My Question or Issue:

I am transgender and do not want my account linked to my old name. I am a premium member. Do I have to cancel my membership and get a new one, and re-do all my playlists just to essentially change my profile name from my old, defunct male name to my current female name?

I didn't think etting my gender markers switched on government ID would be easier than an online membership. I hope I am wrong and there is a way.

Hey @fakebrent.

Thanks for getting in touch!

If you would like a new username, you'll need a new account. No worries, if you make sure your music collection is stored in public playlists, you can visit your old account with your new account and grab all your songs from there. You’ll be able to visit your old account by putting the following string in the search bar:  spotify:user:username

Don't forget to replace username with your own username. Oh and by the way, If you want to use the same email address for your new account, you'll have to close your old account. You'll have 7 days to visit your old account and find your music there. You’ll also need to cancel your subscription on your old account, in case you have a Premium account.

We hope you'd like to try this! It's a lot quicker than it might seem. Let us know if you have further questions.

Have a nice day!
