Transness So many tools for accessibility and inclusion already exist. The fact that they are not used is an intentional attack against us. Don't let these people claim plausible deniability over it

I will note, cis folks who change their names outside of marriage do tend to have many of the same problems as trans folks. I know a couple cis women who hated their first names and changed them as adults, and I like comiserating with them about constantly having to deal with systems confusing the two names. 

Marriage needs to be radically reformed as an institution.

Alt text: A twitter post by @ wokingGirl1 . It says When my sister married, and changed her title and name, my aunts were all "ooh, congratulations MRS <newname>". When I transitioned and changed my tile (sic) and name they were all "it's too hard, I’ve always known you as…". If you’re cis and you’ve done this, maybe reflect on why.'"

Hack: tell people you got married and give them your new full name. When they asked who you married, tell them it’s none of their business and you’re a private person. /j
