this shit is dumb. it is a 100% pure virtue signal by the company. no one who consumes the sports illustrated product is asking for this. this is not being done for their audience it is a diversion tactic to look woke and hope the feminists dont come for them for putting out a swimsuit calendar for decades that objectifies whamens
Woke media: "You're gonna love these chicks with dicks or we'll label you as transphobic!"
And yes, pre-internet there was at least a reason for the swimsuit edition, with this crap there's only a strong reason never to give them another penny.
What I don't get is how these declining companies manage to stay afloat. Sure the virtue signal creates a quick influx of cash but they must be lying to their advertisers the rest of the time. No one buys their magazines and their website is ranked 74,000.

Well, that and their entire reason for having a swimsuit issue died when Internet porn became widespread.
