My first name on my birth certificate is gender neutral when spoken but has one of the common gendered spellings. My jobs, the work I do, is often done primarily via text.
I got tired of all the pronouns being applied simply because of that spelling. It was mentally tiring the feeling of the weight of all the assumptions people seemed to be making about me just because of the letters that spelled my name.
I changed my name to a gender neutral or ambiguous spelling. I kept the same pronunciation.
