Pedro Pascal's transgender sister has praised the Hollywood actor for his support in helping her embrace who she really is. Lux Pascal has given an insight into her brother's kind nature and admitted that The Games of Thrones star taught her not to hide who she really is.

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." Lux Pascal, seen her with her sibling in January 2024, came out as trans in 2021 Revealing how she is coping during such an uncertain time for the trans community, Lux told THR: "Maybe it's not a good idea, but I'm focusing in my work. I'm doing stuff, and I want to keep my focus in that, and hopefully the storm will cease. "But I'm grateful, and I'm extremely privileged, and I think that continuing that route will help other people think with more ease. It is a difficult time, and I wish it wasn't as difficult. "I mean, we just went through a pandemic. Can we all just chill for a while and show empathy towards one another? I don't know, maybe I'm too much of a romantic,' she added. Pedro showed his support for the trans community when he wore a 'Protect the dolls' T-shirt to a movie screening on April 22 (Image: WireImage) Her comments come after Pedro stepped out wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the words "Protect the dolls" when he attended a screening of the movie Thunderbolts* in London on April 22. It's well known that the slogan is in support of trans women, with sales of this T-shirt going to the organization Trans Lifeline, which provides emotional support and financial assistance to trans people in the United States. Pedro also showed his unwavering support to the trans community when he slammed Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling as "disgusting" after she praised a UK Supreme Court ruling that stated the term "woman" in the 2010 Equality Act refers only to biological females. The author reportedly helped fund For Women Scotland, the group that brought the case to court. Leaving a comment on a post shared by activist Tariq Ra'ouf, Pascal wrote: "Awful disgusting S--T is exactly right. Heinous LOSER behavior."
