Hunter Schafer doesn’t want people commenting on her gender identity anymore. What’s more, the “Euphoria” actress said she has turned down many transgender roles so she could build a career where her gender identity isn’t a subject of discussion.
In her new GQ cover story, the star stressed that she tries to avoid saying the word “trans” in interviews so people can focus solely on her work.
“As soon as I say it, it gets blastoff,” the 25-year-old actress and model said. “It took a while to learn that, and it also took a while to learn that I don’t want to be [reduced to] that, and I find it ultimately demeaning to me and what I want to do.”
