    So many systems just cannot comprehend that names change. Or they make name changes weirdly inconvenient (if I can’t just email the paperwork it’s too inconvenient). It’s not that big of a problem but it is a random pain in the ass every once in a while

      This is the only reason I didn’t change my name when I got married. (I’m a guy, but her last name is much better than mine)

        Yeah that’s fair. I think they’re better about marriage based name changes (social security absolutely is). I’m just glad I didn’t try on multiple names before picking one while transitioning.

        Ooh, there’s dozens of us!

        I’m a guy who did change his last name to hers. I regret everything years later still (paperwork wise, marriage and name wise no regrets)
