I'm at work so I'm not going to spend my limited time watching a hit piece.Like this?
But here, you have to file a form, sometimes with a fee, to the government to change your legal name. It's a bit of a process to reissue your ID after the legal name change but there is no requirement to change your legal name other than you want to.
I feel the same way about changing your ID's 'male or female' listing. No 'diagnosis' required.
