女演员亨特·斯查费说她护照上的性别已经被更改了。
变性者斯查费在最近的一次采访中公开了这件事抖音视频她解释说,在拿到新护照后,她的性别从女性变成了男性。
她在视频中解释唐纳德·特朗普总统1月20日的讲话时说:“我今天接受了一次严酷的现实检查。”美国总统之行政命令声明美国政府只承认一个人出生时的生物性别。该命令还撤销了2022年拜登时代的一项规定,国务院在该规定中允许人们申请美国护照选择“X”来标记他们的性别.
斯查费还提到了特朗普行政命令下的国务院领事事务局政策,哪个州部分内容是:“我们将不再签发带有X标记的美国护照或国外出生领事报告(CRBAs)。我们只会签发带有与客户出生时的生物性别相匹配的M或F性别标记的护照。”
斯查费在展示新护照的视频中说:“我对此的第一反应是,因为我们的总统话很多,就像是,‘当我看到它时,我才会相信’,今天,我在我的新护照上看到了它。”。
斯查费说,她十几岁拿到驾照后,护照上的性别标记第一次被标记为女性。她说,从那以后,她所有的护照上都把自己的性别列为女性。根据斯查费的说法,直到现在,这种变化“还不是一个真正的问题”。
这位《欣快症》的女演员说她的护照在巴塞罗那拍摄时被偷了,之后她得到了一个临时护照。
“我一回到美国,就必须把它修好,换一本真正的、合适的护照,我今天去了洛杉矶的联邦护照代理处,照做了。我以前也做过一次。这一过程没有任何不同。我像往常一样填好了所有的东西。我写的是雌性,当我今天把它捡起来打开时,他们把标记改成了雄性,”她说。
斯查费继续说,“我写这个帖子不是为了制造恐慌,也不是为了制造戏剧性事件或寻求安慰。我不需要它,但我确实认为它值得张贴出来,以记录这种情况的现实,以及它实际上正在发生。”
她说她对这个结果感到“震惊”。
斯查费在视频中说,她从未更改过出生证明上的性别。她还说,她想承认自己作为白人名人的特权,能够坚持当代的美丽标准。
“我确实相信这是我们国家目前管理的直接结果,我想我只是有点害怕这种东西慢慢得到实施的方式,”她说。
“有很多谈论,然后事情开始发生,我们开始正常化我们所处的环境。我只是觉得重要的是要分享这不只是说说而已,这是真实的,它正在发生,没有人,无论他们的情况如何,无论多么富有或白人或漂亮或什么,都被排除在外,”斯查费补充说。

她说新的护照标记不会改变她的身份。
“我不会给一个f,他们把一个M放在我的护照上。这并没有改变我或我的变性。然而,这确实让生活变得更艰难了,”她说。
斯查费表示,下周她将首次带着新护照出国旅行,并表示她怀疑新的性别标记将导致她不得不“比我希望或真正必要的更频繁地”向边境巡逻人员和其他人暴露自己的情况
“我只想说跨性别者很美。我们永远不会停止存在。我永远不会停止变性。一封信和一本护照不能改变这一点,”她说。
“我真的不知道该怎么做,但我觉得分享这是真的很重要,”她补充道。
美国国务院告诉ABC新闻,由于隐私法和限制,它不评论具体案件。国务院发言人提到了行政命令,称美国的政策是只承认两种性别,文件必须与总统1月命令中定义的申请人的性别相匹配。
这位发言人说,以前签发的带有X标记的护照将在到期前保持有效,或者持有X护照的个人可以免费更换为列出出生时性别的护照,如果护照是在不到一年前签发的。
本月早些时候,七个人提交了一份联邦诉讼挑战特朗普的行政命令,宣布美国政府将只承认政府颁发的文件上一个人出生时分配的性别。
ABC新闻已经联系了斯查费和美国海关和边境保护局的代表进行评论。
Hunter Schafer says her passport gender was changed: 'Never gonna stop being trans'
ActressHunter Schafersays the listed gender on her passport has been changed.
Schafer, who is transgender, opened up about the incident in a recentTikTok videowhere she explained that after receiving a new passport, her gender had been changed from female to male.
"I had a bit of a harsh reality check today," she says in the video, explaining President Donald Trump's Jan. 20executive orderstating the United States government will only recognize a person's biological sex at birth. The order also revoked a 2022 Biden-era rule in which the Department of State made it possible for people applying for American passportsto select "X" to mark their gender.
Schafer also referenced the State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs policy under Trump's executive order,which states, in part: "We will no longer issue U.S. passports or Consular Reports of Birth Abroad (CRBAs) with an X marker. We will only issue passports with an M or F sex marker that match the customer's biological sex at birth."
"My initial reaction to this, because our president is a lot of talk, was like, 'I'll believe it when I see it,' and today, I saw it on my new passport," Schafer says in the video, showing the new passport.
Schafer said her passport gender marker was first marked as female after she received her driver's license in her teens. She said all her passports since have had her gender listed as female. According to Schafer, the change "hasn't really been a problem" until now.
The "Euphoria" actress said her passport was stolen while she was filming in Barcelona, after which she was given a temporary passport.
"As soon as I got back to the States, I had to get this fixed and get it replaced with a real, proper passport, which I went to the Federal Passport Agency today in LA and did. I've had to do this one time before. No part of the process was different. I filled everything out just like I normally would. I put female, and when it was picked up today and I opened it up, they had changed the marker to male," she said.
Schafer continued, "I'm not making this post to fearmonger or to create drama or receive consolation. I don't need it, but I do think it's worth posting to sort of note the reality of the situation and that it is actually happening."
She said she was "shocked" at the outcome.
Schafer said in the video that she never had her gender changed on her birth certificate. She also said she wanted to acknowledge her privilege as a white celebrity who can adhere to contemporary beauty standards.
"I do believe it is a direct result of the administration our country is currently operating under, and I guess I'm just sort of scared of the way this stuff slowly gets implemented," she said.
"There's a lot of talk, and then things start happening, and we start to normalize the circumstances we're under. And I just feel like it's important to share that it's not just talk, that this is real, and it's happening and no one, no matter their circumstance, no matter how wealthy or white or pretty or whatever, is excluded," Schafer added.

She said the new passport marker would not change anything about her identity.
"I don't go give a f--- that they put an M on my passport. It doesn't change really anything about me or my transness. However, it does make life a little harder," she said.
Schafer said she would be traveling abroad for the first time with her new passport next week, and said she suspects the new gender marker will create situations where she'll have to out herself to Border Patrol agents and others "more often than I would like to or is really necessary."
"I just want to say trans people are beautiful. We are never going to stop existing. I'm never gonna stop being trans. A letter and a passport can't change that," she said.
"I don't really have an answer on what to do about this, but I feel it was important to share this is real," she added.
The State Department told ABC News it doesn't comment on specific cases due to privacy laws and restrictions. A State Department spokesperson referred to the executive order stating it's U.S. policy to acknowledge only two sexes, and that documents must match the applicant's sex as defined in the president's January order.
Passports previously issued with an X marker will remain valid until their expiration, or individuals holding an X passport can get theirs replaced for free with one that lists their sex assigned at birth if the passport was issued less than a year ago, according to the spokesperson.
Earlier this month, seven people filed afederal lawsuitchallenging Trump's executive order declaring the U.S. government would only recognize a person's sex assigned at birth on government-issued documents.
ABC News has reached out to representatives for Schafer and U.S. Customs and Border Protection for comment.
