my bank has a Pride theme so now when I open the app there's a rainbow next to my deadname
@alex au secours
@alex
oh no
@alex well, that's just delightfully enraging
re: rainbow capitalism
@alex so progressive!
@alex send them a screenshot and ask "change this, or I'll change where my salary goes"
(worked for me)
@LunaDragofelis @meena @alex
Pff just an excuse to hide their sad UIs
@LunaDragofelis @alex main reason i'm running vanilla (or my phone's vendor's) android, rather than LineageOS… and complaining nonstop about it
@LunaDragofelis @meena @alex Take a photo with another device
@ae @LunaDragofelis @meena this is a pretty void conversation, I mean, I can just message them. they know what name they use for me
@alex @LunaDragofelis @meena Yeah I guess we all collectively forgot about the simple route
@LunaDragofelis @meena @alex yeah that's super annoying
@meena i haven't had a legal name change and not sure banks accept random first names?
@alex aye, yeah
literally the only reason I had one, despite living germany ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_rights_in_Germany ) is that I'm Austrian and our laws and bureaucracy sucks slightly less. a lot less, actually, compared to Germany
@alex@pipou.academy the cyberpunk future we don't deserve
@alex@pipou.academy why am i laughing at this
@jeder i'm laughing too
@alex This is the pride for large corporations...
@alex name and shame please 😁
Pride and prejudice?
@alex Ooof.
@alex pride month in a nutshell
@alex I don't know how it is in france but don't you have the right for data correction?
People change their name all the time (preference, marriage, transformation, etc).
Can you go to the bank with your ID and have it changed no questions asked?
I don't know how it is in france but I assume it's trival once the gov issued a new ID, right?
@alex nevermind.
You wrote in this thread that you didn't obtain the new documents (yet)
@saxnot yeah, I haven't gone any legal steps yet :)
@alex i fucking hate everything
why do we need to hold onto our deadnames for bureaucratic bullshit
@alex pfffff
