Its hard to justify the cost mostly. It's also mildly amusing watching people stumble a bit if I have to show my ID for something. But getting called my deadname at the bank is starting to get tiresome 🙃

What's the newspaper ad for? Is it publicly announcing that your trans or something?

That sums it right up I think but supposedly its for the worlds creditors who all read your local newspaper to watch for us changing our names just to get away from debts.

I got mine waived as my mom already stalked my sister around town and posted about militant lesbians when she started dating women.

I think you can extend that to alt right terrorists.

In California they require public notice of name change unless it is for marriage status change or associated with a gender change.
