Calvin Klein Ad of Trans Man Wearing a Bra Goes Viral as Twitter Wonders if Company Is the Next Bud Light
A 2022 Calvin Klein ad featuring Bappie Kortram, a trans man in a sports bra who had not had top surgery at the time of the photo, has gone viral and left some wondering if the company could be facing the trouble that Budweiser endured after the Dylan Mulvaney controversy.
Responding to the Calvin Klein Pride 2022 Campaign, Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis tweeted out the image, insisting, “Calvin Klein wants to go broke.”

User Aida Reva echoed this sentiment, adding, “What a great way to ‘Bud Light’ themselves. Eliseu Mateus wondered, “Calvin Klein used to be in the design and beauty business. Still in that business?”
