By April 24th, the author had received backlash for sharing X's drinks, cigars and photos of the celebration. She tackled criticism on social media, writing, “If you knew that smoking cigars makes abuse angry, there were six.”

Pascal doubled his support for the trans community with the film's premiere in London for the launch of Thunderbolts on April 22nd.

He wore a T-shirt on the front recording a statement saying “protecting the doll” while posing on the red carpet for a new Marvel movie.

The t-shirt is designed by Conor Ives, and the slogan is a show of solidarity with trans women. Trans women are lovingly referred to as “dolls” in the LGBTQ2+ community.

Trend now

According to Ives' website, proceeds from the sale of T-shirts are donated to Trans Lifeline. Trans Lifeline is a trans-led, US-based charity that provides support to trans people in crisis.

Pascal is a vocal supporter for the transgender community and spoke about her younger sister Lux Pascal, who was published as a transgender person in February 2021.

Lux interviewed Chilean magazine YA in 2021, when her brother shared the magazine's cover on Instagram, writing “Mi Hermana, Mi Corazón, Neustra Lux” and translated into “My Sister, My Heart, Our Lux.”

Lux previously appeared as a non-binary, but in an interview she revealed that she was in the process of transition for a year. In an interview, she praised the Narcos actor for his support during the transition.

“(He) was an important part of this. He is also an artist and also serves as a guide for me. He was one of the first to give him the tools to start shaping my identity,” she said of her brother. “Moving the world as a woman is much easier for me. But I still assert non-binary identity to have space in society.”

Lux recalled that he came out to her brother during FaceTime Call.

“(He) remembers that he was a bit worried, so I asked me how he felt,” she recalled. When she said she was happy, her brother said, “Perfect, this is incredible.”

In an interview with Esquire in 2023, Pascal said his sister was “one of the most powerful people and characters I've ever known.”

He also said, “The protective side is fatal, but I need her more than she needs me.”
