Sports Illustrated selects first transgender woman for swimsuit magazine.....

[Pammy]

I'm sorry, what is a "transgender woman"?

[Lummy]

Unreal. But not surprising.

Not surprising, but still shocking, and "shocking" is a goal of American junk food journalism, here with no sex in the sex, just pointless ruse. Is there a shortage of female models? What is SI trying to prove -- that it is craftier than its readers' senses?

Well, comic books are sexless too. Just wow.

A confused man.

The entire world has lost its collective mind.

I haven't.

[Lummy]

if it gets our resident mooslams pissed, I'm for it

Ahh ... ya think that's it? I hadn't thought of that.

Maybe they should stick with just women athletes and not models.

Maybe they should just stick with women.

[RichardMZhlubb]

I see.so women should be covered from head to toe when in public. ...especially at the beach.

No, I'm just surprised that SI still publishes an actual magazine of any kind. I was a subscriber for over 40 years, and cancelled a few years ago when the magazine started going dramatically downhill.

Regardless of where I stand on transgender issues, the first thing that came to mind was "Not like it's real, anyway." The amount of photoshopping and alterations drastically change the images. I realize that men don't want cellulite or muffin tops on their cover models, but it seems odd to request a "real" woman when you weren't getting one to begin with.

Tell me you wouldn't ;-)
