Vanity Fair,<\/a> his own sister Javiera Balmaceda backed his stance, saying, \u201cBut it is heinous loser behavior. And he said that as the older brother to someone, saying that our little sister doesn\u2019t exist.\u201d Pascal, whose sister Lux Pascal came out as trans in 2021, told the magazine that his drive to defend goes deeper than just family.<\/p>\n\n\t\u201cThe one thing that I would say I agonized over a little bit was just, \u2018Am I helping? Am I fucking helping?\u2019\u201d he said. It\u2019s a situation that deserves the utmost elegance so that something can actually happen, and people will actually be protected. Listen, I want to protect the people I love. But it goes beyond that. Bullies make me fucking sick.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tPascal added that he felt for a moment like \u201cthat kid that got sent to the principal\u2019s office a lot for behavioral issues in public schools in Texas, feeling scared and thinking, What\u2019d I do?\u201d But the principle of his stance outweighed any external anxiety that might have accompanied the online spat.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2023, Pascal told Esquire<\/a> about his connection with Lux, his younger sister. \u201cShe is and has always been one of the most powerful people and personalities I\u2019ve ever known,\u201d he said. \u201cMy protective side is lethal, but I need her more than she needs me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“I want to protect the people I love.
