Hunter Schafer Criticizes Trump's Gender Policy Order

Hunter Schafer, an actress known for her role in 'Euphoria', has revealed that her new passport lists her gender as male due to an executive order signed by President Donald Trump, which mandates federal recognition of only two genders—male and female—as assigned at birth. Schafer, a transgender woman, expressed her shock and concern over this change, as her official documents had listed her gender as female for years. The executive order has resulted in the Bureau of Consular Affairs freezing passport applications requesting gender marker changes. Schafer highlighted the broader implications of this policy for the transgender community, emphasizing the potential difficulties in interactions with border officials and other authorities. Despite acknowledging her privilege, Schafer voiced her fears about the erasure of transgender identities under this administration. She shared her experience not to seek consolation but to raise awareness about the real impacts of the current administration's policy on trans rights.
