A 21-year-old New York City sugar baby doesn’t crave shopping trips, a lavish lifestyle or fancy dinners.

Anastasia, who goes by her first name, has a special friendship with a 61-year-old man who is paying for her gender reassignment surgery.

“He is paying for my transitional surgeries, which I’m extraordinarily grateful for,” she told Barcroft.

Anastasia — who met her sugar daddy on the website Seeking Arrangement — was at one point engaged to her much older benefactor and doesn’t like using labels to describe their bond.

“I just see him as someone I love very much. He loves me very much. I mean, yes he gives me money, yes he takes care of me, yes he protects me and yes he is helping me to start this brand new life that I should have been born into but unfortunately was not born into,” Anastasia said, adding that she and her ex-fiancé never consummated their relationship.

Anastasia’s vaginaplasty, breast augmentation and facial feminization will cost her partner up to $60,000, but Anastasia says she’s not only in the relationship for the financial benefits.

“I am not money-hungry, I am not a grabber in any way. I am not spoiled, I don’t want to be spoiled. I have no time for that. I just want someone to help me for my procedures because my insurance doesn’t cover them,” she said.

While they don’t have sex, Anastasia and her benefactor engage in other forms of intimacy.

“We will lay down and cuddle but nothing overtly sexual,” she told Barcroft.

Anastasia, who left conservative Texas to become a catwalk model in New York at 17, says she hopes her surgery will help her get more gigs.

“The modeling industry can be very hostile to transgender models,” she said. “They would say, ‘We just don’t know how to market you.’ It was very hard and stressful.”

Anastasia, who always felt different, suffered from years of bullying from her peers.

“Growing up I was a boy who liked boys but I wasn’t attracted to gay men — I eventually realized I was a girl trapped in a boy’s body,” she said.

Anastasia believes surgery will boost her well-being.

“The day I realized that I was a woman, I just felt like all these chains were lifted off of me. For me, surgery is like finally closing the book on a very dark nightmare. After I have my surgery and I am recovered, I will finally be born again,” she said.
