Jack's Summary:

This show aims to de-stigmatise and demystify human bodies. Each episode is split into three parts: Teen Talk, The Naked Brigade, and The Naked Exchange.

In Teen Talk, "teenagers in a supervised classroom environment talk about body issues, and get to see naked models of all ages and body types". In The Naked Brigade, "an individual with body confidence issues, supported by a team of body-positive people, faces a challenge to help them overcome it". In The Naked Exchange, "two people with similar body journey stories, who are at different stages on their journeys, meet up for a conversation and, if they wish and feel comfortable, share their naked bodies".

After hearing that a post-phalloplasty trans man was featured in episode three's The Naked Exchange segment, I immediately rushed to watch it. The man in question is Finlay Games (AKA Finn), a post-transition English man, and he speaks with a late-twenties English trans man named Lucian.

Finlay Games, a light-skinned plus-size trans man, in the show Naked Education. He is wearing a white dressing gown. He has short brown hair and a brown beard with grey streaks. His expression is neutral or concerned.
Finn listening to Lucian share his experiences.

Lucian and Finn discuss their transitions, their differing backgrounds, and their experiences of manhood. Lucian talks about undergoing top surgery only six months prior to the episode, and says he wants to have bottom surgery in the future. Finn discusses coming out at thirty-seven years of age, the difficulty of transitioning, and the happiness that he now enjoys. All questions asked of the trans men, by the interviewer and by each other, were respectful and exactly what I would've wanted.

In a non-sexual, friendly context, Finn undresses and shows Lucian his phalloplasty result, prompting Lucian to say, "I'm so jealous, it's painful". Lucian asks questions about Finn's sensation, how the surgical result was achieved, how long the process took, and other particulars. "I can pee, get an erection, have pleasure, have sex," Finn explains, later saying, "I'm happy with it. Best decision I've made... Going through three years of surgery and six surgeries is actually less painful and hellish than gender dysphoria."

Towards the end of the episode Lucian remarks, "If this is me 20 years down the line, then I'm a happy guy." He thanks Finn for sharing his body and his story, saying, "I feel like it's definitely given me a better perspective, seeing it in-person and being able to ask questions, so I really, really appreciate you doing that."

I wish this kind of representation had been around earlier, and I'm so happy that it's here now. At a time when phalloplasty is still widely misunderstood, it's wonderful that we're able to see full-frontal nudity of a post-transition FTM guy. I'm so grateful to Finn for his bravery, especially considering the transphobia which abounds in his country.

I can't comment on the other segments (Teen Talk and The Naked Brigade), as I only watched the phalloplasty/FTM-centric scenes. But, from what I understand, a disabled non-binary person participated in The Naked Parade and was affirmed by the other participants. The show also features cancer survivors, older people, post-pregnancy women, and quadriplegic people.

I personally find the concept of the Teen Talk segments uncomfortable, though I rationally understand the logic behind it. Feel free to make up your own mind, on that front!

Prepare for anatomically-correct language when Finn and the interviewer are discussing his pre- and post-op anatomy. Also, be aware that Finn discusses disordered eating, alcohol use disorder, and other struggles which occurred due to his gender dysphoria going unmanaged.
