By this point, Pedro Pascal is pretty much renowned for being a huge ally to the trans community, with the Hollywood actor regularly going viral for his no-nonsense social media activity.
Back in February, Pedro won widespread praise for using his platform to showcase his support for trans people at a time when they are having their rights stripped away, sharing a supportive message with his 8.8 million Instagram followers.
Posting a photo of a sign that read: "A WORLD WITHOUT TRANS PEOPLE HAS NEVER EXISTED AND NEVER WILL,' Pedro wrote: 'I can't think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist."
Sadly, anti-trans trolls flooded his post with nasty comments, but Pedro doubled down with a series of iconic responses to the haters. When one person wrote: 'You were my favourite actor…. I'm unfollowing you…. Bullshit,' Pedro sarcastically replied: 'nooooooooooo 💅'
'Man you were one of my favorite actors until this… 😔,' somebody else wrote, prompting Pedro to quip: 'that's too bad. Wait, no I don't give a shit.'
More recently, Pedro called out British author J.K. Rowling when he commented on a video about her celebrating the UK Supreme Court's recent ruling that trans women aren't legally women within the context of equality legislation. Referencing Rowling, Pedro wrote: 'Awful disgusting SHIT is exactly right. Heinous LOSER behavior."
Pedro's unwavering and passionate allyship with the trans community is unsurprising considering he has always been hugely supportive of his younger sister, Lux Pascal, who publicly came out as transgender in 2021 in a cover story for the Spanish-language magazine Ya.
In the interview, Lux — who is also an actor — said that her big brother played a pivotal role in her transition 'and has served as a guide' for her. She explained: 'He was one of the first people to gift me the tools that started shaping my identity."
Lux also recalled coming out as trans to Pedro over FaceTime, and how his initial response was to ask how she felt. When she told him that she was happy, Pedro immediately congratulated her, with Lux remembering him telling her: "Perfect, this is incredible.'
Pedro shared Lux's cover story to his Instagram page at the time, writing: 'Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux," which translates to, "my sister, my heart, our Lux,' and when he was asked about her transition in an interview with Esquire, Pedro noted that he wasn't comfortable to 'speak on her behalf,' but made it clear that he will always have her back.
'She is and has always been one of the most powerful people and personalities I've ever known,' he said. 'My protective side is lethal, but I need her more than she needs me.'
And now, Lux has opened up some more about her and Pedro's sweet relationship in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where she said she is 'incredibly proud' of him. She added: 'But the thing is that I've always known that he is a superstar. It's funny because people have been asking me: 'Is he as kind as we think he is?' And I'm like: 'Yes!''
'What makes him so fabulous is that [Pedro] wears all of his humanity on his sleeve, and he doesn't hide who he is,' Lux continued, referring to his public allyship. 'And I think that's refreshing, because usually we move around the world hiding who we are. That's the main lesson I've gotten from him: there's no reason for me to hide who I am, right? And I think people are seeing that.'
Needless to say, Lux's comments have warmed the hearts of Pedro's fans, who discussed the interview on a Reddit forum. One popular comment reads: 'Love how close these siblings are. I hope everyone has someone as supportive as Pedro in their lives.'
Gareth Cattermole /'I absolutely love how Pedro is 1000% ride or die for her and the whole trans community 🏳️‍⚧️💕' somebody else wrote, while one more added: 'What an absolute KING Pedro is.'
Another redditor, who is trans, said that Pedro and Lux's relationship had actually helped her personal relationship with a sibling after she transitioned.
She wrote: 'As a Trans Woman with a Cis brother, I feel like Pedro's openly supportive relationship with Lux has helped mine. Not to say he wasn't supportive, he was but there was definitely a little weirdness still there. After sending him more and more Pedro & Lux videos/articles, he became more open. Hell, even more than pre-transition. We're at the strongest we've ever been and I have to thank Pedro for that ❤️'
