How Pedro Pascal’s Protect the Dolls T-shirt Is Supporting Trans Women


Pedro Pascal is voicing his support for the transgender community once again. The actor attended the London premiere of Marvel’s “Thunderbolts” on Tuesday, wearing the viral “Protect the Dolls” T-shirt, which he had previously worn on his 50th birthday celebration on April 6.

The T-shirt was created by Conner Ives, who debuted the design while closing out his fall 2025 runway show during London Fashion Week in February. The message written in it, “Protect the Dolls,” shows support to trans women, who are affectionately referred to as “dolls” in the LGBTQIA+ community.

After his show, Ives made the T-shirt available on connerives.com, pledging to donate all proceeds from the sale to the Trans Lifeline, an organization that delivers life-saving services to trans people in the U.S. “Given the U.S. Federal government’s current hostility towards trans people, support like this is needed now more than ever,” Ives wrote on his website.

According to The New York Times, Ives has sold about $252,600 of the T-shirt since its release. He also invested in infrastructure to meet the online demand. The style is out of stock, but shoppers can preorder it at 75 euros (about $99).

Other celebrities, including singer Troye Sivan and fashion designer Haider Ackermann, have also worn the “Protect the Dolls” T-shirt recently.

Pascal has long been a supporter of the trans community. His sister, actress Lux Pascal, came out as a transgender woman in 2021. The actor’s appearance at the “Thunderbolts” premiere comes a week after Britain’s Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of a woman is someone born biologically female. The decision is being highly criticized by trans groups and supporters who believe the ruling would undermine trans rights.
