How have you navigated being transgender and applying for new jobs when you don't have your name legally changed yet but do have a preferred name?

Just set your gender to your transition (e.g. trans-ftm) on the application and type your preferred name into the box! Most applications have those fields these days. I will say though in this market it could be a detractor. I’d get a court ordered name change, update everything and then start applying as your desired gender. Biases are hard to overcome.

Most applications they ask for a “preferred name.”

Ah, I see. It's a bit of a mixed bag down where I'm at. (Deep South) So, some applications still insist on having your legal name with no accommodation to input a preferred name.
