If an employer* in NYC or Seattle tolerates one employee persistently and intentionally referring to another employee by the wrong pronoun, it violates their local discrimination laws just as much as in Quebec, with enforceable penalties to boot. No, it's not criminal in either place, if it's not coupled with more. Another poster replied with a link debunking this myth as applied to Canada. And yes, laws aimed at preventing a hostile work environment, even speech-based ones, have been held to be constitutional in the US. For a US federal example, repeatedly targeting someone with racial slurs within a workplace* will also get you into punishable trouble. *Yes, I know certain employers, like 2-person companies, are excluded from these laws. Doesn't change the general point.
