Here in Brazil, it is possible to change your name but not gender marker on your ids before having SRS. I'm contemplating this possibility of doing this because I have been living full time for 2 months now, but there are complications, namely my family. My father is non-accepting and I will be financially dependent for a year or so still until I graduate. The reason I am getting away with transition is because he simply doesn't wants to see the truth and we don't live in the same city and I can finance my HRT with my own sparse earnings.
So I am thinking about changing my ID card and university name, so I graduate with the correct name as this would cause less problems in my professional life. It is also very unlikely he would find out before I graduate. The major thing that could cause problems is if my current bank decides to change my name of my bank account, as it is the account he deposits to and I withdraw money from.
The plan is to change my legal name, the university name, create a new bank account and keep the old account with the older name. I would use the new account for general monthly expenses while keeping the old account with the same old name to withdraw money from. Yes I am aware it is a balancing act. I will be able to use the old bank card without any problems, because here in my country your ID is never asked, only the password.
Can anyone give their general thoughts and opinions? Thanks!
