Glasgow's first trans councillor said she hopes her election will demonstrate that transgender people are "not a threat".
Elaine Gallagher said she was "absolutely delighted" at having been elected as a councillor for the Scottish Greens in the Southside Central ward, but said she felt "a little bit apprehensive".
"I have put my head above the parapet and I'm going to be a target," she told the PA news agency.
