This thrifted tie is made of 100% silk and features hand-embroidered embroidery. "Protect the Dolls" is a slogan and movement in support of transgender women, which became popular thanks to a t-shirt created by fashion designer Conner Ives. The slogan is a call for the protection of this community, which often faces discrimination and violence. The term "dolls" is a term of endearment used in ballroom culture and the LGBTQ+ community to refer to trans women, and the t-shirt has become a symbol of solidarity and visibility.
