Hunter Schafer Has ‘Gotten Offered Tons of Trans Roles’ but ‘I Just Don’t Want to Do It’ or ‘Talk About It’: ‘I Just Want to Be a Girl and Move On’


Hunter Schafer is turning down trans roles and won't say "trans" in interviews in order not to make her gender identity the focus of her career.

Hunter Schafer said in a new GQ cover story that she has been strategic in trying to shift the public’s focus away from her gender identity as a transgender person. “I know for a fact that I’m one of the most famous trans people in media right now, and I do feel a sense of responsibility, and maybe a little bit of guilt, for not being more of a spokesperson,” Schafer concluded. Schafer’s first acting role was Jules in “Euphoria,” the Emmy-winning HBO series that served as her breakthrough.
