Quote of the Day

Posted by Chris Spags on February 4th, 2009 at 2:15 pm

Remember Kim Petras, the teenage boy who become a far-too-attractive teenage girl at way too young of an age? Well heshe gave an interview to The Sun and it was scintillating.

Kim has become the youngest person in the world to have a full sex change operation after undergoing hormone therapy since the age of 12.

Now aged 16, she said: “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.

“I can enjoy swimming, and bikinis, go in the changing rooms without a problem, everything has changed because of this operation. I just can’t wait to put on my favourite bathing suit and go swimming like I’ve never done before. ”

Dr Bernd Meyenburg, who treats patients with identity disorders at the University of Frankfurt Hospital, said: “Very few youth psychiatrists have any experience with transsexual developments. The families wander from one psychiatrist to the next.

“I was always against such operations on children so young but after seeing how happy one of my patients was and how well adjusted after returning from having the operation abroad while still a teenager – I realised that in some cases it is the right decision.

“Kim is such a case – she always knew what she wanted.”
