I think it’s perfectly reasonable to argue that “real” name doesn’t mean “legal” name (unless stated elsewhere in the agreement). “Real” should refer to non-fraudulent, not a pseudonym, etc. A trans person’s “preferred” name is their real name for these purposes. I hope this youtuber gets this decision reversed asap.

You could argue that but I think most people would agree that “real name” means “legal name” (or some obvious shortening/variation of it).
Still, they’ve contradicted their own “real name” policy so it doesn’t really matter.
