TRANS Sports Illustrated Model? Kim Petras cover



Bud Light faced major backlash from customers after featuring transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney in an ad campaign — and now it seems to be Sports Illustrated’s turn.

The magazine, known for its sultry bikini shoots, featured Kim Petras on the cover of its swimsuit edition.

Petras is a transgender pop star who caused an uproar accompanying Sam Smith on stage at the Grammys during what many, including Lauren Chen, found to be a “satanic” performance.

Chen admits that while she’s not the target demographic, she’s not sure actual readers of the magazine are going to be thrilled.

“I’m not sure how Sports Illustrated readers actually feel about that, but I can only assume that they’re on board with it, because there’s no way in 2023 that a brand would ever do something that goes against its target audience just for, well, virtue points” Chen jokes.

While trans activists are applauding the magazine for championing the LGBTQ+ community, Chen believes that many more actual readers will be critical.

“I’m sure that Sports Illustrated could feel really good that they’ve gained new fans in those 40 or 50 so people out there,” however, she says there are “some criticisms to be had over the fact that they would choose to feature a trans woman for a magazine that caters largely to straight men.”

Chen brings up that most straight men are simply not attracted to trans women, regardless of whether or not they “pass.”

She says this is because “attraction is based on biology, not gender identity, and you know, Kim Petras, she’s, he’s male.”

Petras underwent gender confirmation surgery at just 16 years old, and Chen sees this as making the entire situation even worse.

She says, “Not only is Sports Illustrated pushing the trans agenda, but they’re also pushing the idea that yes, children can consent to being permanently mutilated and, yes, sterilized.”

Whitlock: The truth about Sports Illustrated’s ‘blubbery beauty’ is darker than Jordan Peterson conveyed



Dr. Jordan Peterson misspoke when he proclaimed via Twitter that Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Yumi Nu is “not beautiful.”

We all know beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Peterson should have said the extra-plus-sized model is “not healthy. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that.” He undermined a fact with a personal opinion, and by doing so, he allowed the woke to once again dodge responsibility for their real evil agenda.

On Monday, North America’s most honest public intellectual reacted to Sports Illustrated’s decision to place an obese woman with a strikingly pretty face on the cover of its formerly iconic Swimsuit Issue. He retweeted a New York Post story picturing the blubbery Asian beauty beneath his proclamation: “Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that.”

Twitter, of course, erupted in faux outrage. A white man impolitely aired his truth about a flabby Asian fashion model. Twitter’s social justice army accused Peterson of unloading a toxic vat of white privilege and white supremacy.

Unafraid of a brawl, Peterson engaged his critics. He doubled down on his contention that the left wants to redefine beauty standards.

“It’s a conscious progressive attempt to manipulate & retool the notion of beauty, reliant on the idiot philosophy that such preferences are learned & properly changed by those who know better.”

I say this respectfully. Peterson missed the mark again. He botched this issue. Beauty is an opinion. And we all know opinions are like booty holes. Everyone has one and they all stink. The left doesn’t want to retool the notion of beauty. They want to retool the notion of health. They want to reclassify obesity as healthy.

Virtually everything the progressive left promotes is related to normalizing a culture of death, destruction, and despair. Abortion is about the right to kill babies in the womb. Liberalizing drug laws is about freeing people to self-medicate themselves into zombies. Defunding the police is about normalizing violent chaos within communities. Hostility toward religion is about removing hope, the lifeblood of civilization. Transgenderism is about the mutilation of God’s creation.

Jordan Peterson is known for speaking uncomfortable truths. He passed on an opportunity in this instance. The platform of the modern left is built on early 20th-century satanist Aleister Crowley’s “do what thou wilt” philosophy. Crowley argued the purpose of life is for humans to align themselves with their true will.

It sounds great. Why wouldn’t you want to align yourself to your true will?

Well, for those of us who believe in a higher power, who believe our inalienable rights come from God, who believe that Jesus died on a cross for our sins, we’re taught the purpose of our lives is to align ourselves with God’s will for us. His vision for us is spelled out in the Bible.

We’re taught that our nature is sinful and we should avoid a “do what thou wilt” mindset and set of behaviors.

Specifically, among other things, we’re taught that gluttony is a sin that will harm our lives and lead to death.

Phillipians 3:19: “Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.”

Proverbs 23:2: “And put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.”

Proverbs 23:20-21: “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.”

For those of you who are nonbelievers, you don’t need the Bible for evidence of the dangerous impact of gluttony and obesity. Check with any doctor. Punch it into Google. You can call me. Gluttony and obesity have been my weaknesses.

The effort to normalize obesity is evil and satanic. Sports Illustrated is promoting death with its glorification of rotund runway models. Yumi Nu foolishly believes her ascension to SI cover girl is a symbol of necessary progress.

“I feel like we’re in a place right now where people are making space for more diversity on magazine covers,” she said. “It’s a big time for Asian-American people in media. I know I play a big role in representation in body diversity and race diversity, and I love to be a role model and representative of the plus-size Asian community.”

Nu is a disciple of the D.I.E. religion of diversity, inclusion, and equity. The D.I.E. religion is just Aleister Crowley’s satanism rebranded in a way that makes it palatable for the masses. It’s do what thou wilt. It’s the seeking of your true will.

Yumi Nu is a 250-pound glamour girl. She has aligned herself with her corpulent true will. She’s no different from Lia Thomas, the young man who decided his true will was to be a swimmer on the University of Pennsylvania’s women’s team. Nu is no different from Pete Buttigieg, the U.S. secretary of transportation who hopped in a hospital bed to pretend he delivered a baby.

Yumi Nu feels like she’s the Asian Christie Brinkley, Heidi Klum, or Tyra Banks. The reality is Nu is more Lizzo or Jason Whitlock, a pretty face seated atop a grossly unhealthy body. The people lying to and about Yumi Nu want her and others to die an early death smothered in gravy, fried chicken, and Kool-Aid.

Death is the point of the D.I.E. religion. Its adherents want to kill America and Western civilization by killing Judeo-Christian culture.

What made America great was when we collectively sought to align ourselves with God’s will for us. That’s what compelled us to end slavery and Jim Crow. Men and women who wanted to be on the right side of God fought for freedom and equality of opportunity.

Men and women who want to be on the right side of a history leftists plan to write will end up standing alongside Aleister Crowley and blubbery beauties.

Whitlock: Sports Illustrated ‘Swimsuit Issue’ another historic moment in the rewriting of American history



The left-wing obsession with placing itself on the right side of the fraudulent history that corporate media plans to write reached a historic zenith yesterday. At least Sports Illustrated thinks so.

The formerly iconic sports magazine trumpeted its 2021 Swimsuit Issue with bold proclamations about its history-making trifecta of cover models.

Tennis star Naomi Osaka is the first Haitian and Japanese cover model.

Megan Thee Stallion is the first rapper and uncastrated male horse cover model.

And Leyna Bloom, well, she's the GOAT of GOATs. Bloom is the first transgender cover model.

But that's not all. Osaka, Thee Stallion, and Bloom are the first trio of black people to grace the cover of SI's Swimsuit Issue.

Yesterday, blue-check Twitter and legacy media partied like it was 2099 and the Great Reset was celebrating its 70th birthday.

Cosmopolitan magazine tweeted with glee. "Megan Thee Stallion makes history as the first rapper ever to pose for 'Sports Illustrated Swimsuit' cover."

Page Six tweeted about Bloom and Osaka. Entertainment Weekly, People Magazine, the Today Show all threw Twitter confetti high in the air. This is progress. This is history. This is a transformational moment in American culture. This is Neil Armstrong taking one giant leap for mankind.

This swimsuit edition reminds me of other great moments in black history. My parents remember exactly where they were in 1947 when Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color barrier. My grandparents fondly remember when Jesse Owens took four gold medals at the Berlin Olympics. Has anyone forgotten that day in 1974 when Hank Aaron smashed home run number 715 and surpassed Babe Ruth?

Who will forget this moment when desperate editors of a failing magazine resorted to a publicity stunt exploiting racial tension and gender dysphoria?

"This moment heals a lot of pain in the world," Leyna Bloom tweeted. "We deserve this moment; we have waited millions of years to show up as survivors and be seen as full humans filled with wonder."

I get Bloom's joy. Gender dysphoria is a serious issue. I'm not going to begrudge Bloom and other transgenders their sense of normalcy.

My problem is with packaging of gender dysphoria with the black race. Sports Illustrated made intentional, calculated choices. The company injected race into the Swimsuit equation. These choices are subjective. No one earns the Swimsuit cover. It's given. It's not an accomplishment. It's affirmative action.

There was a time when magazines such as Sports Illustrated gained attention celebrating the actual history-making accomplishments of all athletes. Now, legacy print publications and corporate media outlets troll the public for relevance and cast their virtue signals as historic moments.

Why wouldn't they? They plan to write the history your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will read. In the world that corporate media are plotting, immoral, pornographic rappers will be portrayed as thought leaders and public intellectuals. Biological men with the balls to surgically transition to women will be described as heroes and every bit as courageous as the soldiers who stormed Normandy.

In the aftermath of the Great Reset, the Christian values that led this country down the path to freedom and greatness will be characterized as evil.

My problem is that the puppet masters are using race and racism as the Trojan horses to socially engineer America into a new reality. No one made history with the SI covers. The Swimsuit Issue is the further rewriting of history. It's another companion to the New York Times' 1619 Project. Let's call it the 36-24-36 Project, written by the Alphabet Mafia.

Transgender model, biological male, makes cover of Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue



For the first time ever, a transgender person has been chosen to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated's famed swimsuit issue.

Leyna Bloom — a transgender model and actress who was born a biological male but underwent a gender transition later in life — was featured on the annual magazine's cover, which was released Monday.

Bloom, who is well-known in the fashion industry, announced the news on Instagram to their 400,000 followers, writing, "This moment heals a lot of pain in the world. We deserve this moment; we have waited millions of years to show up as survivors and be seen as full humans filled with wonder."


"I have dreamt a million beautiful dreams, but for girls like me, most dreams are just fanciful hopes in a world that often erases and omits our history and even existence," Bloom continued. "This moment is so powerful because it allows me to live forever even after my physical form is gone. Not a lot of people get to live in the future, so at this moment, I'm proudly choosing to live forever."

Speaking about Bloom's appearance on the cover of the issue, Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition editor MJ Day said, "Leyna is legendary in the world of activism, strikingly gorgeous, and has an undeniable sense of self that shines through the minute she walks on set.

"Her story represents one grounded in resilience, and we couldn't be more thrilled to help her tell it. Her presence as the first trans woman of color to be in our issue is a result of her lifetime dedication to forging her own path," Day added.

In a video published by BuzzFeed LGBTQ in 2017, Bloom recalled experiencing a desire to be a woman from a young age as they "gravitated towards more feminine objects." Bloom's father reportedly encouraged the gender transition.

At the age of 17, Bloom moved to New York City to pursue fashion and modeling. Despite facing some initial rejection, Bloom eventually jumpstarted a promising career. According to Page Six, Bloom has appeared in Vogue India, campaigns for H&M and Levi's, and starred in a runway gig for Tommy Hilfiger.

Bloom told Page Six that being featured on SI's swimsuit issue cover is just the beginning.

"We just honestly have to keep moving," the model said. "This is not my first time making history, and this is probably not going to be my last. I want to just go out in the world and not limit myself. The world is changing and people need to see the fact that, wow, this is the beginning of it. This is what it looks like, and it's so beautiful."

Gender fluid model becomes first male finalist in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit search



For the first time in the 57-year history of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, a male model is being considered to grace the pages of the annual publication. Lewis Freese was named to one of the coveted finalist spots, which were reserved for females in previous years.

Freese is a 21-year-old full-time student from Minneapolis. After a virtual casting call, Freese was named one of the 15 finalists who will be considered for the 2021 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, beating out thousands of other models.

At this time, Freese is unsure what gender he is.

"Going through this process I have learned so much about myself and most importantly my identity," Freese said in an Instagram post."To be honest, I have no clue where my gender really falls at the moment but all I can do is take things day by day and share every moment with all of you."

Freese encouraged his followers, regardless of their gender or sexuality, to assist him in fighting "boundaries" by putting pronouns in their social media biographies to help "normalize gender fluidity."

"I want to work with Sports Illustrated so we can stop those who judge, criticize, or hate on those who are choosing to be themselves," Freese stated. "No longer should a man or woman feel they need to fit certain gender standards, no longer should stereotypes exist for sexual orientations, no longer should people hide their authentic character."

Freese advises anyone who doesn't like his photos to "look away."

In his Sports Illustrated swim search audition tape, Freese said he was "obsessed" with SI models such as Kate Upton and Ashley Graham because they inspired him to be confident in who he was.

"But as a man and as a teenager, I felt so embarrassed and ashamed of that because I was told for so long I had to look up to men and I had to aspire to be something that a man would be and not a woman," Freese said. "I've learned that that's absolutely not true."

"Sports Illustrated Swimsuit is literally one of the most inspirational and encouraging brands I have ever come across in my life," Freese noted. "Regardless of your body, race, age, gender, or sexuality, their goal is to embrace and empower every single person for who they are.

"The entire concept of being the first male does not phase me," Freese told People. "I really don't view myself as the first but as the next. The next model to break a barrier, the next model to have these uncomfortable conversations, the next model to be unapologetically myself.

"I am so grateful to be a part of a group of finalists who all represent completely different messages, yet have the same goal, to further inclusivity," Freese said.

Sports Illustrated has made a concerted effort to break the mold of prototypical swimsuit models that the publication has featured for decades. Recent diverse SI models include Yumi Nu, who is the publication's first "Asian curve model."

Last month, Leyna Bloom became the first black and Asian trans woman to appear on the swimsuit issue. In 2019, Valentina Sampaio was the first transgender model to be featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Registered nurse Maggie Rawlins from South Carolina, who put her modeling career on hold to focus on being a front-line worker during the COVID-19 pandemic, will also be featured in the magazine's swimsuit special.

The 2021 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue hits newsstands on July 20.
