#12Not living in north america, there's something i must be missing - who looks at the name on a credit card? who even touches your credit card anymore? in europe and uk you're either contactless or you're given the terminal to enter your card yourself, and I'm 99% certain the "name" that is written on the card never comes up on screen

What’s your objection? That people’s ID and cards shouldn’t contain their name?

If it were only a very minor psychological discomfort, you'd be right. Unfortunately, other clientele in the store may harass you and follow you out of the store.
As someone who has been on the receiving end of incredibly violent threats, being able to not be outed publicly is critical to everyday safety for trans people.

I’ve been checked many many times. If not it would be very easy to commit fraud

I've never had the name on my credit card checked since no one has ever handled my credit card outside of me.

But this would just mean the name on the card does NOT match the name on the ID. How does this help with the issue of fraud at all?

Are we talking everyday purchases (eg. buying groceries), or high risk transactions like buying $1000 worth of prepaid cards?
