As are many trans people, of course. Our "real" names are the ones we go by, regardless of what it says on our government-issued ID cards. But in order to access most services, we have to either deadname ourselves or go through lengthy, costly, invasive procedures to align our legal identities with our true selves. Assuming doing so is even legal or possible where we live.
