transgender surgery at 18

I found this short video interesting (someone I follow on twitter linked to it that I can't remember).  The one thing I found interesting was the comment about photos.  When she transitioned, they took down all the photos because it was a different person.  As an adult I don't see this as being a big deal, you sort of re-invent yourself.  As a teenager who has photos with their family (and still live under someone else's roof), it has to be hard.  Makes me wonder if they'd be open to photoshopping the memories rather than simply dismissing them.
