Hunter Schafer, a transgender actress, showcased her new passport on TikTok, which identifies her gender as 'M' despite her identifying as female. This situation is a result of policies implemented by the State Department following Trump's executive order that recognized only male and female gender markers. Schafer, who has had government IDs listing her as female for years, expressed her shock and concern about having to potentially 'out' herself at the airport. Her experience underscores the broader challenges faced by transgender and non-binary individuals navigating identity documentation under recent policy changes.
In a recent TikTok video, Hunter Schafer revealed her new passport that incorrectly lists her gender marker as 'M', highlighting ongoing issues surrounding gender recognition by the State Department.
Schafer expressed disbelief when she saw the 'M' gender marker, stating, 'I was shocked because I didn't think it was actually going to happen'. This demonstrates the tension faced by transgender individuals in navigating government identity processes.
