In this powerful episode of Trans Crush, host Zelah Glasson sits down with Kai, a 25-year-old model from Liverpool, to explore the complexities of the trans experience in the UK today. Kai opens up about his journey from realizing his identity as a "masc lesbian" to transitioning into the man he is today. 

He shares the raw realities of top surgery, including the unexpected "winky face" nipple loss, the challenges of dating as a trans person, and the vital importance of family support. From the high-pressure world of modeling to the deeply personal process of medical transition, Kai’s story is one of resilience, humor, and radical self-acceptance.

Phoebe joins Trans Crush to share her extraordinary story of growing up deaf, becoming an international male model, and eventually transitioning after years of hiding her identity. Born in New Zealand and later traveling the world through modeling in cities like Sydney, New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, Phoebe spent over a decade performing masculinity on camera while privately struggling with identity, addiction, and self-acceptance. 

After getting sober and finding the courage to transition, she left everything behind and moved to London to start a completely new life. In this episode, Phoebe opens up about transitioning at 25, navigating the queer nightlife scene, DIY hormones, surviving family rejection, and rebuilding her life with the support of the trans community.
