Press reviews for: Top To Bottom
Dr. Wenn B. Lawson (PhD) CPsychol AFBPsS MAPs
The tongue in cheek phrase 'top to Bottom' explores openly, honestly and candidly, one individual's journey from sexual shame and gender dysphoria, to gender and sexual autonomy. This uncompromising tale inspires and challenges us. As a trans man myself, Finn has always encouraged and motivated me. For helping to dispel fear and those accompanying ghost stories, thankyou can never convey enough! A must read for anyone considering Lower Surgery and those who support us.
Meg-John Barker, author of How To Understand Your Gender and Gender: A Graphic Guide.
Top to Bottom is a wonderful trans memoir and a greatly needed resource for anyone considering phalloplasty. Much more than that though, Finlay's book is a human story of the move towards authenticity and belonging. Told with great warmth, humour, and self awareness, it's a cracking read for anybody.
Ash Palmisciano, TV Actor and Speaker
Top to Bottom - a story you've never heard before but a story that needs to be told. This memoir is universally written, acting as an outstanding guide to any trans man about to embark on this journey but also a fascinating insight into the complexity of being human. Finn is an extraordinary writer, his tone is warm, painfully honest, profound and humorous. I'll be highly recommending this book for years to come.
Dr. Liam “Captain” Snowdon, Genderqueerdo & Co-founder Institute for the Study of Somatic Sex Education
Finn has given us a gift. A timely companion on the journey to advocate for ones own pleasure, hone the hoop jumping skills needed to medically affirm ones gender, and to nurture the community needed to raise a penis!
Fox Fisher - Artist, film maker and campaigner
A grippingly in-depth and honest account of a process that's rarely been told so openly before. Radical, honest and timely.
