Available Summary:

After coming out as trans, Finlay Games was adamant lower surgery would not be a part of his transition, but as the years went by, and his gender dysphoria increased, he decided to explore surgical options. Detailing the emotional and physical journey of phalloplasty, this book takes the reader through Finlay's experiences, from the initial decision-making through each stage of the surgery to its completion, recovery, and aftercare.

Describing how he had to relearn his body, sexuality, and relationships, Finlay shares his wealth of advice and tips on donor site options, different types of surgery, the referral process, essential items and resources, and looking after your mental health. Part memoir, part self-help guide, this insightful, witty, and deeply honest book highlights the life-changing impact surgery can have for trans people, and provides hope for those on a similar journey.

Note from Jack:

From what I've read of this book, it's great. Finlay also shared his phalloplasty result, and discussed it in detail, in the third episode of Naked Education.
