Hunter Schafer Criticizes Gender Policy After Passport Lists Her as Male

The 'Euphoria' star shares her struggles with identity and denounces a Trump administration policy limiting gender recognition to birth-assigned sex.

Hunter Schafer revealed that her newly issued passport lists her gender as male, a result of a Trump administration policy recognizing only birth-assigned sex.
The 26-year-old actress has been living as a woman since her teenage years, with all prior identification documents accurately reflecting her female gender.
Schafer shared her frustrations in a TikTok video, emphasizing that no policy can erase her identity as a transgender woman.
She detailed her journey of self-discovery and transition, which began in high school, and the initial challenges of gaining her conservative parents' acceptance.
The policy change has highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by transgender individuals in the U.S. regarding legal recognition and rights.
