A medium has claimed that transitioning into a woman proved to be the key to unlocking her spiritual powers.

Becs Sawyer has always held an interest in the spirit world, but was unable to master it.

However, everything changed when the 58-year-old – once an 18-stone bodybuilder – transitioned, she claimed.

She said: ‘It wasn’t until I went through my physical and emotional transition that the spirit stuff started to wake up.


‘Since I transitioned it has all come together and allowed spirits to become closer to me – being comfortable with myself has been like opening a door to their world.’

Becs, a clairsentient of Ilford in east London, said that most people accept her for who she is.



But it’s not always the case when it comes to her job – as some spirits are ‘homophobic’, she claims.

She said: ‘I do meet some homophobic spirits who don’t agree with me but I don’t take it personally really, it’s about me expressing the person’s personality and character even if they don’t agree with me.

‘Spirits will tell me what they think of me so they can validate who they are; if a dad is homophobic he won’t lie about his homophobia otherwise his relatives won’t recognise him. I never want to change or filter what spirits want to say.’

Becs has gone through complete reassignment surgery and even went through a 24-hour facial reconstruction operation.

She said: ‘It was a long process with incredible highs and incredible lows, but at least now society has moved on I’m not the only trans in the village!

‘I’m 6ft2 and I stand out, so no one can forget me.’

Throughout everything, Becs’ wife of 17 years Nicky, 43, has stood by her, with Becs describing her as her ‘rock’.

She added: ‘She’s incredibly intuitive, like a real earth angel. We support each other in everything we want to do and she helped so much during my transition.

‘After I came out as trans she didn’t care, she loves me as a person. It wasn’t about gay or straight, just about who I love.

‘We’re actually quite boring though, our idea of a good night is being in bed together each watching our Netflix programmes while holding hands.’
