Why Hunter Schafer chose gender-affirming surgery
The actress had gender-affirming bottom surgery in December and said it was right for her.
Hunter Schafer, the Euphoria star, had gender-affirming bottom surgery in December and felt it was the right choice. In an Elle magazine interview, Schafer said she had wanted to stay gender-fluid for years.
Schafer reached a point where her identity didn't match how she wanted to show up in the world. Her recovery was slow with strict limits on movement.
Schafer felt very satisfied with the outcome. Schafer has been careful about being called a trans actress.
She wants to be known for her work rather than her identity. She believes getting further in her career will help the community more than constantly talking about her personal choices.
