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.

    he lack of pushback from anyone else in power

    The people are in power. The elected officials are there at your will. They only have power because you give it to them to work on your behalf. Now the time has come that they’re not doing that. At all. The people need to reclaim that power and use it themselves. It’s time for mass protests and marches and strikes.

    The longer you wait the more rights you’ll lose and the more difficult it will be.
