"Due to high demand for the t-shirt, it was put up for sale and proceeds went to Trans Lifeline, a peer support and crisis hotline offering help to trans people in the United States and Canada. The photograph of Tennant in the shirt was taken at his "An Evening With... David Tennant" event in Edinburgh in December whilst the image of Pascal was snapped at the UK premiere of Thunderbolts in April 2025."
""People who are confident in their masculinity and femininity protect those who can't protect themselves, and stand up for people who are ostracized for simply being who they are. David Tenant and Pedro Pascal make it easy to look up to them because they effortlessly believe in what they say. Protect the Dolls," one fan commented. "Y'all make my queer nerdy heart go pitter patter," a second said."
David Tennant described trans allyship as "decent man behaviour" and posted photos wearing "Protect The Dolls" t-shirts alongside Pedro Pascal. The term "dolls" originated in 1980s ballroom culture and describes feminine trans women and non-binary people. Fashion designer Conner Ives created the slogan t-shirt and debuted it at his Fall 2025 London Fashion Week runway show. High demand led to sales with proceeds donated to Trans Lifeline, a peer support and crisis hotline serving trans people in the United States and Canada. Tennant's photo was taken at his Edinburgh event and Pascal's at the UK Thunderbolts premiere, prompting widespread fan praise.
