Petras, a transgender pop star, is shown wearing a series of swimsuits and bikinis as part of the magazine's campaign to empower women that launched this week.— Sports Illustrated Swimsuit May 15, 2023 “The Coconuts singer is a true change-maker who uses her platform to uplift and inspire the LGBTQ+ community,” Sports Illustrated said of Petras’s Swimsuit feature.
“While she’s proud that the trans community is inspired by her work, she uses her platform to encourage others to reach for the stars, regardless of gender or sexuality,” the magazine also said.“I’m old enough to remember when men thought @SI_Swimsuit models were hot…maybe because the cover models weren’t dudes with boobs,” a Twitter user posted, including past Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover photos.
