I'm starting gender transition, I prefer to have my name match my identity, but it's a long process to change a legal name. Is there a way to change it as a "to be changed to"?

Would you do this please :

Click on your display name/avatar on the upper right side of this page;   then click on   "View" <big>→</big> "Edit Profile", and then click on the big blue button saying  "Manage Firefox Account".
There you will see the option to change our display name.

Go to the top of any support.mozilla.org web page and press your user icon to see your Mozilla profile. Including your questions and answers.

You should find what you want there.

Hi folks,

Just wanted to let you all know that this work has been deployed in the staging site https://github.com/mozilla/sumo-project/issues/580 and you'll soon be able to update your username easily from profile setting.
