DR Z PHD Interviews Finlay Games.
In this powerful interview, Dr. Z sits down with Finn Games, a 47-year-old transgender man from the UK, to discuss his unique journey of discovering his trans identity at 37. Finn shares openly about the intersection of being both transgender and gay, his experience with phalloplasty (bottom surgery), and how radical vulnerability became his path to healing shame.
This conversation goes beyond typical transition narratives to explore the psychological complexities of late-life transition, managing surgical expectations, dealing with persistent dysphoria, the challenge of gender stereotypes, and finding authentic masculinity. Finn discusses his book about phalloplasty, why positive surgical outcomes are rarely shared online, and offers grounded advice for transgender adults considering medical transition.
Topics covered include: navigating sexuality and gender confusion, building confidence as a gay trans man, the reality of surgical complications versus fear, creating realistic expectations for gender-affirming procedures, and why acceptance doesn't mean settling for dysphoria.
