Still has more require ments that a man. She should sue.
There is an argument to be made that women tend to change their last names while men do not.
That said, technically this is a legal requirement and has nothing to do with the gender of the person.
For example, my wife and I didn't legally change our names (thanks to undiagnosed ADHD we just didn't get around to it), but we have actually used our hyphenated names on pretty much everything except some legal stuff. If we had managed to get our names legally changed - I, a man, would potetntially have the very same requirements.
That said, I would say that this happens almost exclusively to women. But you do have to consider transitioning folks who change their name - or anyone who changes their name.
So it's certainly up for debate, at a minimum.
I talked to a trans lady at the DMV getting a STAR ID and she was telling me how hard it was. She had a giant folder full of all kinds of documents that were harder for an older person to get. I felt so bad for her. It had to be an absolute nightmare.
Fuck fascism. :(
Do they? I mean, sure women change their name in marriage more, but it's not required by law is it?
It's not required, but mist older folks did it back in the day.
Why is it that difficult in the first place? It doesn't even sound like an effective way to prevent identity theft.
