German teenager Kim Petras has become
the world’s youngest operated transsexualyoungest child whose personal surgical procedure has been made into a public spectacle by the media after undergoing a surgery at the age ofjust16. The procedure –carried out in secret andpaid for by the German health service, which doesn’t sound at all secretive to me– was authorised afterpsychologistscissexist gatekeepersconfirmedused their privileged position of power and culturally-upheld superiority to proclaim that she was“without doubt a girl in a boy’s body”a girl, something she knew all along and didn’t need anyone else to tell her. It is the world’syoungest evermost sensationalizedfull sex change operationvaginoplasty what does “full sex change operation” even mean seriously you guys and Kim had been undergoing hormone therapy since the age of 12. We’re not sure why we need to report all this information. Should we list any other medications she might be on as well? I hear she took Nyquil a couple months ago too.
Kim overcame years of taunts and bullyingto achieve her dream of becoming a girland now must contend with this kind of ignorant bullshit media coverage, isn’t that nice? And has begun a modelling career and launched a CD which is more of a contribution to the world than whoever wrote this original article could ever hope to give.
Kim, who is now studying fashion design,began calling herself a girl when she was just two years oldknew who the fuck she was since she was born jeez what a surprise you douchebags get over yourselves already.This put such a smile on my face.
there’s so much problematic wording in here it makes me want to punch myself in the face
why is it that such a ‘positive’ story like this makes me unimpressed and feel oppressed?
I corrected it further. Might point to a few reasons why.
