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.
Prior to this news, I had no idea who she was. And now, thanks to all the cowardly conservatives- I’m hoping that like me, others are being made aware of- and have been given additional reason to support the LGBTQ+ more than ever before.
Let’s do what we can to ensure this shit backfires fabulously in their smug faces.
