulting speech" he is going find it near impossible to talk back to the demons.
When you're an unwelcome right winger in a leftist sub that actually pretends to follow rules and not just ban outright for bias, what they will do is have some activist shithead come at you and pick a fight with you like the tranny did here. No matter how you respond (I know because I've tried every manner of response possible, including ignoring the person) you always get banned while the attackers does not.
One thing I haven't tried which I think would work better on reddit now, is to immediately block the attacker. That wouldn't stop their initial reports, but it would stop the attack in its tracks.
It's a common technique when like minded people want to purge "undesirables" from a community. Happens all the time.
The tranny came at this dude and started baiting him. He took the bait. He got arrested. The fact that he later won on appeal doesn't erase all the bullshit he was put through. Not only that, but he can't go out now and be like "GOD HATES TRANNIES" because the wording of the appeal decision prevents that.

Happens on reddit, too.
