Trans Icon Kim Petras Releases Album, Wins Grammy, and Makes History

Kim Petras released her major-label debut album, Feed the Beast, on Friday.
Petras made history with Sam Smith when their collab "Unholy" topped the charts and earned them a Grammy.
Petras has faced misgendering and criticism about her appearance despite speaking openly about being trans since the start of her career.
Petras has made history as the first out trans artist to perform at MTV's Video Music Awards, the first to appear at its Europe Music Awards, and the first trans artist on a No. 1 Billboard hit and to win a Grammy in her category.
Petras credits her use of hormone therapy and the unwavering support of her parents for helping her navigate her identity as a trans person and achieve success in the music industry.
