Kim Petras (born August 27, 1992, Cologne, Germany) is an aspiring German teen pop singer. She creates electronic dance pop music and is signed to independent record label Joyce Records. She has been the subject of extensive worldwide news media reporting regarding her transgender medical history in the context of her young age. She is currently studying fashion design and hopes to have a career in the fashion industry.

In 2006, Kim, then aged 13, made her first significant media appearance in a story on Stern TV, a German television current affairs show. In it, she described her “gender transition” and the medical treatment she received at the Endokrinologikum (hormone center) in Hamburg by Dr. Achim Wüsthof. However, it wasn’t until the following year, aged 14, that Kim gained worldwide attention from the news media. This came about after she appeared in a German television documentary and a talk show in a push to get permission for early gender reassignment surgery at age 16. According to German law, a person must normally be at least 18 to be allowed to undergo this kind of surgery.
