I really hate that this court filing has become public, and would dread if such a thing had happened to me, but at the same time…
Fuckin based.
yeah but imo it shouldnt show your old name in trans stuff because its a source of discrimination that could be avoided. just having the new and the old documents should be enough to transition all names
honestly its probably a way to discriminate against married women too
a whole bunch of people I know have just changed their name by asking people to call them by a different name.
that being said by it’s nature it has to be a fairly public thing because how else are people going to know to call you by a new name or be able to refer to you in all the myriad ways we use names
