Meet Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's first ever black and Asian transgender star: Model Leyna Bloom makes history in stunning beach shoot as she reveals how she overcame homelessness to achieve her fashion 'dream'

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.'

Having long hair does not make you a woman. Wearing women’s clothes does not make you a woman. Wearing makeup does not make you a woman. Saying you are a woman does not change your chromosomes. Putting this dude in your swimsuit issue will change your viewership rates.

What happened to the days I wanted to see the SI swimsuit issue? Carol Alt was stunning back in the 70s... Christine Brinkley... Now a black mentally ill guy? No thanks!!!

I remember when moms wrote to SI to complain about the swimwear and say they'll be cancelling their kids subscription. Now if I subscribe to SI (haven't for 25 years) I would cancel it for being woke...

I think I met her, errr him, in a bar in Thailand about 25 years ago.

He would have been about 2. What are you telling us?

They should just go to Walmart and get some random people to put in the magazine, that would really be inclusive.

Sports Illustrated, just one more a too many bad woke business decisions.
I will never read another Sports Illustrated.
Those who support horse crap freak lifestyles can go fish.

Male jaw, male hips, male upper arms, fairly thick for someone so thin. Surgically pared nose. Side view, male genitalia still there.

Saw a poor confused girl in the supermarket the other day, badly fitting breast binder, long curly beard as soft as the hair on your head wisping out from under her mask. Hormones are cheap; surgery is expensive.

How many real women are now throwing out similar bathing suits and going to the hairdresser to avoid looking like this tranny?

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue has long been on my list of proof that "Liberals Ruin Everything", this just cements it's status there.

Other items:

It's never ending.

Stopped reading SI after they went all-in on the homosex thing, trumpeting some Olympic games as homo themed.

Trying to be arbiters of what athletes were allowed to say and think really pissed me off.

Then, of course they had to trash the swimsuit edition with some corpulent slob of a female. Now the full-flame mentally ill ???

I don’t see a bulge. Do I have a misunderstanding what a transgender is?

Kathy Ireland was/is my all time fav SI cover girl. Stunningly naturally beautiful in that "girl next door" kinda way...and she's conservative!
