We recognise the cruel reality that many trans people's legal names are deadnames.

@gnome I'm liking this trend of phrasing stuff like this. "Not your legal name, your real name"

@tastytea@very.tastytea.de @gnome@floss.social No. However we didn't had a formal process and it mostly came down to feelings of a certain someone.
Then after a⦠certain incident lawyer was contacted and it was formally cleared up.

@tastytea we used to say a βlegal nameβ was required in some places, but no, we have never done ID verification. Membership is based on demonstrable contribution and social proof, where existing members vouch for new applicants.
After consulting with and discussing within the community (and seeking legal clarification of our obligations under California/US nonprofit law), we updated our process to explicitly not require βlegalβ names, instead emphasizing that applicants just useβ¦ their name.
