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.

The 'Euphoria' actor said she was making the video not to 'fearmonger or create drama or receive consolation,' but to note the reality of the situation.

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.

Schafer, who has had her gender listed as female on government identification since she was a teen, said her new passport would make life "harder." The Euphoria star said it means she would have to "out" herself to border agents.

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

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.

I was shocked because I just didn’t think it was actually going to happen,' Schafer said of the passport change.

Actor Hunter Schafer is speaking out after she says she had to get a passport that had the gender she was assigned at birth instead of the one she identifies with. It comes weeks after President Trump signed an executive order declaring America will only recognize male and female genders.

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.
