Hunter Schafer announced in an 8+ min video that her new passport misgenders her, presumably because of Trump's announcement that the US govt only recognize gender as assigned at birth. she (rightly) connects it to fascist history, like Nazis burning the Institute of Sexology in 1933 @teenvogue.com
