Sports Illustrated has revealed the first ever black and Asian transgender model to grace the pages of its annual Swimsuit Issue.

Though the iconic magazine doesn't launch until July, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Instagram account has been unveiling one model a day throughout the month of March — and this morning, they made waves with the announcement that Chicago-born model, dancer, actor, and activist Leyna Bloom, 27, is joining the likes of Lais Ribeiro and Josephine Skriver in the 2021 edition.

Leyna, who is the second trans model to pose for SI Swim, opened up to Good Morning America about her boundary-breaking accomplishment, gushing: 'I never imagined that I would be born in a time when something like this would happen for someone with my skin tone and for someone with my background.'

Meanwhile while the American liberal class is all in for what is the best woke of the day, Chinese men and women are studying to become doctors, scientists, engineers, and military warriors. Wake up America!

Well now the “girls” on SI will be trans, I guess they are trying to help them get dates.

They need to find one that’s also one legged and Plus Sized

I remember when the SI swimsuit issue used to come out in February, relieving the drought between the Super Bowl and the start of baseball. The models were actual women like Christie Brinkley, Kathie Ireland, Paulina Porizkova...

Sports Illustrated destroyed all that. I don't believe anyone buys or is interested in their swimsuit editions anymore. One small item in a long list of things the American Left has destroyed.

They need to find one that’s also one legged and Plus SizedIf it's just plus sized, they were all at the Grammy's.

Why doesn’t SI have a strictly Tranny contest, in addition to the ‘real’ female contest?. Why place them with biological females? Askin for a friend.

[Leep]

Who will be the first celeb to date one?

[CaptainK]

Man sized hands, obvious breast implants and his voice tell me he is a man.

[Varda]

Lots of guys don't have noticeable Adams apple throats. Anyway he looks like a guy. The body proportions are wrong for a female. The guy has been on hormone treatments for quit a while though.

[Fred Hayek]

There is surgery to shave the adams apple.

[Vision]

The people involved with this should commit harakiri for the sake of the human race.

[T.B. Yoits]

Sounds like Sport Illustrated is rebranding as Surgery Illustrated.

Einhorn is Finkle.

And the SI swimsuit edition came to a tragic end.

[ronniesgal]

is this worse than when they had the fatty brigade on the cover? and Playboy has a preggo woman on the cover!

[Kid Shelleen]

Where have you gone Elle Macpherson? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

[ronniesgal]

there are photos of bruce jenner in a wig and white swimsuit floating around.

[Captain Peter Blood]

I remember when Demi Moore was on the cover of Vanity Fair, was pregnant, and she still looked smoking !

[ponygirl]

The magic of Photoshop.

[ScubaDiver]

I don’t know for certain if all this woke & trans insanity is the early stages of the collapse of western civilization. But, if it turns out that it is indeed, count me as one who will not be surprised when it happens.

BTW, where are all the professional conservatives who said the homosexual marriage slippery slope was no slippery slope at all? Where did those morons go?

[JewishRighter]

Vis a vis he being a she:
