@pinknews: Kim Petras has opened up about the treatment of transgender children in America. Speaking to The Fader, the singer said: "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." Petras also opened up about publicly transitioning at a young age: "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." On people making comments about her transition, Petras said: "I have people saying I ruined my body and I ruined my life. They don’t know me at all," "They don’t know my history, that I went to so many psychologists and so many doctors and that it was a real thing that had an assessment and [they gave me] an answer [about] why I got to [get hormone treatment]. It saved my life and then there’s people who are like, 'This saved your life, but you ruined everything.'" #kimpetras #transgender #transyouth #uspolitics
