Summary

Hunter Schafer shared that her newly issued passport incorrectly lists her gender as male, a result of Trump’s executive order requiring federal documents to use sex assigned at birth.

Despite selecting female and having her gender marker changed years ago, the new policy was applied to her application.

Schafer said she wanted to raise awareness rather than cause alarm, emphasizing that trans people will continue to exist regardless of government policies.

“A letter and a passport can’t change that,” she said.

    IMO, we need a bunch of extra manly-looking trans men to protest in women’s restrooms everywhere (if they’re up for it).

    Assigned female at birth, after all…

      I’m game once bathroom laws take effect. I think we need t-shirts that say something like “Trump wants me in the women’s bathroom” to really get the point across. Probably gonna get shot, but fuck it.
