Kim Petras regrets discussing her transition as a child

“I was 12 talking about it, which I kind of regret because privacy was really blurred, [but] I was really unashamed of talking about it because I was a kid and I was like, ‘This is the way it is.’

“Now that I’m in America, there’s so much shame around sex, sexual education is such a taboo, and it’s such a weird climate right now, especially about trans kids in particular. They’re the enemy right now.”

“In this political climate, I’m happy I can stand for [the idea that] trans kids can transition and then be a grown-up and happy and make [those] choices. I made the right choices that I’m proud of to this day,” she continued.
