Euphoria star Hunter Schafer has shared that her gender has been changed to male on her new passport against her will.

On President Donald Trump's first day back in the Oval Office (January 20), he signed an executive order titled 'Defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government'.

It meant that the trans community would no longer be recognized by the state and that all newly printed passports will reflect the change - much to the bemusement of 26-year-old Schafer, who has had female gender markers on her documents for the last 10 years.

Taking to TikTok, she shared how she lost her passport and so began the application for a new one.

"Last year, when I was filming in Barcelona, our car got broken into, and my bag got stolen, and inside of that was my passport, which was supposed to last me like, you know, up until my 30s, and so I got an emergency passport, which was very simple at the time," she explained.

"It's basically just a copy of my old passport, but temporary and only supposed to be used within the year. So 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."

Schafer, who played Tigris in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, told fans of her shock - believing Trump's attack on the transgender community was 'all talk'

She continued: "I never had my birth certificate changed. So this has led me to believe that I think the agencies who are in charge of passports and this sort of thing are now required to cross reference birth certificates, or, I don't know exactly what or what changed, as far as the processing goes.

"But this is the first time this has happened to me since I changed my gender marker. We're coming up on a decade now, or something, and I do believe it is a direct result of the administration our country is currently operating under."

The Euphoria star, who played Jules Vaughn in the show, went on to compare the Trump administration to that of a fascist movement before stating that she was 'scared' of what is to come.

Before explaining that her passport identifying her as a male doesn't bother her, other than the unnecessary conversations she predicts having with border patrol agents about it.

"It doesn't change really anything about me or my transness. However, it does make life a little harder," Schafer said.

"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, and f**k this administration."
