    its a legally binding contract, you cant use any form of alias on legal documents its a crime. You can just after (if you even get partnered) request they refer you as your perfered name.

    A Discord Partner Application isn't a legally binding contract. It's purely to get your server into the Discord Partner Programme (if accepted).

    There's probably a legal reason why they require that. It's not Discord being transphobic. 

    If you need more evidence:

    • They let you enter your preferred name on many other occasions
    • They celebrate pride month almost every year
    • They were raising funds for lgbt organizations multiple times (link1) (link2)
    • They provide trans benefits for employees

    and so on.

    How would there be a legal reason to require a legal name to be put in for some random server partner program? It's not like it's a job application or something like that.
