After receiving a new passport with an altered gender marker, the 'Euphoria' star shared a stark reality check on trans rights under the Trump administration.

Trans actress Hunter Schafer received a new passport that incorrectly identifies her gender as 'male.' She put the current political administration on blast.

I was shocked because I just didn’t think it was actually going to happen,' Schafer said of the passport change.

At yesterday evening’s 2025 Independent Spirit Awards, where Schafer was both a nominee (for her film Cuckoo) and a presenter, Natasha Rothwell used her acceptance speech for best ensemble cast in a new scripted series (for How to Die Alone) to champion trans rights.

Actor Hunter Schafer is speaking out after she says she had to get a passport that had the gender she was assigned at birth instead of the one she identifies with. It comes weeks after President Trump signed an executive order declaring America will only recognize male and female genders.

Hunter Schafer, a prominent trans actress and model, warned TikTok followers against complacency, saying her passport sex had been changed to "male."

Actress Hunter Schafer says the listed gender on her passport has been changed. Schafer, who is transgender, opened up about the incident in a recent TikTok video where she explained that after receiving a new passport, her gender had been changed from female to male.

Transgender actor Hunter Schafer says she was 'shocked' upon learning her new passport, issued under the Trump administration, incorrectly identifies her.

Hunter Schafer is detailing her “harsh reality check” amid the Trump administration. After being inaugurated for his non-consecutive second term, on January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that, in part, declared that only two genders will recognized by the United States, male and female as assigned at birth.
