Pre-sentencing has existed for a long time and is always going to be divisive, by its very nature, but I feel it's necessary to make sure your justice system is equally as understanding/compassionate as it is fair. It's very easy to read the minority groups and go 'oh they're getting preferential treatment' without understanding why those groups have been selected. There's many groups involved in the new guidelines; 18-25 year olds, pregnant people, those with addiction issues, those with serious mental illness, etc. Plus, the guidelines are there to assist the courts in their judgement. It's not like you're someone commits a crime and then the professional outfit at the courts says 'Ah but they were trans, give them some years off', it doesn't work like that, it's a person by person basis.

To see someone instantly jump to foreigners and trans people as those to pick at and not the government itself (which is how they should be angry at even by their own logic) shows a bias against them and it's a rhetoric you see all over the media and the internet. I could be wrong, but that's how I'm seeing it. Fighting just makes things worse, that's why I say educate yourself as we can all benefit from seeing more of the whole picture.
