Overview

• Pedro Pascal wore the 'Protect the Dolls' T-shirt at the London premiere of Marvel's Thunderbolts on April 22, spotlighting transgender rights and solidarity.
• The T-shirt, designed by Conner Ives and debuted at London Fashion Week in February, has raised over $250,000 for Trans Lifeline through sales and preorders.
• The campaign's message supports transgender women, affectionately referred to as 'dolls' within the LGBTQIA+ community, during a period of increasing anti-trans policies in the U.K.
• Pascal's advocacy is deeply personal, as his sister Lux Pascal, a transgender actress and activist, came out in 2021.
• The U.K. Supreme Court's April 16 ruling defining a woman by biological sex underscores the urgency of campaigns like 'Protect the Dolls.'
