Sam\u2019s just such an angel and sweet person, and so talented. \u2026 This is a very magical collaboration, in the way that we have both experienced the same things \u2014 we both grew up in Europe being artistic queer kids, and we share some of the same stories of being spit on in the street or being insulted every day in school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSam\u2019s been a light in my life for years and very supportive, and it\u2019s nice to have someone who goes through some of the same things I go through to talk to about this stuff,\u201d Petras continued. \u201cEvery time we\u2019re onstage together, I just feel really safe and like I can fully be myself. So, this has been lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Petras talked of the idea of transitioning after an alleged attempt to commit suicide. \u201cfive years old\u201d After incidents of gender confusion, per <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/kim-petras-on-making-history-as-transgender-grammy-winner-no-1-hitmaker-i-hope-this-opens-doors-for-even-more-102411614.html\">Yahoo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is really a crazy thing to think that I started transitioning almost 20 years ago. It was not a thing. It was not accepted. I was really a joke in German media. I mean, that\u2019s why I left Germany, because they did a bunch of documentaries about me,\u201d The artist spoke.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was just like, \u2018I want to help other people,\u2019 but then they detonated me on TV and called me a \u2018transvestite\u2019 and all of those things. So, I never really had a chance in Germany. I moved to L.A. as soon as I was old enough, where the only thing that mattered was: \u2018Can you write songs? Can you sing?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Petras expressed gratitude, but the singer also said that she was grateful for the support. \u201canti-label.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy achievement is being a good musician, where it\u2019s not about being transgender,\u201d The \u201cUnholy\u201d singer insisted. \u201cEven though I think it\u2019s really important that there\u2019s visibility, I also think it\u2019s really important that people in general are seen not for their gender, not for their sexuality, but for their insides. I think the world would be a much better place if we didn\u2019t say, \u2018Is this a woman? Is this a man?\u2019 We limit ourselves; we put ourselves in boxes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think everybody is a person that deserves to be respected equally, and that includes trans people, gay people, all kinds of people. I\u2019m very anti-label. I just think every person is their own special, unique being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Petras and Smith were taken online by the \u201cdemonic,\u201d Grammys performance of the song featuring hell-themed Grammys \u201cUnholy,\u201d The story is about a father who abandons his family in order to visit a club.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most talked-about performances of the 65th Grammy Awards came courtesy of Sam Smith and Kim Petras with their award-winning single \u201cUnholy,\u201d which Petras further celebrated as a huge win for transgender artists. \u201cUnholy\u201d won Best Pop Duo\/Group Performance, and Smith asked that Petras accept the award.
