And like the term that'll be used as they push to make more anti-trans legislation. Honestly, if it wasn't such a headache legally, I wonder how many people would change their name for reasons unrelated to being trans/enby I.e. i don't have a great relationship with my parents, I'd happily change my family name to something else, yes I know people getting married often deal with that headache, but the point remains.

We should have some sort of naming ceremony where you don't have a legal name until you're 16 or so and at that time you get to pick your name like some sort of right of passage, that'd be pretty sick honestly.

At the very least, everyone should be entitled to at least one free name change as an adult. But children and teenagers need to have the right to their own names, too. There's already a history of children taking their parents to court in order to get a name change when the name is absolutely insane (but we all know that would be rejected for a trans kid sadly).
