‘Euphoria’ Star Hunter Schafer Refuses to Take ‘Demeaning’ Trans Roles, Demands to Play Real Women Instead
Euphoria star Hunter Schafer has declared that he no longer wants to take transgender roles and expects to be cast as a biological woman moving forward.
Schafer said in an interview with GQ magazine that he found being offered such roles a “privilege” but at the same time very “demeaning” to his transgender identity:
I worked so hard to get to where I am, past these really hard points in my transition, and now I just want to be a girl and finally move on. It’s a privilege, but it’s been very intentional. 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.
