Taking to TikTok, the 26-year-old shared an eight-minute video on her story, telling fans: ‘I’m sure most of us remember on the first day of Trump’s presidency, he signed an executive order to declare only two genders recognized by the state, male and female assigned at birth.
Hunter Schafer has revealed that she was misgendered in her new passport, weeks after after President Donald Trump caused outrage with his executive orders.
After showing her passport to the camera, Schafer said that her original document was stolen while filming for a project in Barcelona last year, and she got an emergency passport at the time, before fixing this when she returned to the US.
Trump’s executive orders were made in the first few days of his presidency, and have continued to spark outrage from the public, as well as stars in Hollywood – Madonna and Selena Gomez are among those who have vocally opposed some his latest policies.
