Savannah Jackson, who was formally known as Daniel Kertchera, is a well-known consultant in the global financial industry. Recently, she came out as transgender to her multi-million company as well as thousands of clients worldwide who tune in to her weekly webinar online.

The 43-year-old who runs a Sydney-based financial company, Trading Pursuits, with her former wife Julie, said in Australia’s popular interview show, Sunday Night, that she’s happy that she can finally be herself after all these years.

‘It’s surreal that it’s here. Like it’s a dream, it’s a thought, it’s a hope and a wish that you have every single day of your life. And then, to actually be here in this moment now… it’s just like every Christmas all come at once,’ she said.

When she was still living as a man, Jackson said that she enjoyed doing ‘boy things’ but never felt like a boy on the side.

I think many trans people are “Type A” people, we are driven to exceed because I think, we are trying to overcome our own feelings of inferiority. I think we are over compensating for being trans.

This time she was forced to come out not by the news media but because of blackmail.

That was until one day she received an $150,000 extortion from a person who had obtained a photo of her dressed as a woman, and was threatening to disclose it. At that point, Jackson had yet told her parents, daughter or the extended family that she is transgendered.

The incident had caused Jackson to become clinically depressed as she stopped going out or dressing up as Savannah at home. Her work life had suffered, causing her to lose millions of money.

We are so vulnerable, to blackmail, to the ruthless media, and to violence because we are trans. People try to take advantage of us when we need a plumber, or buying a car, or at the doctor’s office, or any other time we have to place ourselves at the mercy of others.

Did we really need all that plumbing work done or did he take advantage of me? Did I get the best buy on the car or did he think that I wouldn’t haggle over the price? Does he actually care about or did he just want me out of his office so the patients wouldn’t see me? All those questions go through our minds when we have to deal with others. I know many women also wonder about these questions but we have it twice as hard being trans.
In the video, she says that as she transitions everyone around her and to see her transition in the video is amazing.
