GRAMMY award-winning Kim Petras is a German singer and songwriter based in Los Angeles.
In 2006, she became a worldwide icon for describing her transition on a German media TV show, Stern TV. Kim would later be featured in 2007 on a documentary and a talk show as a push for sex reassignment surgery to be done at 16, as during that time Germany’s laws had it at 18.

The publicity generated from the 2007 TV appearances resulted in many news articles about her gender transition at age 12 and describing her as the “world’s youngest transsexual”.
This assertion, however, is inaccurate, as gender identity disorder is often diagnosed in early childhood and transition by children under 12, though uncommon, is not unknown. However, Kim Petras may have been one of the youngest people at that time to receive female hormone treatments.
In September 2007, Kim Petras was a model for a nationwide chain of German hair salons. She turned 16 in 2008 and announced in a November 2008 post on her blog that she had recently completed her gender reassignment surgery.
The story hit the news media in early February 2009, suggesting that Petras may be the youngest person in the world to have had gender reassignment surgery. In an interview about her surgery, she stated, “I was asked if I feel like a woman now – but the truth is, I have always felt like a woman – I just ended up in the wrong body”.

Petras is a pop singer who also makes electronic dance music (EDM), dance-pop, electropop, and bubblegum pop. She credits the late 1990s and early 2000s pop scene, as well as 1980s Italo disco, as the primary basis for her sound.
