Hunter Schafer, known for her roles in “Euphoria” and “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” has revealed a significant issue with her passport. After losing her passport in a car burglary in Barcelona, she applied for a replacement. Despite correctly indicating her gender as female, the new passport arrived with an M gender marker. This change stems from an executive order by former President Donald Trump, which mandates federal agencies to recognize only male and female genders, based on birth assignment. This order has effectively frozen passport applications for transgender individuals, impacting their ability to travel without being outed. Schafer, who has always had an F on her documents, noted this discrepancy might be due to her unamended birth certificate. Her experience underscores the broader challenges faced by transgender Americans, particularly those less privileged, under this policy.
