The viral 'Protect The Dolls' t-shirt has raised over $600k for Trans Lifeline. The t-shirt, designed by Connor Ives, was announced in February. By April it had raised $70k in preorders. As of September 2025 the shirt has raised nearly 10 times more than that figure. Taking to Instagram, designer Ives said: "I have never been more proud of my team, the supporters of this wider movement, and the countless people that bought this tee," "This t-shirt has changed my life, and I’m hoping it will in due course change so many others." Kai Alivar Horton, Executive Director of Trans Lifeline said: "Since February 26, we have raised and donated over $600,000 so far to Trans Lifeline from the sale of the "Protect the Dolls" t-shirts," "This money will be used by Trans Lifeline to fund their lite-saving services, as well as mobilizing funds through micro-grants to trans people all over the United States for the first time since 2023." #ProtectTheDolls #TransNews #TransAlly #LGBTQNews #ConnorI...
