'We are never going to stop existing': Hunter Schafer called out Trump's passport policy on TikTok
Briefly

In a candid TikTok video, Hunter Schafer discussed the harsh reality of transgender rights under the Trump administration after receiving a passport that incorrectly listed her gender as male. This change stemmed from a controversial executive order that mandated the recognition of only two genders on official documents. Schafer emphasized that her intent in sharing the story was not to seek sympathy but to highlight the real consequences of political decisions on individual lives and identities, making it a significant moment for the trans community.
"I had a bit of a harsh reality check today, and felt like it's important to share with whoever is listening," model and actress Hunter Schafer said in an eight-minute video posted on TikTok last week.
Schafer explained that the gender marker on her passport had been changed, a direct consequence of President Donald Trump's January 20 executive order.
"I'm not making this post to fearmonger or to create drama or receive consolation, I don't need it, but I do think it's worth posting to sort of note the reality of the situation and that it is actually happening."
