The judge in that case called Linehan's social media posts directed at her "deeply unpleasant, insulting and even unnecessary" but said they weren't "oppressive or unacceptable".

Perhaps the judge would find it more oppressive if she were the one being misgendered on a regular basis.

"deeply unpleasant, insulting, and even unnecessary" but somehow acceptable?

A wide gulf between acceptability and criminality.
