Yeah, but what if there's a worker list and theres Charles Whatever written there... and you reference to Charles as 'she' because she's now known as Charla...? Wouldn't you disclose informations which is meant to be held private?
At that he/she was "Charles" so let the record stand. Now he/she is "Charla".  The written record must reflect the time but not necessarily relate to the other period in time.

Pronouns are no problem for me, as we seldom use gender-specific pronouns in my language.

My recent headache is the restroom in my university. Outside of the campus, I enter women's restroom and I have no problem. But in the campus, students and faculty members all know that I am biologically male. Entering men's room while wearing a miniskirt embarrass students there, and then me, too.

Fortunately, near my office, there is a restroom for handicapped women, which virtually nobody uses. I sometimes enter there, but the problem is that it always makes alarm ringings when the door is opened and closed, making me unnecessarily noticeable.

Again fortunately, students here are obedient to faculty members, and nobody yet complains regarding restroom issues.

Regarding pronouns, my colleagues and friends take care of me, using women's if necessary.
