When I got my passport last year I dimly remember reading a section that discussed transitioning transsexuals. I think the rules were that until you got SRS, you had to put your sex as your birth sex. Once you got SRS, you had to update your passport to reflect being post-op. I don't recall anything about having to appear as a "male" or "female" when you get photographed. It seemed like the rules were more focused on ensuring your picture met certain quality and size standards than anything else. I actually got my picture taken at Walgreens. Maybe the rules for getting a driver's license photo is more stringent than for a passport photo? If anything, I think he should have got his picture taken with makeup on so that it'll be easier for others to recognize him! Maybe the officials just refused to believe he wore makeup everyday?
