Hunter Schafer is sharing the personal effects of recent American policies.
After President Donald Trump signed an executive order Jan. 20 requiring government agencies to only recognize citizens by their gender assigned at birth, the Euphoria actress revealed that her new United States passport lists her gender as male.
Schafer—who came out as transgender in the ninth grade—admitted in a Feb. 21 TikTok Story that she was unsure if the policy would even go into effect "because our president is a lot of talk."
"Today, I saw it on my new passport—male," the 26-year-old explained in the video alongside a glimpse of the document. "To specify, my gender marker was first changed in my teens when I first got my driver's license and then my passports following—all have been female since then."
Schafer said that she applied for a new passport after losing hers in Spain last year. Although she said that she marked her gender as female on the application, "when it was picked up today, and I opened it up, the marker was changed to male."
The Cuckoo actress speculated that it may have occurred because her gender was not changed on her birth certificate.
In a statement to E! News, a spokesperson for the State Department shared that "due to privacy laws and restrictions, we do not comment on specific cases."
"The Department is implementing the President's Executive Orders and executing on administration priorities," the representative continued. "We are only issuing U.S. passports with a male or female sex marker that matches the applicant's biological sex as defined in the Executive Order."
Schafer explained that she didn't post her video to "create drama" or "receive consolation" but instead believed it's "worth posting the reality of the situation and that it is actually happening."
However, she also emphasized, "I don't give a f--k that they put an M on my passport."
"It doesn't change really anything about me or my transness," she asserted. "However, it does make life a little harder. I'm pretty sure it's going to have to out myself to Border Patrol agents and that whole gig much more often than I would like to or is really necessary."
Schafer concluded her video with a message of love and support for the transgender community.
"Trans people are beautiful," she said. "We are never going to stop existing. I'm never going to stop being trans. A letter and a passport can't change that. And f--k this administration."
