Hunter Schafer ‘Shocked’ Her New Passport Lists Her Gender As Male

by

Hunter Schafer, known for her role in Euphoria, expressed surprise that her updated passport lists her gender as male, following President Donald Trump’s new gender policies. As a trans actress, she shared on TikTok on February 21st that she felt “I’ll believe it when I see it,” but with the arrival of her new passport, she has indeed seen it.

Schafer mentioned that she had to obtain a fresh passport as the previous one was stolen in Barcelona the previous year. She stated that since she altered her gender marker during her teenage years, she marked herself as female on the application. However, the recently issued passport identifies her as male, which she suspects is due to the lack of an update on her birth certificate. “I don’t care that they placed an M on my passport; it doesn’t fundamentally alter who I am or my trans identity,” Schafer said. “Nonetheless, it does make life a bit more challenging.” She added that she will need to use this new passport for international travel next week, which may necessitate frequent disclosure of her trans status to border control agents, something she’d prefer not to do.

Schafer emphasized she didn’t want to create unnecessary alarm or find comfort in the situation. Instead, she felt it was crucial to convey that the issue at hand is not just empty words, but something tangible and ongoing. She stressed that no one, regardless of their circumstances, wealth, race, or appearance, is immune to this reality. In conclusion, she wanted to express that transgender people are stunning, we will continue to exist, and this administration can’t change who she is. She reiterated, “I am trans, and I will always be.
