    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.
