The fingerprinting requirement applies to names changed for ANY reason (other than done as part of a marriage or divorce), so it's not a policy that was designed in mind to make things harder for the transgender population.

I know it's not only the trans population who need to do the prints... and personally I don't think it's right outside to do this to anyone, unless there's some kind of crime that's been committed. Or if everyone else is getting prints, the folks getting married should need to do the fingerprints too. It's still a name change. Except a more socially accepted one. Criminals get married too. :)
