In the US, many.

In California, the same person, state senator Scott Wiener, the senator from Trans, Inc., managed to get a law passed that drops the penalty for knowingly infecting someone with HIV to a misdemeanor.

Senator Wiener also got a law passed that makes "mis-gendering" a crime punishable by a $1000 fine and (or?) a year in jail.

So in "liberal" California, you get a slap on the wrist for KNOWINGLY giving someone what used to be a death sentence, but jail if you misgender that flower of demure womanhood, Bruce Jenner.

New York City has a fine of $250,000 for misgendering (verify before you use that).

WomenAreHuman.com might have more specifics on various US states.

Fuck. I hate to be that guy, but if Biden wins and the Democrats win the Senate, it will be the end for women and all their sex-based rights. There's no turning back, and there's no hoping this will go back to normal.
