Protect the Dolls, usually stylized in all caps, is a slogan in support of transgender women that was taken from the 1980s Ballroom scene and introduced on a viral white T-shirt by American fashion designer Conner Ives. Ives came up with the phrasing the night before his show, and it has since become a phrase adapted by the wider LGBTQIA+ community.
