Adore Delano is outraged over her passport gender marker update denial & we all should be, too
Trans Drag Race icon Adore Delano is furious that she can't get a passport that accurately reflects her female gender amid the Trump administration's anti-trans policy to halt passport applications to Americans whose gender is different than their assigned sex at birth. In a TikTok video posted on Friday morning that is currently going viral, Delano told fans that her name 'is now legally Adore Delano,' but the federal government isn't recognizing her updated gender. 'But it's true you guys, they're not changing my gender federally so my passport will remain male,' Delano said in her TikTok video that has already amassed nearly a million views at the time of publication. 'F—king wild because I travel outside the country for a living. I'm filming my first movie outside of the country this week. So all of my documentation that are federal will remain male,' she said. legally Adore Delano BUT Trans and nonbinary Americans are currently fighting back against President Trump's executive order that directed the State Department to only issue passports that "accurately reflect the holder's sex,' Reuters reports. It was only two months ago that Delano happily posted on Instagram about turning in paperwork to legally change her name and gender after coming out as trans in 2023 and being open about undergoing facial feminization surgery. 'GENDER & NAME PAPERWORK TURNED IN! ……now we wait,' she wrote on Instagram. Delano said she tried everything she could think of to get a new passport with a female gender marker but was told 'that we're like a month-and-a-half to two months too late' and that the option to change your gender marker has already been removed from the Social Security website. 'They're really out here calling us men, girls!' Delano isn't the only trans celebrity who has struggled with getting a passport with the correct gender marker. Euphoria actress Hunter Schafer also made a TikTok video to share her "harsh reality check" that her new passport had a male gender marker. "It's not just talk," Schafer said in the since-deleted video. "This is real. And it's happening. No one, no matter their circumstance, no matter how wealthy or white or pretty or whatever, is excluded. This is real.' Schafer expressed her anger at the Trump administration's new pocky but told fans that it doesn't change her 'transness.' "I don't give a f*ck that they put an 'M' on my passport. It doesn't change really anything about me or my transness,' she explained. 'However, it does make life a little harder. I'm pretty sure it's gonna come along with having to out myself to border patrol agents and that whole gig much more often than I would like to or is really necessary."
