Pedro Pascal is expressing his stance as one of the biggest transgender rights allies on Instagram.

On Feb. 21, 2025, the actor utilized the social media platform to share a pro-trans quote that said, โ€œA world without trans people has never existed and never will.โ€

The comment section revealed a divided audience, with some fans backing the actor while others declared they were โ€œunfollowingโ€ him due to his post.

Pascal reinforced his position through a pinned comment on the post.

โ€œI canโ€™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,โ€ he wrote.

Pascalโ€™s sister, Lux Pascal, disclosed her transgender identity during a 2021 conversation with the Chilean publication Ya magazine.

โ€œFor everyone in my family, my transition has been something very natural. Almost something they were waiting to happen,โ€ she expressed.

Lux Pascal acknowledged her brother Pedroโ€™s unwavering support throughout her journey.

โ€œHe has been an important part of this. He is also an artist and has been a guide. He was one of the first to give me the things that formed my identity,โ€ she revealed.

During an exchange with Esquire, Pedro Pascal briefly discussed his sister. He mentioned he โ€œwouldnโ€™t want to speak on her behalf,โ€ but emphasized his unconditional support.

โ€œShe is and has always been one of the most powerful people and personalities Iโ€™ve ever known,โ€ he stated. โ€œMy protective side is lethal, but I need her more than she needs me.โ€
