Transgender euphoria actress Hunter Schafer has reached the government of Donald Trump after she has learned that her new passport is listing her gender as 'male' instead of 'female' because of the controversial executive order of the president.
Schafer, 26, expressed her shock about the move in a video that was shared on social media, in which she said that the change will make life a little harder.
Although she recognized her privilege, Hunter also expressed her fears for the transgender community, adding that the move will create extra levels of stress when dealing with border control agents.
Starting with her video, Hunter explained that she had had no problems with her gender marker since she had changed it ten years ago.
“I want to acknowledge my privilege, not just as a famous transwoman who is white and thin and can adhere to contemporary beauty standards and I can participate in that everything, and I pass, and it still happens,” she said.
'I never changed my birth certificate, so this has led me to believe that I think the agencies interested in passports are now obliged to cross reference birth certificates.
'I don't know exactly what, or what has changed in distant processing.
'This is the first time this has happened to me since I changed my gender marking. We are now coming for a decade or something. '

Hunter said that she fundamentally does not mean that her sex is being changed in her passport because she is a transgender woman and will always be.
“I also want to say, I don't give ** k that they put an M on my passport,” she went on.
'It doesn't really change anything about me or my transness, but it makes life a little harder.
'Personally, I mean I haven't tested it yet, I'll find out next week when I have to travel abroad with my new passport, but I'm pretty sure of Border Patrol agents and that whole performance much more than me Would like or really needed.
'And this is just my personal circumstance, and thinking of other transvrouwen with whom this could happen, or other transmeners, the list only becomes longer to the tricks associated with the difficulty that this brings in real life S ** t. '
Hunter concluded her video and added: 'Transmensen are beautiful.
'We will never stop existing, I will never stop being trans, a letter on a passport cannot change that.
'And f ** k this administration. I don't really have an answer to what I have to do about this, but I think it's important to share. This is real. So, eh yes, f ** k. '

Many have gathered around Hunter and have offered support, while at the same time evoking the executive Order of Trump.
Writing on X, formerly Twitter, they said, “This is just so unnecessary and heartbreaking.”
Following a similar sentiment, another said: 'I feel so bad for Hunter. Transmensen do not deserve this. '
A third wrote: “My heart goes out to all transmeners … This new change is meaningless … Transmensen will always be visible in this world, whatever happens.”
“I don't understand why people care so much about the gender of another person, how does that influence your daily life?” A fourth added. “Hunter, we love and support you.”
Trump called for federal agencies to wipe out any recognition of transgender people
In January, Trump called for federal agencies to prohibit the mention of transgender people, intersex people and non-this people, in everything ranging from anti-bullying guides for schools to federal identification documents.
Last month, Minister of Foreign Affairs Marco Rubio ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to freeze all applications for passports that label their gender as 'X', in the last attempt to reverse the government options for people who regard themselves as gender fluid.
Rubio insisted that the 'sex' of a person and not 'gender' should be used in official government documents, including passports and consular reports from birth abroad.
President Trump's executive order stated that the existing passports would not make invalid, but should be corrected when they were renewed.
