Technically, she can. It’s just very expensive.

That's not what the government told us, unless you're talking about a regular name change. In any case the issue is the same: instead of forcing women to change their name, their solution was to force them not to.
 
There's a few other places out there that forbid surname changes, usually for bureaucracy reasons though, not civil rights.

For example, France since the 1780s.

Considering how most of the shows after SNW beamed a bunch of unintended awful stuff frequently, I'm guessing biofilters were severely nerfed or removed after they unintentionally removed some essential molecules and chemicals from an alien ambassador or something.

The depiction isn't always consistent. Sometimes the biofilter wouldn't detect something that wasn't specifically programmed into the database. Sometimes it could tell that something was amiss but couldn't filter it out for some technobabble reason or other, and at times not even bother to alert anybody. So nobody would even know unless they went back through the records. Or the system could be deliberately bypassed by someone with the right know-how.

Are the Gorn not made of normal atoms and molecules? That their eggs can't be detected by transporters goes beyond any realistic fictional science and basically into magical territory just to emphasize the incurable nature of egg implantation.

First time watching a Star Trek episode? Like all fictional tech, the transporter works as well as the plot requires. This can't be the first time something slipped through undetected.

The episode itself commented on the Gorn eggs not being detectable.
M'Benga: "The Gorn's biological makeup renders them invisible to all of our sensors. A genetic chameleon."

It wouldn't be the first time in the franchise that something made it through the transport process, that 'should have been' caught. I have to mentally step through the plot of TWOK again, but I'm pretty sure Ceti Eels are an example.

I've seen some speculation on other sites that this type of Gorn might be basically a genetically engineered bioweapon. That could explain some things.

And thsy is called a reboot. Which is fine so long as TPTB own up to it. Don't insult us viewers by trying to pass off all their changes as the same continuity.

Like you said, Fireproof, own the changes. Embrace the changes. Come out of the closet and into the light. It's OK to be rebootakei

Heh. I was recently watching shows, like MASH, and the amount of inconsistencies in that show would have people calling it a reboot too. Star Trek has inconsistencies, changes it's past and that's fine by me. The essence is the same. I'm not insulted when they change things and keep them in the same continuity.
 
Yet Radar doesn't change over the course of the movie, the series and a spinoff. Gary Burghoff is the hero we didn't know we needed but we deserve.
