Hunter Schafer, a transgender actor and star of the HBO series “Euphoria”, revealed that his new passport was issued with a male gender marker due to an executive order signed by the president Donald Trump.
Schafer, 26, published a video on social networks detailing how his passport had been stolen while he was Filming in Spain. After receiving an emergency passport, then he had to request a new and permanent one in Los Angeles. Schafer, who made the transition to the woman when she was a teenager, said that her original passport identified her as a woman, but the new one who received her as a man.
Schafer said he was not publishing the video to “create drama”, “Fearmonger” or “receive comfort”, but because he thought it was worth pointing out “the reality of the situation and that it is actually happening.”
“Trans people are beautiful. We will never stop existing. I’m never going to stop being trans,” he said in the video. “A letter and a passport cannot change that. And f — this administration.”
