This tie, found in a thrift store, is made of 100% silk and decorated with hand-embroidered embroidery. "Protect the Dolls" is a slogan and movement in support of transgender women, which gained popularity 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 affection 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.
