I got my gender marker changed. But not my name change yet. So I'm in this weird limbo where this basically constantly happens as described by the meme haha.
Sometimes I encounter a nice person and they change my preferred name in the system. And sometimes I don't and it's annoying... Or they'll even make me announce my legal name etc.
I want to pursue my name change... But I'm also worried they'll refuse and correct my documents forcibly due to the current political state that I won't go into.
Plus I'm trying to buy a house and if I change my name I can lose my credit score apparently? I'm trying to wait until after I bought the house and then afterwards I might be able to do my name change by then. But we'll see what happens.
Something similar happened to me when I was scheduling my dentist appointment from my mother's phone (I ran out of credit in January). I have said like 3 times that I am X and they kept on talking to me in third person. I am not sure if they were deaf, dense, or over worked but I will take it despite looking like somebody who needs their mom for a dentist appointment at 21
Gave the wrong library card no over the phone and the librarian said “oh they must’ve completely misheard you, it’s down as [deadname], same address and everything” I said “oh no that’s my brothers card, let me find you mine we’re always getting them mixed up” I’m an only child. She suspected nothing. Probably.

"[Deadname] is no longer with us; I am authorized to handle their affairs. What do you need?"

“Oh I’m so sorry to hear that, we’re going to need legal copies of their certificates before we can discuss this with you blah blah blah”

Unfortunately I'm too self conscious for voice training and nobody gets confused over the phone :c
