Actor Hunter Schafer slams Trump after claiming that her passport lists her as male
Digital Desk: Hunter Schafer, a transgender actor who rose to stardom after appearing in the HBO hit program 'Euphoria,' stated that her new passport identified her sex as "male" due to a recent policy change implemented by the Donald Trump administration. In a viral TikTok video, Schafer declared that she was "never going to stop being trans" while criticizing the new policy that recognizes a person's gender as male or female.
Hunter Schafer reveals that her new passport now lists her sex as male instead of female, following Trump’s instatement:

Schafer, 26, recently lost her passport and went through the process of replacing it. However, when she received her new passport this week, the gender marking was incorrect.
The 'Euphoria' star claimed she chose 'female' as her gender when filling out the passport application. She further stated that her prior passport and driver's license indicated her gender as 'female'.
Schafer, however, claimed that she was unconcerned about the gender change on her passport, although anticipating difficulties at the airport when traveling abroad.
Last month, President Trump signed an executive order stating that the sex assigned at birth will determine gender markers on newly issued passports and that the federal government will only recognize "two sexes, male and female."
Former President Joe Biden allowed Americans to pick "X" on their passports beginning in April 2022.
