She's not doing her cause any favours is she

No she's not. I hope she ends up packing boxes somewhere, anywhere where she's not given a platform to say...well, anything.

What I don't understand is she wasn't charged with racism, nor were the charges gender specific... so how did the fact she is BME or a woman have any baring? And twitter is a public communication network, so was this just a technicality?
It sends a message that BME and especially women can instigate violence without recourse, by citing the same reasons she has....

'sending a communication conveying a threatening message and with sending a grossly offensive message via a public communication network.'

God knows what the logic or reasoning is but the law needs to reflect a modern multicultural society without police and courts being fearful of being accused of some kind of discrimination.Womens rights and minority peoples rights are just as important as white males rights.Just as important not more important.
