His attacker, a woman named Tymesha Wearing, was convicted in February of aggravated assault as well as hate crimes.

Wearing was eventually sentenced to 11.5 to 23 months of house arrest with electronic monitoring, 120 hours of community service, and ordered to write a letter of apology to Stephens.
She was also ordered to attend a court-monitored anger management program, while she will not be eligible for parole until she has completed 18 months of confinement.
In March this year, Stephens publicly advocated for additional laws in favor of transgenders in the wake of the assault.
“I went to class the next day I was beaten because let me tell you something no one is going to steal my pride, no one is going to steal my power,” Stephens said, according to a CBS report from the time. “We deserve better than we have gotten. We are human beings.”
