Donald Trump‘s anti-trans executive order, revealing her new passport now lists her gender as ‘Male’.Trump’s executive order declares that the US government will only recognise two genders: male and female.In a series of TikTok posts, Schafer, best-known for her roles in HBO‘s Euphoria and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, explained her situation while also sharing her fears over the difficulties fellow trans individuals are likely to face as a result of the order.“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 said she initially doubted the policy would be put 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. So as soon as I got back to.
