NEW: Sports Illustrated Goes Woke, Puts Transgender On The Cover Of Once-Iconic Swimsuit Issue

Sports Illustrated seems to have not learned from the mistakes of Bud Light and Miller Lite: ‘Go woke, go broke.’ In a move that has sparked controversy, Sports Illustrated has chosen German pop singer Kim Petras as one of the cover models for their renowned Swimsuit issue.

Petras, a transgender biological male, has gained prominence within the LGBTQ+ community and is now in the spotlight and at the center of a major backlash.

If you haven't cancelled Sports Illustrated yet, it's time to.

Fox’s Jesse Watters poked fun at SI’s wokeness, saying “Remember when people got upset when Sports Illustrated put a plus-size model on the cover? This year, hold my beer, we’re putting a transgender model on the cover.”

Political scientist and commentator Scarlett Johnson explained, “It started with a desire to become a real-life Bratz Doll. By the age of 12, he began puberty blockers. Next, cross-sex hormones. Finally, a bunch of reconstructive surgeries & cosmetic procedures. This Sports Illustrated cover is a celebration of something very dark and very sad.”

Just glad Sports Illustrated featured Martha Stewart on the cover and not some dude in a bikini.

Sports illustrated decided to put a biological man with a bunch of plastic surgery to look like a woman on their cover. It’s an attempt to confuse our men and blur the lines of sexuality. It’s gross and wrong.

Fake hair, fake boobs, and lipstick don’t make you a woman.
