Kim Petras, a German teen whose name used to be Tim, says she always knew she was meant to be a girl. Her parents let her undergo genital reassignment surgery last year after she turned 16. Now she’s completely focused on her musical career, which might not last long if her song “Die for You” is any indication because it’s totes crappy. Hopefully, all this coverage she’s getting for being transgendered will get the attention of a top music producer who can help her develop a more unique and interesting sound. [Dlisted]

I’m with you. While I’m glad that Kim is getting press (we trans people do need to see the light of day, culture wise) it’s pretty obvious that while she has some raw talent, she needs to work on the music and her presence in the videos.

I heard of her a couple of months ago, and unlike some transgenders, it’s quite hard to tell without knowing..probably because it happened before puberty really happened.
