I read in the online Guardian that a fashion designer called Connor Ives concluded a February runway show with a tee shirt with the message 'Protect the Dolls' on it. The article says that 'dolls' is an affection term for trans women used by the LGBTIQ community. Perhaps I've been on another planet but I've never heard of it - has anyone else? Apparently the tee shirts are selling like the proverbial hot cakes which I guess can't do any harm.

I'd never heard of it either
But here's a link to a YouTube video that explains it.

Happiness is being all dressed up and HAVING some place to go.

... retro term only used in certain venues?
That was its origin in the past, it might catch on more widely now, guess we have to wait and see.

Polar Opposites From The Haters
This is a perfect example of those accepting and those hating. Trump and Musk are set on eradicating transgender from the human genome. Right..., lots of luck as transgender is a division of humanity blessed by God. Although I know so many of my brothers and sisters don't feel it's a special gift.
I love the Tee Shirt symbolism "Protect The Dolls" as it resonates deep in a subconscious level. I believe it has to touch those who haven't a clue as they wonder what it means.
Hugs Bronwen Welsh, what a beautiful uplifting post.

Life is a gift, treasure it until it's time to return it to the one who gave it to you.
