Hunter Schafer’s New Passport Lists Her Gender as ‘Male’ After Trump Executive Order: ‘I Am Never Going to Stop Being Trans. F— This Administration’

Euphoria” star Hunter Schafer posted a video to her TikTok story in which she revealed that her renewed passport lists her gender as male following Donald Trump‘s executive order declaring the government will only recognize two genders: Male and female.

Schafer is one of the most prominent trans actors in Hollywood thanks to her roles in HBO’s “Euphoria,” “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” and Amazon’s upcoming “Blade Runner 2099,” among other projects. “I’m sure most of us remember on I think the first day of Trump’s presidency, he signed an executive order to declare only two genders recognized by the state, male and female assigned at birth,” Schafer said in the video. “As a result of this, which I wrote down because I want to get it right, the Bureau of Consular Affairs has frozen passport applications requesting a gender marker change or renewals or new applications with a gender marker deferring from an applicant’s gender assigned at birth.” Schafer admitted she initially doubted such a policy would go into action because “our president is a lot of talk… And today, I saw it on my new passport: male.” “Now, to specify, my gender markers were first changed in my teens, when I first got my driver’s license and then passports following, all have been female since then,” Schafer explained. “Hasn’t really been a problem.

However, last year when I was filming in Barcelona, our car got broken into and my bag got stolen and inside of that was my passport which was supposed to last me up until my 30s.

So I got an emergency passport, which was very simple at the time. It’s basically just a copy of my old passport but temporary and only supposed to be used within the year.
