So wait… Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is now featuring transgender singers on their cover now? That’s the story with Kim Petras, a trans singer from Germany. There are also other covers, including old tax cheat Martha Stewart and some others no one as heard of. Petras underwent gender confirmation surgery at the age of 16.
As if being a Grammy-Award winning artist and history maker wasn't enough, Kim Petras is now adding SI Swimsuit COVER model to her list of accomplishments. https://t.co/ESSyOwdMJI

I don’t know how Sports Illustrated is going to market a trans person on their swimsuit issue. I mean, the target audience isn’t exactly social justice warriors. Why this sudden push by media to feature natal men in women’s spaces?
