Hack the System! How to Change Your Name & Gender Zine
A downloadable zine
Hack the System!
how to change your name and gender
Have you or someone you know been wanting to legally change your name and/or gender within the USA? Are you unsure how to get started? Are you stuck on a step?
I use my legal and bureaucratic expertise to guide you through the process as someone who's volunteered at a legal clinic during law school and helped a couple of friends in different states change their names and/or genders over the years.
Whether you're trans or not, the process is the same, so even if you're solely wanting to change your name, this will still be helpful to you.

This is my very first zine ever! I've always wanted to make one and after so many years, I finally did it! I got the DIY zine booklet paper from strangeandunusual.design/punchkisspress. Going to my local zine fest was extra inspiring for finally actually making a zine, and shout out to brattyxbre for all of her resources!

Install instructions
Both files are PDFs.
First file which has "read" in the name
This file is intended for reading, not printing. Simply download and enjoy on your device.
Second file which has "for printing" in the name.
This is the file you will need if you want to print and distribute your own copies. It will take 3 pages total to print.
Print the first two "slides" on both sides of a paper, same with the next 2 slides, and then the final page will only print on one side.
You will need to place the third page backwards when binding the zine and then "close" that page with glue so you don't see the blank side of the paper.
