"Teen pop star reveals secret sex-change
A 16-year-old pop singer's four-year transformation from "Tim" to "Kim" is finally complete after a secret sex change operation.
German teen Tim Petras underwent the surgery last November and is believed to be the world's youngest transsexual, Britain's Daily Mail newspaper reports.
She is now speaking out about the final hurdle in gender transformation.
"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, who now identifies as Kim, was quoted as saying.
"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."
Petras' surgery was authorised after psychologists agreed that she was "without doubt a girl in a boy's body".
She had undergone hormone replacement therapy since the age of 12 after becoming convinced she wanted to be a girl when she was just two years old.
Under German law, sex change surgery isn't allowed until a person turns 18 but Petras convinced doctors when she was 12 that she should have the operation.
By the time Petras was 14, she was registered as a female.
Petras, who studies fashion design, was signed to a German record label last year and released her first online single "Last Forever".
It became a sensation on Myspace and Facebook.
Last September, just weeks before her life-altering surgery, Petras' first commercial single "Fade Away" hit the German market.
Her father Lutz said it was taking him a while to come around to the reality of Kim's change sex but that his daughter is "very persuasive".
"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," he was quoted as saying."
Opinons?
Personally this is one of the reason I feel more and more dissolusioned with the West.
P.S. My first post, hope someone hasn't made a thread on this yet. If that's the case, my bad.
Ditto PM, I feel for the girl, but your bodies goes through a lot of changes at that age and I'm wondering if the doctors didn't jump the gun. It would have been smarter to wait the extra 2 years, so her hormones could even out a bit more.
but when the money comes in, it never matter! Lol!!!!!!!!

16 might be a little young, but I'm glad she's happy.

Deedee, the parent who really really loves his/her child, accepts the child as an individual, loves the child unconditionally, trusts the child and wants the child to be happy!

Its better than living in-between..lol
what kind of parent would let their child have hormone replacement therapy at 12? or a sex change at 16? He was still a child. And I say He, because operation or not HE is still a HE in my book. You don't mess with God's creations.
