Kim Petras – world’s youngest transsexual

Fungle — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:38:05 +0000

A girl who had a sex change at the age of 12 is set to become an international singing superstar.

Kim Petras – originally known as Tim Petras – was diagnosed as a transsexual by doctors and started undergoing the hormonal change to become a girl before her teenage years began.

From the Telegraph:

German teenager Kim Petras has become the world’s youngest transsexual after undergoing an operation at the age of just 16.

The procedure – carried out in secret and paid for by the German health service – was authorised after psychologists confirmed that she was “without doubt a girl in a boy’s body”.

It is the world’s youngest ever full sex change operation and Kim – born Tim -had been undergoing hormone therapy since the age of 12.

Dr Bernd Meyenburg who heads the Psychiatric Special Outpatient Clinic for Children and Adolescents 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.”

Kim overcame years of taunts and bullying to achieve her dream of becoming a girl and has begun a modelling career and launched a CD.

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.”

And she can’t wait for the summer so she can try out a whole new wardrobe of tight fitting clothes.

She said: “I had a problem because I couldn’t wear skinny stuff, but now I can wear whatever I want to. I really am looking forward to going swimming like everyone else and to wearing tight jeans that show off my figure. They are so tight, I always felt quite uncomfortable in them until now.

“Now I can go as tight as I want to. I used to wear mini skirts too, but yes, now even the tight ones can be part of my wardrobe.

“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.”

“I had to wait until my 16th birthday but once that was past I was able legally to have the operation. I know that because of my past people will always bring up the subject, I can’t get away from it. But I hope that one day I might be better known for something else like my music.”

Kim, who is now studying fashion design, began calling herself a girl when she was just two years old.

Her dad Lutz said: “I suppose it took me longer than my wife to accept it, but Kim is a very persuasive girl, she knows what she wants and how to get it. I am very proud of what she has achieved, how she has managed to get there and how she sticks to her dreams no matter how hard and painful they are to follow.”

Last year Kim became a model for a nationwide German hair salon chain.

Director Giuseppe Pino Galanti said: “Kim fits perfectly with the image we want to portray. She is very pretty, and has a lot of style and personality, both of which are equally important. Our stylists produce work that is sassy, trendy and unique, just like Kim.”

Weapons and Tools made by Prisoners. photography by Marc Steinmetz

Original Post at MarcSteinmetz.com

SHOTGUN

made from iron bedposts; charge made of pieces of lead from curtain tape and match-heads,

to be ignited by AA batteries and a broken light bulb. On May 21, 1984 two inmates of

a prison in Celle, Germany, took a jailer as a hostage, showed off their fire power by letting go at

a pane of bullet-proof glass, and escaped by car.

THE CLASSIC

Makeshift rope in the classic style, made from bedsheets and

dish towels; length: 16 meters. On May 2, 1998 two inmates

used it in a failed attempt to escape from the 6th floor of

‘Santa Fu’ jail in Hamburg, Germany.

One of the men fell, the other made it to the roof of the main

gate where he was spotted by a surveillance camera.

IMMERSION HEATER

made from razor blades; found in a cell in ‘Santa Fu’ jail in Hamburg, Germany. Jailbirdsuse these tools to distil alcoholic

beverages forbidden in prisons. Your typical inmate’s moonshine still includes a plastic can containing fermented fruit mash

or juice, an immersion coil of some sort, a rubber hose, and a plastic receptacle for the booze.

LADDER

made of steel rails frombookshelves. On October 10, 1994, inmates

Gerhard Polak and Raimund Albert used this ladder during

their successful escape from ‘Santa Fu’ prison in Hamburg, Germany.

KNUCKLEDUSTER

with padded handle, made from a rasp that

was presumably stolen from a prison workshop.

The weapon was found in a cell in the prison of

Wolfenbüttel, Germany, sometime around 1993.

RADIO TRANSMITTER / BUG

made of radio recorder parts by an inmate of Wolfenbüttel prison, Germany (battery is missing).

Prisoners occasionally manage to install gizmos like this one in guard-rooms to be prepared for

upcoming cell searches. Also suitable as a means of cell-to-cell communication among

inmates. A standard radio serves as a receiver.

STOVE / GRILL / TOASTER

An inmate of Ludwigsburg prison, Germany, botched together this multi-purpose tool from wire,

a broken heating rod and sometin foil. It was found in his cell and confiscated sometime in the mid-eighties.

DAGGER

disguised as a wooden crucifix; found in an inmate’s cell in Wolfenbüttel prison, Germany,

sometime around 1994; intended for use in an escape or as a general weapon. At that

time a lot of crucifixes were fashioned in prison woodshops until jailers finally dug their

true purpose.

HASH PIPE

fashioned from an empty

horseradish tube; confiscated in ‘Santa Fu’ prison in Hamburg, Germany. Bongs are the most

common of all forbidden items in prisons. The range of materials they are made of mirrors the

inmates’ great imagination. And their prior needs.

TATTOOING NEEDLE

made from a toothbrush handle, a ball pen and an electric motor; confiscated in ‘Santa Fu’ prison

in Hamburg, Germany.Tattooing instruments are a popular and common source of

income among inmates but are banned as ‘illegal objects’ due to the danger of infection

(Aids, Hepatitis, etc.).

DOUBLE-BARRELED PISTOL

This gun was found along with other homemade firearms in the cell of two Celle prison inmates

on November 15, 1984. The weapons had been made in the prison’s metal workshop.

They were loaded with pieces of steel and match-heads.
