There are a number of jurisdictions in the United States where deadnaming or misgendering or use of wrong pronouns has become an actionable offense under the law.

There are? I didn't know that! *shudders*

Yes. Usually part of civil rights investigation and enforcement under city and county governments.

Alternatively under school district or college/university DEI (Diversity,Equity, and Inclusion) offices. Ditto for larger corporations.

All part of HR (Human Resources/human rights) overreach.

Starting to pushback now. Some states are beginning to forbid the use of DEI metrics in hiring and promotion decisions. In my state (Florida) there is a concerted campaign to scour DEI and CRT (Critical Race Theory) out of public education. Still, the infection is massive and it is going to take strong countermeasures to clear it out.
