The viral trans rights T-shirt: why Pedro and Lux Pascal and Tilda Swinton are in 'Protect The Dolls' tees

US actor Pedro Pascal made a statement as he stepped onto the Leicester Square red carpet for Marvel film Thunderbolts on Tuesday evening.

Joining his co-star Florence Pugh, Pascal donned a white T-shirt which read “Protect The Dolls”. The slogan T-shirt, which has become a celebrity favourite this month also seen on Tilda Swinton, Lisa Rinna and Troye Sivan, was designed by American born, London based fashion designer Conner Ives, and is a call to arms to protect transgender people who are colloquially referred to as “dolls” by some in the LGBTQ+ community.
