Although we are knowledgeable about the processes for legally updating a name and/or gender marker, we do not have legal backgrounds and cannot provide legal advice. That said, we are seeking collaborations with others with legal backgrounds to help in situations where folks may need more specific legal guidance. Do you anticipate having a more in-depth need for legal advice?
