Sports Illustrated faces backlash for naming transgender female pop star Kim Petras as swimsuit cover model

Sports Illustrated came under fire on Monday for using Kim Petras, a transgender female pop star, as one of its cover models for the Swimsuit Edition.

It was Petras’ first time on the cover of the Swimsuit Edition. Petras joined Martha Stewart, Megan Fox and Brooks Nader as the other cover models for this year’s magazine.

"There is no theme [to this year’s issue]—rather, there is a vision, a sentiment, a hope that women can live in a world where they feel no limitations, internally or externally," SI Swimsuit Editor-in-Chief MJ Day said. "But the absence of a theme is not to say that [these women] don’t share certain common traits. They’re constantly evolving."

Day said of Petras, "The Grammy-winning pop star, a beacon of inspiration for the LGBTQ+ community, has blazed her own path to superstardom, but it has been anything but a straight line."

However, not everyone was pleased with SI deciding to use Petras as one of its models.

I think it’s more of a cowardice thing. One woke fool at a meeting suggests putting a tranny on the cover. Everyone else present knows how dumb the idea is. But no one will speak up, and risk being called a bigot.

So there you go. A tranny on the cover.

Sports Illustrated kind of mis-gauged their base, when they
took a titillating portion of their magazine and tossed a
man in there to appeal to heterosexual men.

These men are people who view themselves as virile adult
males. The last thing they are ready to view affirmatively
is a bulge or three in the portfolio.

Do these Leftist/Communists have any brains at all?

Well, after all, they can’t really define what a woman is,
so I guess we should expect this sort of thing.

Expect it without me.

Does no one in this entire society care about the well being of Children?

Being a delusional transgender is not a gd political movement.

And no one wants to look at chicks with di$ks except a very few gays.

I was just about to post the same thing. It has become undeniable fact.

Godless reprobates taking every opportunity they can to display and push their antichrist agendas.

They’re going to get the real Antichrist.

Tagline.

I seem to recall (gee I'm old), feminists denouncing the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue for objectifying women. Even at some point having loud demonstrations about it.

I guess it's OK to objectify women, as long as the women aren't really women.

It used to be SI for its swimsuit issue had pictures of ladies with swimsuits that were “painted on”. Can’t do that with “girls” with tackle.

There is no such thing as a ‘transgender’ as one cannot change their sex. Period. Tell that to someone and you get a deer in the headlights look, then walk away laughing.
