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 🙃

    What’s the newspaper ad for? Is it publicly announcing that your trans or something?

      In California they require public notice of name change unless it is for marriage status change or associated with a gender change.

      That sums it right up I think but supposedly its for the worlds creditors who all read your local newspaper to watch for us changing our names just to get away from debts.

        I got mine waived as my mom already stalked my sister around town and posted about militant lesbians when she started dating women.

        I think you can extend that to alt right terrorists.
