yeah no. changing your name because you got married (last name only) is not remotely the same as changing your entire name. Try recognizing why this law was made in the first place and that it has nothing to do with people that think they are something they are not. If you “don’t see a legitimate argument” then you are willingly obfuscating common sense from your perception and I have zero interest in continuing whatever this ‘conversation’ is. The fact that trans folk (or anyone for that matter) get so bent over something so small is proof in the pudding that they aren’t ready to lead via elected office.

Thanks for the explicit transphobia, I’m not interested in continuing this conversation either. Trans people are a normal part of life and until you come to terms with that, you should keep their names out of your mouth.
Loads of scammers change only their last names, so I don’t really buy that it’s that different. They should require names changed by marriage too if they want the purpose of this to be for tricking the public. If not, then I question how necessary it is in the first place. It’s not a big deal for Cis folks, but it is for Trans folks, so it should be reconsidered.
