    I remember one of the cases of "it's literally illegal to misgender trans women in Canada" that chuds were obsessed with was this human rights case in Canada. To summarize it, the defendant was the Vancouver PD, and misgendering was used as part of the evidence, but their officers made a habit of harassing this one trans woman, and arresting her over trivial stuff, when in jail they'd taunt her and deny her access to medical treatment. I imagine it's less extreme versions of this stuff, bigotted cops with too much power disproportionately target trans women over smaller forms of "sexual offending". I remember a reddit thing of talking about public urination landing you on the sex offender list, probably not a huge concern if you're a cishet white man, but I imagine minority groups are much more likely to be arrested and charged with stuff like that.

      If you're talking about bill C-16, that's how up-yours-woke-moralists first rose to fame.
