    The law just says they have to “use the name and pronouns given by the individual.” That means they’ll release your picture with the name Long Dick Johnson and pe/nis pronouns, and then refer to you as “the individual in question, legally known as Adam Smith” for the rest of the post. It’s a nothingburger that I’m pretty sure is designed to get conservatives frothing at the mouth. It’ll be fun listening to my mom bitch about it for 20 minutes as if it means anything at all.
