Ah I see. OP did specify that they're in the US so hopefully this is not a problem for them.
I'm in the US and it is very much a problem for me and another trans person even in a state that protects trans rights
Isn't it troublesome on paperwork to have differing last names in the same family? I even found an article saying that most Eastern European families use a singular last name when they come to the US, because differing last names really isn't compatible with the US legal system.
Idk, my sister and I have different legal last names, and my brother has my last name for a middle name.
That must be difficult. Do you think you'll eventually change your last name when you do your legal name change?
Yes
