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.

Schafer said in a candid TikTok video she's concerned she'll have to "out myself" to customs and border patrol agents while traveling abroad

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.

Hunter Schafer, a prominent trans actress and model, warned TikTok followers against complacency, saying her passport sex had been changed to "male."

I just didn’t think it was actually going to happen,” said the “Euphoria” star — who says she listed her sex as female on her application.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Hunter Schafer says “it’s important to just keep track of where things are in our country,” a day after the “Euphoria” star posted a video in which she revealed her new passport had been issued with a male gender marker.

"Euphoria" star Hunter Schafer, who is one of the most prominent transgender woman in Hollywood, revealed Friday that her new passport was issued with a male gender marker against her will.

Trans people are beautiful,” Schafer said in an eight-minute TikTok video. “We are never going to stop existing.”
