A form of transphobia that I rarely see discussed, but that really fucking sucks: credit scores. My credit history is basically gone, thanks to TransUnion and Equifax not understanding what a legal name change is, and thanks to them being entirely unaccountable private companies that somehow govern your whole financial life.
I bring this up to help cis folks understand what their trans family and friends go through on the regular.
