Protect The Dolls - Limited Edition Fundraising crop teeProtect The Dolls - trans pride enamel pin

Protect the Dolls is a popular phrase originating from 1980s ballroom culture, where ā€œdollsā€ was an affectionate term for trans women, especially Black and Latina trans women. It was a way of affirming femininity and community in queer spaces.

Protect The Dolls came into mainstream visibility in 2025 when designer Conner Ives put it on a white T-shirt and wore it at London Fashion Week. The shirt spread quickly through celebrity support and social media, turning the phrase into a public symbol of trans solidarity.

T-shirts designs are hand printed in our living room with the option to be shipped within Australia with tracking or collected at two Brisbane locations options:

Free Pick Up is available at GAY SKATE events or at Brisbane City Skate in Milton
