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 🙃

  • I’ve done it twice. The second time, I asked for a waiver of the court fees and it was granted. So it was just the time.

    I’m planning to do it a third time, because I’ve gotten married, and we want to combine our last names. I will ask for a waiver of the fees again.

    It doesn’t hurt to ask, so long as you don’t lie.
