Gender is a social construct, but not to the Trump administration.
While Schafer was biologically born male, she has been actively living as a woman since her teenage years.
The reason Schafer had to get another passport was because hers was stolen when she was filming in Barcelona.
She filled it out as female, but it had been changed to male when she received it.
“It doesn’t really change anything about me or my transness.
However, it does make life a little harder.
“She has dealt with tragedy in her life, and this change is just the latest setback.
“I’m never going to stop being trans.
Basically, whichever gender you are assigned at birth is what legally must go on your passport.
However, none of those things prevented her from avoiding the Trump administration’s executive order.
It seems like the Trump administration needs a refresher onthe right language to use for discussing gender.
One comment on Schafer’s video said it best: “Don’t worry girl.
It’s M for Mujer (woman in Spanish).”
