like I paid my captors 40€ so they fix the "gender" column in my row of their database, who cares.the name I submitted isn't even the name I use anymore for plural reasons, but I already have that name in some paperwork and putting my current name would generate more headaches, and who cares which name the government know me as anyway.
getting this appointment was a whole ordeal but the appointment itself was fine. I found out just today that apparently I was supposed to bring a certified translation of my Brazilian birth certificate so I was dreading the Termin, being pretty sure they'd reject the application on these grounds, but no, the clerk accepted my untranslated certificate without a hitch. they were quite nice to me, all in all, just like the Bürgerbüro, which is still something that makes me feel weird and paranoid after years of dealing with Ausländerbehörde treatment.
now I have a whole other pile of paperwork to solve, including getting the *Brazilian* govt to flip the relevant bit in their own database, handling this Vonovia lawsuit, ordering a new Personalausweis, and changing my name in two dozen contracts and services and registers of various types, basically every institution who didn't accept my DGTI
