Hunter Schafer reveals why she rejected ‘tons’ of trans roles

Hunter Schafer has revealed that she no longer wants to play transgender characters.

In an interview with GQ, the 25-year-old star, who rose to fame for her  trans role in Euphoria, shared that being labelled a “trans actress” was “ultimately demeaning to me and what I want to do.”

“I’ve been offered tons of trans roles, and I just don’t want to do it. I don’t want to talk about it,” said Hunter.

She further shared, “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.”

“But ultimately, I really do believe that not making it the centrepiece to what I’m doing will allow me to get further,” Hunter continued.

“And I think getting further and doing awesome [work], in the interest of ‘the movement,’ will be way more helpful than talking about it all the time,” she added.
