UK Preacher Who Was Reported as a Terrorist after a 'Misgendering' Arrest Wins BIG Following Legal NightmareAndrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, lamented the case earlier this month and the punishment, noting the preacher was "assaulted, abused, and has his belongings stolen simply for stating biological reality."
