Oh, I'm calling it now. This one is going to be used as an attack of trans people. Throw out the archaic and manual process of updating names in federal databases, and keep it simple by making the records immutable. Then hit them with a lovely

"You MUST use your REAL NAME (MAIDEN NAME) on government forms. If the name does not match, you will be denied."

There are already attempts to make it so your name has to match your birth certificate in order to vote.

Targets both trans rights and women's rights, simultaneously.

Oh, great. So it's also another regressive push towards recreating the mysognist shithole decades where married women were treated as the property of their husbands. What's next, giving married men in heterosexual relationships two votes?
