In a recent interview with Esquire, Pedro Pascal opened up about his younger sister Lux Pascal, who came out as trans in 2021. Lux, who is seventeen years younger than Pedro, has always been a force to be reckoned with. From the moment she was born, she “ruled the household right away,” according to Pedro. He noted that she was strong-willed and determined, traits that have served her well in her journey of self-discovery.
Lux’s coming out as trans was not a surprise to her family, Pedro revealed. In fact, it was almost something they expected to happen. When she told Spanish-language magazine Ya about her transition, she said that Pedro was the most important part of her journey. “My transition has been something that’s very natural for everyone in my family,” she said. “It’s almost something that they expected to happen.”
For Pedro, Lux’s transition is something he supports wholeheartedly. He posted the cover of the Ya magazine on his Instagram, captioning it “Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux” – “my sister, my heart, our Lux.” In the interview with Esquire, he spoke about his protective instincts towards Lux, but also about how much he needs her in his life.
Lux’s journey as a trans person is not an easy one, and Pedro is aware of the challenges that the trans population faces. When asked about how he feels about this moment in time, he said, “I wouldn’t want to speak on her [Lux’s] behalf.” But he also added that she is one of the most powerful people and personalities he’s ever known.
Lux’s story is an inspiring one of acceptance and family love. Her transition has been a natural part of her family’s journey, and she has found support and love from her brother Pedro and her entire family. In a world where the trans population faces so many challenges and obstacles, Lux’s story is a reminder that love and acceptance can conquer all.
