Sex-change kid becomes model
CUTE blonde Kim – who as a German BOY in 2004 became the world’s youngest person to start hormone treatment for a sex-change – makes her debut as a model.
Now 14, Kim has been signed up to do a photo shoot for Unisex, a German chain of hair salons.
Eventually Kim will have a full op to turn her permanently into a female.
Unisex boss Giuseppe Pino Galanti said: “She’s a natural.”

She's a Boy I Knew
VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL FILM FEST
Denise Sheppard
Gwen Haworth says there were no stories of successful transitions when she was coming out as trans. She hopes her new film will help fill that void.
At the age when most small children are thinking about their first day of school and how to ride a bike, Gwen Haworth (who at the time was a young boy named Steven) knew that her gender identity was awry.
It was a secret she kept to herself for more than two decades.
"I've been aware of this since I was four," says Haworth. "That meant 23 years of keeping this secret hidden, 23 years of self-hate and internalized transphobia."
The frustration in her words is palpable, but the softness in her spirit resonates peace above and beyond all other emotions.
Know this: this is no queer tragedy. In fact, Haworth's story is inspiring and worth celebrating, and even comes complete with a happy ending.
The 'ending' however is really just another beginning —Haworth's anticipated film debut called She's a Boy I Knew: Gwen's DIY feature transgender documentary.
Haworth's first- and second-person account of her evolutionary journey pre- and post-transition is something that should be required viewing in every school, at every PFLAG meeting, heck, at every prenatal class out there.
Haworth, now an East Van-based dyke filmmaker, takes on a host of brave topics in front of the camera, asking difficult questions not just of herself, but also of her parents, her siblings, her ex-wife (whom she married while still identifying as a man) and her dearest friends. The candor and bravery of her family members results in both touching and deeply honest vignettes that will resonate with all who watch it. . .
