I live in Australia, so YMMV, but for me, the things I needed to update were:
Government/their services and programs, local and federal
Medical things (insurance, doctors, etc)
Banks/Financial Institutions (I don’t know how a 401k works, but that probably is included)
Insurance
Car registration
Identity documents
Wills, if you have one
Company registrations, if you have one
Beyond that legal obligation, there is no one you have to tell if you don’t feel comfortable. I took the opportunity of legally changing my name to finally come out in the rest of my life (work and uni), but you don’t have to.
Also fun fact I can tell that Medicare (Australias one) definitely doesn’t distinguish between trans and cis women because the week after I changed my name/gender I received a letter telling my I was due to get my cervix checked lol
Lol, same at my primary, I mean I have had surgery now and my surgeon said to get a yearly spec check.
But being asked at an urgent care if I could be pregnant when I had nausea and stomach pain was a trip.

So how was it?
Couldn’t find one, must be terminal
Well hell
