I’m applying for the JET Programme. I’m a transgender male but I have not medically transitioned or have my gender markers changed on my passport or birth certificate. What should I do?

October 1, 2025

Do I apply with my legal name? If I move onto the interview stage, am I able to inform the interviewer that I have a preferred name? I don't want to jeopardize my application in any capacity.
