Pedro Pascal's Viral Post In Support Of Trans Rights Has Fans Cheering—And MAGA Fuming

The Gladiator II star took to Instagram to share a fiery message in support of trans rights, setting off his conservative fans.

Pedro Pascal went viral for posting his solidarity with the trans community—and made his MAGA fans enraged.

The 49-year-old Chilean-American actor is known for starring in male-dominated television series in such roles as Din Djarin in The Mandalorian, Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones, Joel Miller in The Last of Us, and the epic action film Gladiator II as General Acacius.


While he epically battles nefarious adversaries or flesh-eating zombies onscreen, Pascal is as humble an actor as they come, offscreen.

But when he posted a photo that best conveyed his advocacy for the trans community, he gained more respect from fans, except the ones who don't align with Pascal's outright support of the marginalized community.

Over the weekend, Pascal posted a photo of a sign plastered on a building facade with the written words in all caps:

"A WORLD WITHOUT TRANS PEOPLE HAS NEVER EXISTED AND NEVER WILL."


The trans community was recently targeted by Republican President Donald Trump's administration when Trump signed a transphobic executive order requiring the federal government to only recognize two sexes, male and female, in official documents such as passports and visas.

The executive order also broadly dismantles government diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives previously instituted by former Democratic President Joe Biden that protected against sex-based discrimination.

Pascal elaborated on his pro-trans stance in the comments section of his post, writing:

"I can’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."

Conservatives in an uproar over the actor's perceived audacity promptly unfollowed him.

Pascal has been a known ally for the LGBTQ+ community, especially the trans community.

For 2020 Pride, Pascal posted his support for the Black trans community, who are often targeted violently in the US and around the world.

He shared a graphic illustration of Sesame Street's Bert carrying a transgender pride banner and Ernie holding a "Black Trans Lives Matter" sign.


Pascal also has a trans sister, Lux Pascal, who came out as transgender in the Chilean magazine Ya in 2021.

The actor shared a photo of the magazine's cover featuring Lux and wrote in the caption, “My sister, my heart, our Lux," translated from Spanish.

In the cover story, Lux said of her brother, “He 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.”

For his next big project, Pascal will play Reed Richards, a.k.a. Mister Fantastic, in the new Fantastic Four reboot, which will be one of the first films in Phase 6 of the MCU.

The superhero film will also star Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (the Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (the Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (the Thing).

It is slated for a July 25, 2025 release.

Awkward Typo In Elon Musk's Bizarre 'Education Department' Trump Meme Is A Total Self-Own

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.

Polling indicates that eliminating the Education Department is largely unpopular, with 60% of registered voters opposing the move, according to a Quinnipiac University survey conducted March 6-10. Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
