Trans influencer in meltdown over major passport change after Trump executive order

A transgender influencer has revealed that the gender marker on her new passport has been reverted to male - despite the fact she has undergone a full sex change. Zaya Perysian took to Instagram and TikTok to confirm that she had received her new US passport with a 'big ugly M' in it following various rulings made by President Donald Trump's administration. In the video, which was captioned 'and so it's begun,' Zaya was dressed in a low-cut red tank top as she addressed her 285,000 Instagram fans and 4.9 million followers on TikTok.

'In case you're wondering what it's like being transgender under this new administration, I just got my new passport in the mail and they changed the gender to male because of Donald Trump,' she began. Zaya then gave viewers a close up of her passport photo and screamed before showing confirmation that her gender is now marked as male. She then continued: 'Now mind you, all of my other documents are updated to female and I've been fully, surgically updated to female, but this is what they had to say, "The sex was corrected on your passport application. The changes were made for one of the following reasons, to match our record.".

'I had a passport when I was a kid that I used once. So, basically it doesn't matter that all my other documents say female and that I've had my sex change surgery. 'If you've had a passport in the past that displays the opposite sex, then they will not honor your gender change,' Zaya claimed. Transgender influencer Zaya Perysian has revealed that her new US passport states she is a male instead of female.

In a video posted on Instagram and TikTok, Zaya explained that she isn't scared and will be 'seeking legal action'. She went on to reveal that she will be 'seeking legal action,' and argued: 'Because look, I am an adult and I have undergone my full medical transition. There is nothing about me anymore that represents male, on the exterior, whatsoever. 'The only thing that them denying to put female on my passport does is put me in danger while traveling, that's all it does. I'm in danger now!' she added.

'They are only doing this to scare people like me because they don't want us in public life, they want us to hide in fear and be scared of them. 'But trust me, I'm not going anywhere. Trans people have been here and we're staying here and I will fight this,' Zaya promised. 'I'm not scared, I'm not gonna cry. I can still leave the country if I need to, but this saying male is crazy,' she said, pointing to her new passport.

'This is a direct violation of my rights as an American citizen under the equal rights amendment - it's just a violation of my rights in general. 'I submitted a passport application that was intended to update my gender marker to female. That exact application is still available on the website to update your gender, y'all will honor it, trust. 'This is only the beginning babe, y'all done pissed of the wrong transformer!' she then warned.

An executive order from President Donald Trump called for federal agencies to wipe out any acknowledgement of transgender people, intersex people and nonbinary people. Zaya confirmed that she has undergone sex change surgery and said: 'There is nothing about me anymore that represents male'. Zaya's followers were quick to comment on the video as one person wrote: 'This is horrible!!! I’m so sorry this happened.'.

A second said, 'This is so dehumanizing I'm so sorry babe,' and a third commented: 'This is just ridiculous, I'm so sorry for you.'. A fourth person added: 'This is actually insane and honestly super dangerous. Like imagine the amount of questioning you're gonna have to go through if you are farther into transition.'. An executive order from President Trump called for federal agencies to wipe out any acknowledgement of transgender people, intersex people and nonbinary people, in everything ranging from anti-bullying guides for schools, to federal identification documents.

Last month, Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered the State Department to freeze all applications for passports labeling their gender as 'X,' in the latest attempt to reverse government options for individuals who consider themselves gender-fluid. Rubio insisted that a person's 'sex' and not 'gender' should be used in official government documents, including passports and consular reports of birth abroad documents.
