    Having to change the paperwork is a bureaucratic nightmare and should absolutely not be the normal.

    Trans comrades get a pass as well as anyone who actively cares enough to change it but it is a mess of paperwork for everyone.

        My mom changed her name after her divorce and she still gets random shit from the government and companies with her old name. Until we can come up with some universal digital archive for all data, it's probably gonna remain a nightmare.

      All official bureaucratic forms and stuff could just use an unchanging unique identifier (like the ones we already use: SSN, driver's license, etc.); and people vould change what they want other people to call them any time they wanted.

        If you want to remove the ability to identify family structure which is one of the big reasons we have names then sure.

        Also, trying to get documentation to someone based only on a pin is going to be absolute hell.

        "Hey, I have a tax form for #3209823 do you know where I might find them? Their last address seems to be outdated but I know they live here"

        "What's their name?"

        "I don't know."

          Well, housing should be state owned and provided, and all jobs through the state. So yeah, the state shouldn't be losing track of people like that. Also abolish the family.

      Super easy in the UK, you just fill out a form with two witnesses, and hey presto.

      Some organisations like banks want a special version of the form you need to pay £50 for, but otherwise it's free and requires minimal interaction with the government.
