Petras thanked her mother, who 'believed me that I was a girl,' while accepting the award for her collab with Sam Smith.
As Petras stepped up to the mic to accept the award—with Smith adorably gassing her up from a few feet behind—she said that Smith had told her to give the speech solo because she was the first trans woman to win in this category.
With a smile so genuine and beautiful that it made me beam while watching from my living room, Petras thanked many of the artists who paved the way for gender-nonconforming people in the music industry, including Sophie—the Scottish music producer who died in 2021 and worked with Petras, Charlie XCX and other pop icons—who “told me this would happen,” Petras said.She went on to thank Madonna and her efforts to fight for LGBTQ rights, saying, “I don’t think I could be here without Madonna.
And then, in a moment that almost broke me, Petras thanked her mother for being supportive of her gender journey: “I grew up next to a highway in nowhere Germany, and my mother believed me that I was a girl.”This device is a fraction of the cost of laser treatments but does the same thing: it applies thermal heat from LED and sonic technology to encourage blood flow, which helps resolve vaginal dryness.
