  We describe the chiral quark model evaluation of the transversity Generalized
Parton Distributions (tGPDs) and related transversity form factors (tFFs) of
the pion. The obtained tGPDs satisfy all necessary formal requirements, such as
the proper support, normalization, and polynomiality. The lowest tFFs, after
the necessary QCD evolution, compare favorably to the recent lattice QCD
determination. Thus the transversity observables of the pion support once again
the fact that the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry governs the structure of
the Goldstone pion. The proper QCD evolution is crucial in these studies.
