This is good news - conviction quashed on appeal.
Speaking from the witness box, Mr McConnell said: "In my view, I wasn't misgendering and I was gendering correctly."
He told the court: "I think people could have been offended but that's not the intention.
"My intention was to simply stay faithful to my beliefs, stay faithful to God and to stay faithful to my conscience."
He said: "I wasn't being transphobic; I was expressing what I believe."
After watching the clip again in court, Mr McConnell said: "I knew the person in front of me was a biological male and, therefore, I stayed true to God and true to my beliefs."
Mr Hawks (the judge) said although they accepted McConnell's words had been insulting and that Ms Munir had suffered "harassment, alarm and distress", there was no evidence the appellant had intended to harass her.
