I no longer use my birth name, and more of my identity is now as Dee. I wouldn't provide my deadname to be in a public register, and yet to not do so is also a crime under the Online Safety Act.
Don't know how you feel about letting go of the deadname but you don't need a deed poll to legally have a new name - technically using a new name is all that is legally required and a deed poll/marriage cert/whatever official document is commonly accepted is evidence. So being registered as Dee in the register of services would arguably not be providing information which is false in a material respect.

It also doesn't work for me who operates the site, I no longer use my birth name, and more of my identity is now as Dee. I wouldn't provide my deadname to be in a public register, and yet to not do so is also a crime under the Online Safety Act.
Being a trans person running a moderately sized platform for forums has unexpected consequences it seems.
It's my own fault, I put "London" in the name and made it appeal to people within an area, rather than calling it fixieskidders.com and just not having a clue where anyone lived or accessed from.
