About Me
Hello, my name is Finlay Games, but I go by Finn. I’m a writer and speaker covering topics like addiction recovery, gender transition, mental wellbeing, chronic illness, disability, and neurodiversity. I share my thoughts and experiences through blog posts here on my website and video content on my YouTube channel, FinnTheInFinncible.
The name FinnTheInFinncible is a play on my own name, but it also reflects my journey. It speaks to my resilience—through all the hardships, I’m still standing—and my pride in overcoming life’s challenges. Through my platform, I hope to empower others to do the same.
I’ve written a memoir about my phalloplasty journey, Top to Bottom, and I’ve contributed articles and guest posts on various LGBTQ+ topics over the years.
The theme of my website is “Recover Your Life and Rewrite Your Story.” While I’ve evolved over time, this theme has remained constant. My life has always been about rewriting my story. Growing up, I had no clear sense of who I was. I believed what I was told, trying to be the person others expected me to be. For years, I didn’t know I had the option to be anyone else.
I didn’t realise that the mental distress leading me to alcohol was actually gender dysphoria. I didn’t know I was masking my true self to appear neurotypical, which was contributing to chronic anxiety. I was 39 when I realised I was male, and 50 before I understood I was autistic.
Now, finally, I’m living fully as myself—unapologetically. I’ve recovered my life and am actively rewiring my story. Along the way, I’ve found peace and self-acceptance, and I’m proud to share these experiences with others.
In the past, I have spoken at events and conferences, including delivering a TEDx talk, on topics like addiction recovery, gender transition, and mental health. Due to my health, I’ve had to step back from public speaking, and my focus is now on sharing my journey through writing and video content.
I’m also incredibly grateful to have my fiancé, Chris, by my side. Together, we navigate life’s challenges, find joy in the little things, and support one another through the highs and lows. He’s a key part of my story and the stability in my life.
As you explore my videos and blogs, you might also spot Pip, our miniature poodle, who’s become a cherished part of my life since Chris and I brought him into our home. He’s a constant source of comfort and joy through the ups and downs of my journey.
Thank you for visiting my space—I’m so glad you’re here.
