    Lots of other people change their names. Trans issues were hardly on the radar when this law was passed.

    And marriage records are a lot easier to track, and don’t involve changing first names. When someone changes their name for marriage, you can probably find out their maiden name fairly easily.

      All legal name changes should be easy to track since it requires updating social security, insurance, driver’s licenses, and pretty much everything else.
