When I came out, the company I was working for at the time attempted to put me in a "working group for dealing with trans people". I begrundingly agreed to this, but it turned out they didn't want me as an advisor. I dug out precedent for name change without a legal change (it's nearly impossible here); they dismissed it and then spent the rest of the meeting telling me they'd have to ask all the women on the floor if they were comfortable with me using the restroom. (I had not requested that whatsoever, i did not male-fail at that point). I handed them a copy of the SAP guidelines[1] (this was a much smaller company than SAP) and bailed. If you want to do it right, hire a real consultant. Thankfully a few months later there was a change of leadership, and my name was changed in Slack/AD with no problems whatsoever. 1: https://www.charta-der-vielfalt.de/uploads/tx_dreipccdvdiversity/Richtlinien%20zur%20Geschlechtsangleichung.pdf https://www.charta-der-vielfalt.de/uploads/tx_dreipccdvdiver...
