The youngest sex change in the world belongs to a teenage boy who had the sex change procedure that made him a her. German Kim Petras was born Tim but wanted to be a girl from the age of two.
The operation was conducted secretly last month - and authorized after psychologists deemed that Kim was "without doubt a girl in a boy's body".
The operation was paid for by Germany's government-supported health care system.
"I was asked if I feel like a woman now - but the truth is I have always felt like a woman - I just ended up in the wrong body, the Sun quoted her, as saying.
"I can enjoy swimming, and bikinis, go in the changing rooms without a problem, everything has changed because of this operation. I just can't wait to put on my favorite bathing suit and go swimming like I've never done before.
"I had to wait until my 16th birthday but once that was past I was able legally to have the operation," she added.
Kim has a modelling career behind her and recently launched a CD of music.
