The name shown on a record is the preferred name, the one emails, mentions and search read. The legal name, when it differs, lives in a field only a small group can see, empty on installation and never tracked in the thread; only the documents that require it read it, such as an electronic signature or a donation receipt. People enter their pronouns and grammatical gender on the portal or in their preferences. Nothing is guessed from a first name: left empty, text about them is written in gender-neutral language. Change preferred name renames the contact, and their employee record, without leaving the former name in the history.
