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.

Does anybody even care about the SI Swimsuit Issue anymore?
They should just put it out of its misery.

MJDay is a woman. It seems that men will never learn to allow women to stick their nose under their tent. “MJ Day is editor in chief of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit franchise. Day, who has been with the brand since 1999 has led the charge in evolving the concept to reflect the times. Under her helm, for the past 10 years, the iconic issue has broken many barriers...”

I can’t boycott SI because I haven’t opened one in 30 years.

Yes. I see this over and over again. This is being driven by some entity. This crap is being injected by force everywhere, all at once.
And I wondered why guys like Matt Groening would be invited to Epstein Island.
