"David Tennant took to the stage in what appeared to be the same T-shirt on 1 December, but it's definitely not the first time the actor has been seen sporting clothes and accessories that support trans rights. In the lead up to the Doctor Who 60th anniversary in 2023, he appeared on The One Show and The Last Leg, where the Scottish actor was spotted wearing a trans flag themed TARDIS badge as a small act of solidarity with the trans community."
"However, the term's usage has skyrocketed in recent months after The Last of Us actor, Pedro Pascal, was snapped wearing a "Protect The Dolls" T-shirt in April. The tee was designed by Conner Ives, and sells for $75: proceeds from the sale of each shirt go to raise money for Trans Lifeline, a trans-led US- based charity."
"Also in 2023, Tennant took his pro-trans message one step further during the press run for Good Omens season two. In a viral image, fans caught a glimpse of him sporting a black T-shirt with a crystal clear pink hued slogan emblazoned on top. "Leave trans kids alone, you absolute freaks.""
David Tennant appeared on stage at the Lyceum Theatre fundraiser on 1 December wearing a "Protect The Dolls" T-shirt. The phrase "dolls" originates from 1980s Ballroom culture and has been used as an informal descriptor for trans women and transfeminine non-binary people. The recent popularity of the slogan followed Pedro Pascal wearing the same design, with proceeds from the shirt supporting Trans Lifeline. Tennant has previously signaled solidarity by wearing a trans-flag TARDIS badge, a black T-shirt with a pro-trans slogan during Good Omens press events, and a non-binary pin at a musical opening night.
