Hunter Schafer says “it’s important to just keep track of where things are in our country,” a day after the “Euphoria” star posted a video in which she revealed her new passport had been issued with a male gender marker.

Hunter Schafer warned her followers that transphobic policies have begun taking effect, revealing her new passport claims she's male.
