Leyna Bloom Becomes Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue’s First Trans Cover Model
https://www.breitbart.com ^ | July 19, 2021 | DYLAN GWINN

Leyna Bloom, a biological man who identifies as a woman, has become the first openly trans cover model in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue history.

Bloom’s dream of landing the front cover of the sports world’s most famed magazine began in 1997, after looking through the pages of the Bikini Bible on her father’s coffee table, Page Six reports.

“When they told me I got the cover, I spoke to my dad,” Bloom told Page Six.

“I was like, ‘When I was looking at that magazine … I was looking into my future. You were giving me the tools I needed to see myself, to know that I could be there, that I could inspire, that one day I could be a part of this.’”

“This cover and this moment represent what it looks like in the future,” Bloom said while remarking on the significance of landing the magazine cover.

Bloom added, “Being a person of trans experience growing up in the world, there was no representation of that [in fashion], so I felt like I could never do this.

The Swimsuit Issue’s cover star saw the pursuit of the cover as an exercise in creating a new genre.

Let’s see how newsstand sales are. The swimsuit issue makes or breaks SI every year. Anybody dumb enough to subscribe has already paid for it.

It’s kinda like buying a candy bar, then later unwrapping it only to find out that it’s actually dog poop. It’s bound to get ya a bit peeved.

The days of Christie Brinkley and Kathy Ireland are but a fond memory.

I thought SI took it too far with "plus-sized" models, but a dude on the cover is beyond ridiculous.
