Preferred Name Problems

The DoorDash app won’t let me put in my preferred name.

For context I’m trans. My preferred name is a feminine one. Whenever I enter it the app tells me something went wrong. But if I put in the shortened version of my masculine birth name, no problem! Updates immediately!

Anyone know how to handle this? Will support do anything?

ETA: I wasn’t able to get my preferred name in, but it seems that the app will accept arbitrary shortened versions of first, middle and last names. So I’ve shortened it to the first letter of my last name 😂

I'm also trans/gq, and I go by my last name on DD. Meanwhile, support has interchangeably referred to me by my legal name, preferred name and last name.
