Trans people, can you lie about your name on a resume if you don't have a legal name change?

I'm FTM and I pass daily, but haven't gotten a legal name change yet. I'm leaving my current job and want to find a new one but with my chosen name.

The process of getting a name change takes 6 weeks and obviously, bills.

So can I just lie about my name on my resume and the interview?
