It might be "correct," but signing paperwork with my legal name (i.e, my deadname) feels like fraud. It feels weird, and icky.

That isn't my name any more, or even my identity. But it's the one still recognised in officialdom, so that's who I roleplay as when I do official stuff.

Now I'm starting to wonder whether that isn't a feature - after all, real names have power.
