Yes. Outside of school. Outside of the classroom. Outside of where I was graded. Outside of the exams.
And they should do so, officially. It is an option and they should take advantage of it.
How the fuck do you expect a child with unsupportive parents or in certiab states to change their name legally? Thats simply not a fiar expectation, and forcing the whims of shitty parents and stares (anything unsupportive in the case of trans people we are obviously discussing is indeed shitty- this is not up for debate) is a dick move.
Wait until you're of legal age, campaign to make it legal earlier, go to a lawyer that works pro-bono and have them sue your parents for not respecting your rights as a free-willed individual.
If your aren't willing to fight for it, then is it really something you can call a defining trait? If the others aren't willing to fight for it with you, then is it really something worth enforced?
Going after one teacher doesn't solve the problem itself. It's just a skin deep plaster that hides the infected wound below. Fix the wound, don't just pretty it up.
I think you severely underestimate the likelihood of a kid ending up in ab environment that is hostile on all sides, which does not mean the problem isn't worth fighting for
If the kid ends up in that kind of environment, just one teacher using their actual name is the least of the things you should be concerned about.
