Kim Petras | Transgender Woman

Kim Petras is a well-known German singer and songwriter. She began recording during her teenage years, and she’s been able to release hit songs such as Heart to Break, I Don’t Want It at All, Feeling of Falling, and many more. Following her early success, Kim was able to release a compilation of digital singles that would comprise her unofficial project known as Era 1.

Kim Petras had to deal with a good number of issues concerning her gender. She first appeared in a documentary and talk show in an effort to push for a gender confirmation surgery at the age of 16. Her appearances resulted in a widely covered media phenomenon that focused on her transition. She was dubbed as the “world’s youngest transexual,” and she’s also one of the youngest people to undergo transgender hormone therapy. Despite all of the controversies that she’s dealt with, she deserves credit for not allowing it to affect her growth as a musician.
