f2m: The Boy Within

Hazel Edwards and Ryan Kennedy

Skye plays guitar in the all-female Chronic Cramps band. Making her name in the punk/indie scene is easier than FTM (female to male) transitioning: from Skye to Finn, from girl to man. Uncovering genetic mysteries about family heritage tear the family apart.

Transgender identity is more than injections and surgery, it’s about acceptance. Going public, Finn sings ftm lyrics on TV. With a little help from bemused mates and family who don’t want to lose a daughter, but who love their teenager, Finn is transitioning.

f2m is a ground-breaking young adult novel, exploring the issue of female to male gender transition through the eyes of a first person narrator undergoing this process.'
