“Ridiculous”: ‘Euphoria’ Trans Actress Hunter Schafer Reveals New Passport Lists Her As Male

Hunter Schafer has shared that her sex listed under her passport says “male”

“I want to acknowledge my privilege, not only as a celebrity transwoman who is white and thin and can adhere to contemporary beauty standards and I can participate in all of that, and I pass, and it still happened,” Schafer, 26, said.

“I never had my birth certificate changed, so this has led me to believe that I think the agencies who were interested in passports are now required to cross reference birth certificates.

“I don’t know exactly what, or what changed in far of the processing goes.”

She shared that it’s been about a decade since she changed her “gender marker” and this was the first time an official administration didn’t acknowledge that.

At the end of the day, however, Schafer shared her pride in being a transgender woman and emphasized that a symbol on her passport will not change that.

“I also want to say, I don’t give a f–ck that they put a M on my passport,” she reiterated. “It doesn’t change really anything about me or my transness, however it does make life a little harder.

“Personally, I mean I haven’t tested it out yet, I’ll found out next week when I have to travel abroad with my passport, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to come along with having to out myself to like border patrol agents and that whole gig much more often that I would like to or is really necessary.”
