This is well known in the transgender community.<p>Facebook has a history of forcing trans people to verify their names by providing legal ID. This hurts people who haven&#x27;t yet been able to legally change their names for one reason or another even if they go by their new name exclusively in real life.<p>So to deal with this, the community discovered a while back that you can just scan your ID and Photoshop in whatever name you&#x27;d like, and Facebook will accept it. They don&#x27;t look too closely.
