Hunter Schafer, star of HBO’s “Euphoria” and a prominent transgender woman in Hollywood, revealed in a TikTok video that her new passport was issued with a male gender marker, despite applying as female. The 26-year-old actor expressed shock at the implementation of a State Department policy that uses sex assigned at birth to determine gender markers on passports. Schafer stated that she posted the video to highlight the reality of the situation and show solidarity with other transgender individuals facing similar challenges.
Schafer’s experience comes amid a wave of recent executive orders signed by President Trump targeting transgender Americans, including restrictions on playing sports, military service, and access to healthcare. The State Department and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Schafer’s situation.
As Schafer prepares to travel internationally, she expressed concerns about potentially having to disclose her transgender status to Border Patrol. Her story sheds light on the ongoing challenges faced by transgender individuals in navigating government policies and societal attitudes.
