Curriculum vitae & name change??

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with dealing with being trans in a CV... Basically, i go by my male name, but all paperwork went by my legal name. My legal name starts with M, as does my male name Misha, and for a while there i asked people to give me my papers (congress attendance papers, mostly) writing "M." instead of "M_____". But then, i got a couple of papers with Misha on them, and though i am seeking to get my name changed legally to Misha, in Mexico this is a complicated process and cannot be easily done.

So, i havent had my name legally changed but i already have some papers under my chosen name... How can i explain in a CV that i am transgender and that the papers have three different names ("M____", "M." and "Misha"), and that they are all mine and i am seeking to have my name changed and that is why the papers are disorganized like that?
