Anyone else just... never go through the legal name change process? Its been like 7 years since I came out and I still haven't bothered with it.
Its hard to justify the cost mostly. It's also mildly amusing watching people stumble a bit if I have to show my ID for something. But getting called my deadname at the bank is starting to get tiresome ๐
I didn't think I was going to want to, but as I start to pass more I started to hate getting deadnamed or misgendered when using my credit card/license/accounts. But if I knew how much work it was going to be when I started I probably would have put it off longer!
Yeahhhh, the cost is hard to justify. I filled out the forms to have my gender marker changed but they sent them back asking for a bunch of family info that I don't know lol. Then I got grs and have been too preoccupied with post surgery stuff to try again. I will eventually though :P
