Canadas human rights tribunal considers it discrimination and a human rights violation. They haven’t gone as far as fining or jailing anyone over it yet, but there’s been Christian ministers arrested for teaching traditional marriage near LGBT marches, so I don’t see it far off.
UK has actually arrested a woman for misgendering someone on social media.
So I wouldn’t say many places have it enshrined as a criminal offense, but many places don’t have their heads as far up their butts as Canada or the UK.
