Or, as the less-crazy types of troons call it, the "government name" because if you haven't been assed enough to change it, that's the name they'll need when dealing with yer crazy ass

As far as I'm concerned if you want to use a different name for yourself like a nickname or whatever knock yourself out. I'm fine with that, it's the people that cry about their official legal name that get me. The people working the office don't know your emotional baggage , they need your legal name for the damn form. Either change it or put up with it. Next we know the damn TSA will be accused for "persecuting" transpeople because they booked a ticket for their preferred name that doesn't match their ID.
