US trans actress Hunter Schafer, known for HBO hit show "Euphoria," has said her passport gender marker was changed to male, slamming the Trump administration which has demonized any recognition of gender diversity.

Schafer blamed the policies of US President Donald Trump for the modification of her gender -- despite having identity documents marked female "coming up on a decade now" -- in a TikTok story published Thursday evening and rebroadcast as a video Friday.&nbsp;
"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, brandishing her passport and explaining she had had to renew the document after it was stolen last year.
Trump in his first days in office declared the country would recognize only two genders -- men and women -- and has targeted transgender people in a slew of other orders.&nbsp;
According to the State Department, under an executive order on what the Trump administration calls "Gender Ideology Extremism," the Bureau of Consular Affairs would stop issuing identification documents with an "X" marker for non-binary people.

"We will only issue passports with an M or F sex marker that match the customer's biological sex at birth," the website says.
Schafer said her gender on her birth certificate hasn't been changed to female, leading her to believe that "the agencies who are in charge of passports... are now required to cross reference birth certificates."
"This is the first time this has happened to me since I changed my gender marker... and I do believe it is a direct result of the administration our country is currently operating under."&nbsp;
She said she was "shocked" to see the "M" on her passport and that she was spurred to post about it to "note the reality of the situation and that it is actually happening."
Despite her concerns, Schafer was defiant.&nbsp;
Trans people "are never going to stop existing. I'm never gonna stop being trans, a letter in a passport can't change that and fuck this administration," the actress in her twenties said, speaking firmly into the camera on her phone.&nbsp;

Euphoria actress calls out Trump govt after passport gender change

Euphoria star Hunter Schafer was arrested in Manhattan as she was among the dozens of protesters outside NBC’s headquarters where US President Joe Biden was present for his appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.&nbsp;

With black flags and demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, hundreds of demonstrators gathered in the lobby area at 30 Rockefeller Plaza earlier this week. The protesters had gathered to call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.&nbsp;

When Hunter Schafer was arrested, she was with the protesters who wore black shirts reading “Ceasefire Now” and “Not in Our Name” while chanting “Let Gaza live” and other slogans. The decibels&nbsp;of each of these chants rose as Joe Biden’s motorcade pulled into the area.&nbsp;

Hunter Schafer wasn’t easily identifiable and much like others in the crowd, she too wore a face mask. At one point amid the whole chaos, she was seen sitting on the floor as others held up a banner behind her reading: “Jews to Biden: Stop Arming Genocide”.

On the arrests, Sonya Meyerson-Knox, of Jewish Voice for Peace, said, “We commend her commitment to Palestinian freedom and to a future of justice for everyone.”

The New York police department has confirmed that 30 people were taken into custody and issued summons for trespassing after the hour-and-a-half-long demonstration. Hunter Schafer and others who were picked up from the protest will be due in court in March.&nbsp;
