Transgender Name Issues

[xerxes431]

The fact that I cannot change my display name to my name is frankly a travesty. I'll be back when they fix this.

You have to have a legal name on a legal, financial account.

Once you have legally changed your name you should be able to add it.

Same as a bank account you have to have your legal name on that one as well.

Have you heard of "screen names"? Many trans people cannot change their legal name due to various reasons. It would be nice if PayPal had a screen name feature, which would be used everywhere except for the actual legal documents where legal name is required.

Send a message to customer services and suggest it and no I have never heard of screen names.
