#introduction: my battles
I was the first trans person to change my name on already-published research papers. I didn't think I was the first when I did it, which helped.
I'm part of the Name Change Policy Working Group (https://ncpwg.org) to make this easier for others. Many journals now allow name changes.
Google Scholar refuses to call trans authors by their names, or even talk to trans people. I made https://scholar.hasfailed.us. Google should either listen to us or shut down Scholar.
@arborelia Thank you for collating this information. I'm really pleased to see that IEEE supports name changes without needing reason or proof. Such a shame that other publishers make it so hard.
@ingram I don't get credit for the web site, but I did work on getting IEEE to have a policy.
And if all these publishers can figure something out, why can't Google?
