“I will never stop being trans. F – this administration ‘

“Euphoria” star Hunter Schafer has posted a video in her Tikok story, in which she revealed that her renewed passport lumed her gender as a male after Donald Trump’s executive regulation is explained that the government will only recognize two genders: male and female. Schafer is one of the most famous trans actors in Hollywood, thanks to her roles in HBOs “Euphoria”, “The Hunger Games: The Ballade of Songbirds and Snakes” and Amazon’s upcoming “Blade Runner 2099”.

“I am sure that most of us remember me, the first day of Trump’s presidency, he signed an executive order to explain only two genders recognized by the state who were assigned at birth,” said Schafer in the video . “As a result, the Bureau of Consular Affairs frozen passes in which I want to do it right. “”

More of variety

Schafer admitted that she initially doubted that such a policy would be able to deal with because “our president is a lot of conversation … and today I saw it on my new pass: male.”

“To indicate, my gender markings were first changed in my teenagers when I first received my driver’s license and then the following passes have been female since then,” said Schafer. “Wasn’t really a problem. When I filmed in Barcelona last year, however, our car was broken in and my bag was stolen and it was my passport, which should take me until my 30s. So I got an emergency pass that was very simple at that time. It is basically just a copy of my old pass, but temporarily and should only be used within the year. As soon as I returned to the states, I had to repair it and have it replaced by a real, proper passport that I visited to the Federal Pass Agency in LA today. I had to do that once, no part of the process was different. I filled out everything as I would normally do, I put female, and when it was picked up today and I opened it, they had changed the marker in male. “

Schafer said that she spoke out about the matter not to “create a drama or to maintain comfort”, but because it is worth mentioning, “the reality of the situation, insofar as it actually happens. And I was shocked because I didn’t know, I just didn’t think it would actually happen. “

“I had never changed my birth certificate. This led me to the conviction that I think that the processing is concerned, but this is the first time that this happened to me since I changed my sex marker, ”said Schafer. “We are now coming to a decade or something. And I think it is a direct result of the administration under which our country is currently working. And I think I’m just a kind of fear of how this stuff is slowly implemented. “

Schafer continued: “I also want to say that I don’t shit that you put an M on my passport. It doesn’t really change anything about me or my transness, but it makes life a little more difficult. Personally, I think I haven’t tested it yet. I will find out next week when I have to travel abroad with my new passport, but I am pretty sure that it will come with it when I have to get out of myself to like boundaries to like patrol agents and this whole appearance much more than I want or really necessary. And this is only my personal circumstances and thinking about other trans women who could also happen, or other translations, the list only becomes longer when it comes to the subtleties that go hand in hand with the difficulty that brings this into real life. “”

“Transpers are beautiful,” Schloss Schloss. “We will never stop to exist, I will never stop being trans, a letter on a passport cannot change that. And fuck this administration. I have no answer to what to do about it, but I think it was important to share it. This is real. So um yes, damn it. “

Schafer repeats her role of Jules in the upcoming third season of HBOS “Euphoria”, which is now in Produciton. She campaigned for transit rights throughout her career and was also honest in interviews in order to avert the public’s focus from her gender identity. Simply put, Schafer does not want her identity to be the only topic of conversation about her. She even avoided saying the word “trans” while the interviews.

“It didn’t happen in a natural way. If I allowed it, there would still be “transsexual actress” before each article, Schafer explained to the GQ Magazine last year. “It took a while until I learned that I didn’t want to be (reduced) and me In the end I find it humiliating. Am my transition beyond these really hard points, and now I just want to be a girl and finally continue.
