More details to this question:
I don't know if this is in the right topic but here goes. Say there's a same sex couple living in a state where same sex couples aren't recognized, but one of them is transgendered and is still legally considered the opposite gender. What if this couple got married and then the transgender person wanted to legally change their gender after the fact? Is their marriage no longer recognized?

To my knowledge, this is a matter of law that has never been addressed in Pennsylvania. I believe a change of gender of one of the partners would make the marriage void or voidable in the state that does not recognize same sex marriage.
