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.

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.

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.
