Example email to professors/teachers regarding your name/gender on the roster vs what it actually is

sthealth:

I’ve used same format on emailing professors about my name multiple times. It’s clear and succinct, which makes it like the best or something.
Mr/Ms/Mrs/Dr/Prof [Last name],
I am a student in your [Name of course] class next semester. The roster will list me as my legal name, [Birth name]; however, I prefer to be addressed as [Chosen name] and with [female/male] pronouns [he/she], [him/her], [his/hers]. Please also forward this to the appropriate T.A. or assistant or let me know who they are so that I may inform them of this preference as well.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
[Chosen name]
Credit goes to some university (was it U of Colorado? I think it was)
Gonna bring this back since it’s almost back to school season. Luckily I don’t have to do this anymore but this was my routine for 6 quarters and it honestly saved me from a lot of anxiety on the first day.
