He cued it up. “It’s like ABBA,” Petras\' said, approvingly.\nGuetta went online to find a translation of the lyrics. The title might be rendered, rather awkwardly, as “Without Counterfeit”—or, with some poetic license, as “Honestly.” The song revolves around a confession: roughly, “Since we have to choose, I’ll say it softly / I’m a boy, honestly.” The lyrics are evocative and enigmatic, with a stray reference to the Chevalier d’Éon, an eighteenth-century diplomat and spy who went undercover as a woman and lived that way for more than thirty years. “‘Alone in my closet,’ ”Guetta said, reading the translation. “That line is so crazy!”, Petras\' was curious, but not quite ready to dive in.\nWhen Petras pulled into another music studio, the next day, she was wearing the same black Balenciaga basketball shorts she had been wearing the day before. “I slept in this,” she said. “I’m disgusting.” She lives in Beachwood Canyon with her three dogs, and she had spent the night thinking about “Sans Contrefaçon.” She and the other writers had eventually managed to transform it into a new song—not quite a cover, or a remix, but something that retained both the beat and the concept. “I was up till 3 a.m., listening to a shitty voice memo and trying to come up with verse two,” she said. (For someone with easy access to top-quality audio equipment, she spends a lot of time listening to rough mixes, re-recorded through an iPhone.) “It’s about this girl who says, ‘If I had a choice, I would be a boy’—so we kinda flipped that whole shit,” she told me. “I’ve never made a trans-related-subject song.”\nPetras\' long and willful journey toward celebrity began, in a sense, with a journey away from it. As a teenager, she gave interviews and wrote blog posts about her transition, and was featured in documentaries and articles. “Every single one was called, like, ‘From Boy to Girl,’ ‘From Tim to Kim,’ ” she says. “I was kind of, like, a joke in Germany, a little bit.” In 2009, when she was sixteen, the Daily Mail called her “the world’s youngest transsexual,” and quoted her doctor, who said, “To the best of my knowledge, Kim is the youngest sex-change patient in the world.”\nA few years later, she sat for an ABC News interview with Cynthia McFadden, who described her as both a pioneer and an aspiring pop singer. “It might seem hard, but still so plain to see / This is the real me,” she sang; the earnest lyrics seemed straightforwardly autobiographical.
