Kim Petras deserves this win to be all about her incredible talent, let’s not let it be clouded in transphobia.
Kim Petras made history last night as the first transgender woman to win the best duo/group collaboration alongsidefor their single Unholy. The 30-year-old singer gave an impassioned speech thanking pioneers who ‘kicked the doors open’ to make way for artists like her- including Wendy Carlos, the first trans woman to win a Grammy back in 1970 for synth album Switched-On Bach.
‘All these years are going through my head of people saying I'd be a niche artist because I'm transgender, and my music would only ever play in gay clubs - and what's wrong with that, because I love gay clubs - but now I got a Grammy for making gay club music with my friend,’It should be a beautiful, empowering moment then – and it certainly is – but the win is somewhat clouded by the immediate reaction afterwards, be it transphobic trolling online or the harmful Google searches...
What’s telling about these searches is what they say about people’s attitude towards trans people, especially in moments that should be purely joyful. We know it’s harmful to share images of trans people pre-transition, that they’re often used to delegitimise and demonise trans people and usually shared with the intention to upset or traumatise someone, so to seek out such pictures indicates an intention to cause harm to the trans community.
So, if you come across any images, or are curious to seek them out yourself, remember the harm that can be done by engaging with them or sharing them.
