A former Royal Navy officer has found "her" new lease of life as a transgender pole dance instructor, the Daily Mail reported.

Natasha Gray, 48, formerly known as David Payne, came out as a cross dresser twenty years ago. But four years ago, the father-of-one became a full-time woman, adopting a new name, getting breast implants and beginning regular hormone treatments.

Natasha, who lives with her 21-year-old son and girlfriend Mary, took up dancing four years ago.

She said: "Pole dancing got a reputation for being sleazy, but it's a form of fitness. The first time I did a competition I was absolutely shaking. But once I got going I lost all sense of where I was and loved it." （點擊《每日郵報》查看原文）
