\n\tHunter Schafer<\/a> has revealed that she underwent bottom surgery.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Euphoria actress, who has become a role model for the trans community, opened up during a recent interview with Elle magazine<\/a>. \u201cI just had bottom surgery in December, which was amazing, and I love it so much,\u201d she shared, referring to the gender-affirming procedure that changes a person\u2019s genitals to better align with their gender identity.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor a long time I\u2019ve embraced the gender-expansive part of myself, and I really wanted to try to make that previous body work, because I thought there was something really cool and badass about it,\u201d Schafer explained. However, she described \u201chitting a wall again and again where this theoretical queer utopia didn\u2019t match up with the world she encountered every day, and the way she personally wanted to show up in it,\u201d Elle wrote.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing her surgery in December, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes actress\u2019 recovery stretched into early 2026. Since she was forced to lie down during that period, she recalled renting out a big apartment where loved ones could visit.<\/p>\n

\n\tThroughout her journey with gender identity, Schafer admitted she\u2019s wrestled with queerness as an idea and philosophy \u201cversus how it applies and works in real life, in the context of the world that we\u2019re living in<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut she also described the evolution of queerness as a \u201cmagical thing,\u201d adding, \u201cOn an ideological level, it\u2019s about possibility and expansion and growth, and being on that journey and finding yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Schafer\u2019s perspective on gender identity has been more fluid over the years, she told Elle that her current views have landed somewhere \u201cflatter.\u201d She said, \u201cI\u2019m a woman. I\u2019m a girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mother Mary actress previously said she\u2019s been hesitant to say the word \u201ctrans\u201d<\/a> in interviews because she doesn\u2019t want to be reduced to her gender identity.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI 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,\u201d she told GQ in 2024. \u201cI\u2019ve gotten offered tons of trans roles, and I just don\u2019t want to do it. I don\u2019t want to talk about it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hunter Schafer has revealed that she underwent bottom surgery.
