Is it missing anything and or have anything in it that it shouldn't?
It's a white piece of paper. (Not even laminated), at the top it lists thera's name, address where she works & does the sessions, her phone number & email address, then it has a line to separate the following

Re: Insert my real legal name here (Aka Shana-chan)
This is a "Carry Letter" prepared for the above referenced individual for her to use in traveling and other situations. It is a standard document. Shana-chan is a transgendered biological male who is in the process of transitioning from male to female (MtF). I am her therapist who is assisting in this process. Shana-chan is following all necessary steps socially, occupationally, educationally and medically, to achieve full transition to female status, according to official standards of care provided by the world professional association for transgender health (WPATH), of which I am a member. It is universal protocol and socially appropriate for her to use women's public restrooms when in female presentation, and to be referred to using female pronouns "she" and her".
Your cooperation, assistance and consideration in this process is much appreciated.
Respectfully,

And that's it, that's the entire carry letter. So, is this legit? Is it missing anything or have something it shouldn't? Is there anything that should be added to it? I feel as though there needs to be something added to it where it says to call me Shana-chan and not my legal birth name as, someone who I showed this letter to recently did just that, called me by my legal birth name and I so did NOT appreciate it one bit. Also, besides the bathroom and to prove we say who we are to people like the police, government, doctors and such, what else can this carry letter be used for? Perhaps getting that blasted male status on my ID off saying my sex is male when it is not?
