Trans Teen Spent Summer Transforming Into Kim Kardashian Lookalike
When asked as a young girl who I would want to be if I could turn into anyone, I always replied with Celine Dion.
I’m not entirely sure what it was about the French-Canadian singer that I loved so much, but she was definitely my idol. Luckily for recently transitioned 15-year-old Kairah Kelly, her inspiration comes from someone slightly trendier and less stuck in the nineties (sorry Celine, ILY).
The Kardashian mega-fan was known as Tyler until the end of the last school year, but has spent the summer transitioning into Kairah and now formally identifies as a trans girl. She told the Metro:
“I felt really strange and different. I’d look in the mirror and the person I saw was a stranger.”
I’d imagine myself in skirts and dresses when I was as young as eight years old. Now when I look in the mirror, I see myself.”
I reckon she’s got the look down:
Kairah has experimented with make-up, nail varnish and heels from a young age, and was always free to express herself at home, until her parents made her stop for fear she’d get bullied. She came out as gay at aged 13, but has since felt that that wasn’t right, and decided to transition into living as a woman earlier this year. She has now been referred for gender identity treatment and is due to start hormone blockers soon.
I reckon she’s doing a pretty good job, but I hope she finds her own identity rather than just copying Kim:
