Cool.

Got a question.

If you are transgendered and change your gender at a later date (think 20s or older), do the surgery, take the hormone pills, etc, are you obligated to get a new passport photo, or can you keep the same one until it expires?

(It can be answered from any country. I'm not trans, just curious how it works with government paperwork bullshit).

Transgender is an adjective, not a noun or a verb (like if someone is tall or short, for example.) It can be offensive to refer to someone as transgendered, or especially if its used as a noun to refer to someone.

Typically, trans people benefit from having their documents match their presentation. Its much less hassle and wasted time.
