Female to Male: Pre transition to 18 Months on Testosterone | Ashton Colby

[@AshtonColby]

It's so silly when people comment negatively or dislike my videos. I have to pity them more than anything because they clearly do not have enough empathy for their fellow human being to understand what a transformation to true happiness looks like. I have never loved myself more than I do when I look in the mirror everyday. Individuals who hate on other people can not genuinely do not love themselves. I only mourn for those people who have yet to learn the value of self love. I hope one day everyone is able to experience the joy I have found by truly being myself. Thank you all for your support! :) I read every comment and love hearing what you have to say. Much love, -Ashton

[@mjareacts2731]

I wish I could agree with your statement but you was a beautiful female.

[@Carito112]

No los oigas, Animo!

[@Loretotot]

then why pay attention to them?

[@jdc1up]

you're amazing :) and you look amazing :) stay happy :)

[@AshtonColby]

Loreto Astudillo I don't, typically I just read the first sentence of a comment and if it is negative I just delete it. I have the ability to ban people from my channel and it comes in handy. :)

[@AshtonColby]

Some people are so deeply unhappy. When they see other people taking a leap to become happier, against all odds, and it pays off they get upset because it scares them. They are too deeply unhappy to self-examine why they need to hate me for doing them no harm at all. Truly happy people have no reason to tear others down. :)

[@ghostsoul4295]

+Ashton Colby Amazing transformation, Your awesome

[@AshtonColby]

SRTUV1 Ah, misogyny, a fickle friend.

[@MtWho]

+SRTUV1 Ah, what a waste of breath.

[@SRTUV1]

Mt. Who What an irony, says it the one who identifies itself as a Non-binary person.

[@Traina]

+Ashton Colby You look good as both a woman and a man.

[@iqraqureshi7916]

Chill out people . It's his life he can do what ever he wants . No need to be so judgemental

[@iqraqureshi7916]

***** well yeah I find it very fabulous 😏

[@derrick.t4031]

***** OOoooooooHHhh Got'em! #Shotfired also yeah, I agree with you.

[@stephaniecofer249]

Iqra Qureshi Right on

[@NosferotikaBr]

The last comparison picture is the BEST. This video is awesome. Thank you for making it.

[@kimberlydavis7186]

I applaud your courage and bravery for not caring what other people think and daring to be yourself! This is inspiring!

[@nataliascalvenzi5553]

I get so freaking impressed with what science can do these days! Your video brought tears into my eyes, congratulations! :D

[@AshtonColby]

Natália Scalvenzi Thank you! I'm glad you got something out of it. Taking hormone therapy for transgender people is actually a science that is several decades old. It's not as modern of a concept as people think but because transgender people are becoming more accepted it seems like it is a new thing. :)

[@nataliascalvenzi5553]

Ashton Colby Oh, I see. But to me it just seems almost unbelievable.. hehe. Btw, do you plan on getting the bottom surgery?

[@AshtonColby]

Natália Scalvenzi There is a video about it one my channel FTM Transition: Bottom Surgery Plans I made this about 6 months ago so some of opinions in the videos have changed. I'm going to make a part 2 updated version soon.

[@yajairasantos3844]

Ashton Colby was there any scarring when u had ur breasts removed and the bottom surgery ? if not , how long did it take to heal completely?

[@wifidude98]

To me you looked like a guy even in the first picture. I showed my boyfriend as said 'Dosen't she look like a guy?' And he was like 'yeah' and then i said well the picture on the right is how he look now and the one to the left was how he looked before

[@sethclayborn8791]

+The Gayming Tube Yeah, some of us you would never guess pre-transition that we're not the gender of our sex, except there's usually quite a bit of pain carried around the eyes. Others you can almost see the energy of their true gender shining through. I wonder what the difference is...

[@Selphie1987]

For me, within the first 2 pictures of you after starting to take T, I could blatantly see how much happier you were. The fact you felt brave enough to share you Amazing story shows just how much you wanted to change. I'm always happy to see people making themselves better because they need to. You're a handsome devil don't let anyone tell you different. :D I'm so glad I watched this video.

[@howardgordo7714]

even as a woman you still looked quite handsome and masculine. odd.

[@peacefullizard8180]

Before transition though you were smiling, it looked so half-hearted. From your videos during and after transition you look so much happier. I don't know why it's so hard for people to recognize the true self. Thanks for sharing your journey to be the man you always knew you were.

[@AshtonColby]

Peaceful Lizard Thanks! :)

[@heyjeySigma]

yep. looks better as a guy. He/she didnt have a very feminine face to begin with, so the transition was very nice and smooth.

[@TheUberwolves]

Fairly sure it's just he, but I suppose that's up to him. XD

[@AshtonColby]

heyjeySigma It's never okay to call someone he/she. It's he. I transitioned to male.

[@anikahussain1275]

its so nice to see the transformation of how happy he looks at the end compared to at the start.. n honestly anyone hating is probably just jealous bcus he looks freakin hot

[@kitterzy]

This vid made me cry. My son is 14 and he's on the same journey you have been on. I can't wait to see him turn into the handsome man like you have become! I loved him as a little girl and I still will love and support him every day of his transition. {{Hugs}} Thank you for this post. ❤️

[@boxingmatch]

Good luck to your son and to you!

[@AshtonColby]

+Nicole G. That's beautiful! Thank you for sharing! :) You're son will grow into an amazing man with a parent who is as supportive and loving as you. It maybe difficult at times but it will be so worth it to see him in his eyes when he starts to see the man he knows he is.

[@AshtonColby]

+bennett for senate :) I'm a transgender man because I transitioned to a man. Your classmate would be a transgender boy. I was confused when I first heard the different terms too. I'm glad you are seeking out information to learn.

[@AylaMarianna]

+Nicole G. Wow, now YOU'RE bringing tears to my eyes! What an incredibly supporting and amazing parent you are! Your post is truly inspirational. That's the kind of parent I hope to be one day. I wish you both all the best!

[@OliveDeuce]

Kitterz aweee you’re an amazing parent

[@pistacchiolino]

Dude, as externally beautiful as you might have been pre transition (no offense meant), there is totally NO comparison on how you look more natural and at ease after transition.. and I don't even know you.. it's the first video of you that I see and it's just so obvious! Happy to see you're in a good place, it's just awesome!

[@lalala2324]

My boyfriend is F to M trans and this video makes me so happy

[@MombieApocalypse]

What I LOVE about this video: In every shot, just smiles and smiles and smiles. So much joy, and I'm so happy for you.

[@OokamiG]

You are a hottie! congrats on the transition and being happy!

[@QuirkyShiny]

Seconded!

[@AshtonColby]

***** QuirkyShiny Thanks! :)

[@raptorer87]

All these kinds of videos are like the best success/motivational stories. For me its just inspiring to see how happy people can be with themselves. It's a rare thing.

[@FlawlessKevin]

Wow such an inspiration! And boy are you handsome :)

[@donfallos1659]

I'm happy for you mate. You take pride in who you are and you had no fear to go through with it. I wish you the bestest luck in life. Stay strong.

[@jaimeeiswriting]

This really shows a lot of things.. But for me starting my transition to female it meant so much that me 18 months down the road i could be the woman i have always wanted to be :)

[@SirenCharles]

Wanted?.. Your gonna be the girl you always where meant to be

[@miaauten8906]

^ don't be ignorant

[@SirenCharles]

How? That's how it was supposed to be said you can't just want a vagina or be transgender there's a lot of things that lead to it Like When someone call you "he" or a "boy" you get sad\mad When your showering and looking at your self you feel uncomfortable You Don't give 100℅ in your school work cause your thinking about how it would be if you Where born a girl\boy or wear a Dress etc One other one is your scared to talk to people (it is Different for everyone though)

[@simsluver213]

Siren Charles I think what the OP is saying is that she's finally getting the body she's always wanted. I also don't see your original comment as being ignorant, it just may as come off as bad.

[@lethalvanity]

the amount of times i have come and watched this video is uncountable. it makes me so happy to see the genuine smile in his face as he transitions into who he was and is meant to be. ashton being in a female body is not what was meant for him. he was not happy and for people to be saying he threw everything to waste bc he was "way prettier female" is absolutely horrible. it does not matter if he was the most beautiful female in the world. that is not what he wanted nor felt was right. he did not want to be trapped in a shell of what was holding him back from being whole he truly is. this is what HE wants. what he wants shouldn't affect you in any way. let him be happy. i am not normally the person to write a comment but going through the comments on this video made me so sick to see how people were treating you. you are so strong and an all around amazing person ashton.

[@MohamadAlb]

This makes me so happy!!!!! I can't wait til I transition to a female. You're so beautiful and when I saw how happy you were transitioning it just made me so happy for you and good luck in life

[@littleya0628]

You are a brave man. It's good to see a man who loves himself more than before.

[@COLA888]

You are absolutely gorgeous! Be who you are and be happy! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

[@AshtonColby]

Thank you for receiving the positive message of this video! ⭐️☺️

[@stevieterry9788]

+Ashton Colby you did a great job

[@andieblack1240]

This made me so happy.. I'm trans, FtM I've known for the past year, and I've recently come out to my mother(being that I still live with my parents since I'm only 16). My mother has always been accepting of me, but she doesn't seem certain that this isn't just a 'phase'. And it just makes me happy to see so many success stories about people who are on T and who are transitioning, because I know it's going to be another year or so before I can start because my parents are 100% on board. Congratulations, by the way for the amazing amount you've come. :D

[@AshtonColby]

Hang in there!! Even if they don't accept you right off the bat they might come around. You would be surprised! Getting a chance to be yourself is worth the wait. It's hard when you are younger but one of these days you will be able to completely live the way you feel and it will be worth it! :D

[@andieblack1240]

My friends are really great with it. But it's really awkward because I'm extremely open about it. And other people don't get it because I can't bind and am rather endowed (groans), and I've been told that I'm not allowed to call myself a guy because I'm a girl. Which saddens me. Tremendously. But thank you so much for the supportive message!

[@AshtonColby]

Andie Black Some people won't understand. It is not your job to make them comfortable. You have to know who you are inside and know that no one else can tell you otherwise. People in my own family told me the world would never see me as a guy, it hurt. I proved them wrong and you will too! Don't lose hope and don't compromise who you are for others. I used to think that trying to please everyone around me would make me happy but it didn't work. Know who you are and no one can take that away from you! Hang in there! It will be worth, I promise.

[@maaaaximeable]

I'm amazed by some of the stupid comments !! To the OP: well done man !! It takes a lot of courage to do what you did. Hope you are finding the happiness you deserve ! 

[@AshtonColby]

I am! :) Thank you for the support.

[@KaydentheWolf]

Damn! You're my transition goals, man. I have my first appointment with a doctor to talk about T next week and videos like this just get me so damn excited :D

[@johnhilbert7640]

If I had a friend who was born a female I'd be: "That's pretty fucking awesome, dude."

[@noahsharp7154]

Congratulations, dude. You're an inspiration. I've been umm-ing and ah-ing about this myself for years, not because I wasn't sure I wanted to but because it scares the crap out of me, but I finally got myself an appointment to talk to someone. I only hope I look as good. :)

[@KaylindaBeauty]

You appear to be such a happy, positive individual! :) You will always be more than your outward appearance, and it is truly amazing that you have been able to transition and be/feel who you are! You are so very brave, and it is for people like you, as well as those who are less brave and less positive, that I will always be a strong Trans ally, and I will always strive to make a difference in issues of social justice and acceptance! Great video! Stay strong! :)

[@AshtonColby]

Kayla Yother I appreciate the support! It means a lot. Keep using your position as an ally to give trans people a voice and you will make a difference! :)

[@NeonGreyscale]

Wow man, you transitioned WELL. This video gives me hope. I hope one day I'll be able to make a transition video, and maybe I'll be glad enough to not be ashamed to show my pre-transition pictures in it.

[@bluBlaq33]

I'ma gay cis dude, and you became such a cutie! I would totally date guys like you! Actually honestly even in your birth gender you had a masculine face, just cutting your hair you already looked like a boy, but the glad your the person you always were, a cute guy.

[@beautypolice205]

im so glad you finally feel like yourself, this makes me so happy

[@LittleMissCrista]

You look so happy and happier as you get closer and closer to your true self. This was so uplifting to watch. Thank you for sharing your story and congrats on finding your way, Ashton.

[@jayziegler6754]

I too am unhappy with my gender uh, currently I'm a female but I'm taking steps into becoming who i truly wish to be. I am so astonished by this and I'm so happy for you! Glad you're doing well Ashton.

[@GinAmber]

wow amazing, I see your smile changed a lot, Im very happy for you ! :)

[@hannahnicole8689]

I'm so happy for you!! You look so excited to feel free in your own skin. Congratulations

[@emilyhorne1733]

Congratulations on your transition! You deserve all the happiness in the world, and I am so pleased for you that you can finally become who you've always been. A man. 100% support!

[@Chloede_]

I know this video is almost 2 years old and I don't know you personally but I wanna say how proud I am of you as a person, taking that leap to become you, to stop existing and start living as you were intended to be. I'm not the intended demographic for this video and I'm not really sure how I ended up here but I'm glad I did! :) It's incredible what our bodies can do and how they change, amazing and super interesting! Congrats on being closer to the real you! Also you have great music taste!

[@heatherriley9657]

Excellent video! Congratulations on your success with a difficult journey. I admire your good attitude and you seem like a really cool guy. I hope life is good for you. Best wishes, Heather.

[@OliverReagan]

i cant believe people are trying to change you. like, its not something you chose. and it shouldn't matter to them. if you're happy, thats all that matters. at the end of the day, there are still sooo many people that'd be happy to be where you are, dont let the ones that dont agree bring you down :) im happy that you got to where you wanted to be and i hope one day this can be me ☺️😘 take care !!

[@alecia345]

Seeing stuff like this makes me so happy. I'll never really understand your struggles, I've never experienced anything like that, but I am so happy that you're comfortable with yourself love! I don't know you, but I am SO PROUD OF YOU! Congratulations, darling.

[@PapiyoneVineland]

Your smile, all through the process, is contagious. I'm moved, I was about to shed a tear of joy just by looking at your face... I don't know you or watch your videos regularly but I'm so happy for you. :)

[@TheAnnaPhylaxis]

Wow, Ashton...you are gorgeous. And courageous. I say this because I know a few who have transitioned from male to female, and they range from being abandoned by their families to being fully and wholly supported. I have a friend in Baltimore who is trying to help a beautiful trans girl get off the streets. I am the mother of a gay Son and pansexual Daughter, and I'm so proud of who they are. Keep on rocking. Always evolve

[@mimij16]

This made me cry! Your journey looks absolutely beautiful, I'm so happy for you. I know it's hard to struggle with identity and I just want to say that your love and passion for being who you really are is so so inspiring. The world needs more people like you. :) Keep doing what you're doing, you're glowing!

[@LexieLouLou]

What a cutie pie! Congrats on your transformation :)

[@Cosmiclight475]

+charlie hernandez He is a male on the inside and now he's becoming one on the outside. Why is that so hard for you to understand can I ask?

[@Cosmiclight475]

***** Actually you're wrong I'm afraid. Science and psychology says that he is a man on the inside. It's called being transgender, look it up if you're a fan of science and psychology. Who knows, it might cure your ignorance.

[@AshtonColby]

+charlie hernandez I would argue that this "spontaneous loss of feelings" is most likely due to society pressuring children to conform to very strict norms of gender. I remember when I was very young feeling like a boy and when I was about 9 it would seem I "spontaneously lost these feelings". However, clearly, now looking back the feelings were always there but pushed so deep down if anyone asked me I would have said they were crazy for even asking if I felt like a different gender. People like you don't consider that people like me also, at one point, felt exactly like you do, which is that transgender people are crazy. The reality is I'm not the one trying to convince another person over the internet that they don't exist. ;) Additionally, have you ever considered that the suicide rates are so high because there are ignorant people like yourself hating on transgender people like it is their job? I can tell you that I used to think that surgery would solve all my problems because non-transgender people are so obsessed with my genitals if I just got surgery my life would be easier and they would accept me as male. The reality is that transgender people are hated on with or without surgery so I can imagine why some would kill themselves after surgery when they continue to get hate but can do nothing more to their body. Really consider what I am saying. Society's ignorance and hate is much more toxic than transgender people simply existing.

[@elahedrk]

i am so glad to see people who can have the life that they deserve , i am iranian and i support what u did , wish u have a good life dear Ashton i wanna see the day that every single HUMAN in all of the world support this kind of surgery

[@kzv0087]

Absolutely 💖💖💖 keep it up cutie! Your happy n its all that matters! 😊

[@teamholmez86]

why all the hate people he ain't hurting u so if for whatever reason u don't like or agree with gender surgery exc then don't watch his videos there is no need to be nasty!! what he has done is very brave especially sharing his experiences on here, no matter what you think he is a person show him some respect and just leave him alone don't bother watching if u don't like it no one's making you!!!!

[@MaddieSheaVB]

Very inspirational (and an incredibly attractive outcome tbh). I know that I'm a girl, but I also enjoy crossdressing and I feel comfortable in both genders. When you were younger were you tomboy-ish or did you try to cross dress? Anything that hinted that you were trans*?

[@AshtonColby]

It's okay to feel comfortable in both genders. There is no right or wrong way to express yourself in that way. You don't really have to pick on or the other or anything like that. I think what really made me know I needed to live the rest of my like as a guy was when I couldn't picture myself growing old as an old woman. I didn't want to be a mother or wife, I wanted to be a husband and a father.

[@alexaparis7766]

This is awesome. You dont look like you were ever suppose to be a girl. You look amazing. This looks like who you were always meant to be.

[@DustinGuillotte]

This was absolutely amazing and I must say you are quite the handsome fella :)

[@danielasylvester]

I don't know you, but your smile through all your videos show a man that looks happy and satisfied with himself. I'm truly happy that you are happy. Wish you the best! :)

[@rachaelmcallister3133]

You are so attractive in every way. Body, mind and face :) Please don't change (besides the ones that are planned!)

[@alexanderpozarlik7170]

hai i can describe how much this made me cry. it works and works well. im 16 and trans and this for some reason this made me cry and smile because it means that there is hope and a future and that i dont have to feel trapped -Alex Pozarlik

[@afookinpunkasskid3696]

It's videos like this that give me the strength to continue my transition! You're such an inspiration for me and other young trans boys. It makes me sad to see these transphobic comments, but all that matters is that you're yourself! :3

[@annabellewilson0101]

I don't even know you but I am so proud of you. I'm in tears. Just this video is so inspiring. I felt so connected to you. You are a wonderful,an. Don't listen to anything anyone else says. Your so inspiring and life changing. ❤❤

[@NicoleTS]

awwww you are a cutie :) so happy for you :)

[@babyimmafool]

You are beautiful inside and out and I applaud you. Especially in the cruel, judgmental world we live in. You are someone people should look up to. Your courage is something to be proud of. I hope that one day my daughter hears a story like your's or finds what she wants in life, no matter what it is, and takes the chance and goes for it. You are so strong and I loved watching this. Might I add that you are extremely attractive as well? Haha. Icing on the cake of course. Keep up the positive vibes man. Keep inspiring. Tonight, you changed a life and opened a mother's eyes. That's awesome.

[@AshtonColby]

Heather Cain Wow! Thank you for this!! My mom is really unsupportive of me so if I could have an impact and open the eyes of someone else's mother it really makes this all worth it to me. Messages like this from people are just as healing to me as I hope my videos are to others. That is why I post these videos: to change people's perspective.

[@babyimmafool]

I just saw this like, 9 months later. What in the world?! Well, I'm super glad to have sent out some positive vibes with my feedback. Hope you are doing well :)

[@susannekramer2359]

You look good as both woman and man, but you seem a lot happier as man. Well done!

[@jj_mccarron]

as a gay cis guy, i'm just so intrigued in the whole trangender thing and just watching this, its just incredible how much the body changes because of this hormone! good luck in the future man!

[@nugatory626]

I'm happy for u!)) U have an amazing SMILE ;D

[@vanessatornero8961]

this video made me so happy , people make change not to look better but to feel better to feel them , Noone should judge that ♡

[@Sandymoorewrites]

Ashton, congrats to u! The comments people make blow my ever-lovin mind. If they're so against gays, trans, etc.. Wtf are they doing searching out and watching your video that CLEARLY states what it's about? You were/brave to acknowledge and follow through with what you needed to be happy and for being courageous enough to share it with the world. Fuck the douche bags. :)

[@mw8926]

Hi Ashton, I just watched your video i'm not usually a massive youtube watcher so i didn't realise there were videos on here like this. I just have to say i am amazed. This one video made me cry so hard. You are so beautiful :) And i dont mean as a male or as a female but just in the way you are from what you have shown us when sharing your journey. I cant even begin to imagine how hard it must be on the bad days when people criticize but on those days i'd just like to say for you that some people spend their whole lives not knowing who they are or how they feel and i am so so proud and think its so beautiful that you do. It is people like you who give me a little hope in humanity. I wish i knew myself even a tiny bit as much as your decisions show that you now know yourself. I wish you the happiest life ^_^ Kindest Regards, Moondie.

[@HomerJade]

this is amazing, so happy for you dude

[@dinodogstar]

As a gay guy, I'm watching people so generously share your story, and I'm more than sure it's helping trans-people as well. And as a privileged white gay guy too, i recognize i and others like me have a responsibility to make the country and the world to be tolerant and accepting, as the door has been opened at least to some extent ifor us in that way,. Stay safe and well, and know that many of the L's G's and B's are trying to do their part to make inclusivity for the letter " L : " and not by that signaled acronym alone.

[@ashbradford]

I've always said that females can turn into amazing men. You are so cute as a guy! I know some people will argue that the genital portion of the transition is more final and convincing for guys, which I guess is true, but everything aside from that Transotions look better F to M. Really women do make better men 90% of the time then men do women. Plus women turn into really hot men a lot of the time.

[@AshtonColby]

Conceptually I don't feel like I was ever a woman. I just discovered I was a man. I don't even describe my journey as "when I was a woman". I just say "before I transitioned". If I ever was woman I wouldn't have needed to transition.

[@Angiidoll]

Do you have to keep taking T for the rest of your life?

[@shuyazalame]

Yes otherwise their bodies revert back to how they were naturally. Their estrogen levels rise again

[@teamholmez86]

[@sethclayborn8791]

+Angii Heads up to anyone out there questioning transition, the answers people are giving here are only half-right. There's a list of what will be permanent and what will change without continued testosterone therapy. Anyone who is questioning transition should find a better source for these questions.

[@DeathhsLegacy]

Man, this is absolutely amazing. You look so much happier now than you did before. In my honest opinion, it looked like that your pre-transition smiles (at least from what I could tell by the pictures) look forced. It's tough being in the wrong body....it honestly is tough. You are so brave and awe inspiring. You dared to be yourself in a judgmental world, and man, you really succeeded. You have the most beautiful smile. I can tell you are a billion times happier now, and it brings a smile to my face knowing you can now live freely and happy. I feel like there is so much more I can say, but I don't want to make this comment too long, so I'll end it here by saying that I greatly applaud your courage in taking the step to becoming who you really are. The result is absolutely astounding!

[@shikukimani4443]

i have to say that you are the one person i connect with online.its like you are the brother i wanna have.I know most of us trans folk wanna kill ourselves most of the time at the thought of who we truly are in a society full of ignorant and mean people. When i watch your videos am happy because you make me see that one day ill be able to be who i truly am. Thank you Ashton for sharing your story.I honestly wish there was an online programme i could connect with people like you.Thanks for making a difference in this world.I hope one day ill do the same for somebody

That means a lot to me. We can be brothers LOL. I connect with a lot of other trans men on Facebook groups!

[@natgard92]

were you gay before transitioning?

[@maxhernandez9815]

Loved this video, I was smiling the whole way through it. I am also transgender and after watching this video, It makes me realize i am not that alone, you clearly turned out great and i'm happy for you c:

[@MichiRuka7]

How old were you when you started transitioning?

[@AshtonColby]

19 almost 20. :)

[@dianegrainger3905]

It's always the expressions changing from not happy to smiling that show me how good transition is for people like us. Also a bit of confirmation when others say you look better as the gender you identify with than the one you were born into.

[@darlingnikki8807]

You are BEEEEEEEEEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!! When you get comments from ignorant dummies, remember something Neil Patrick Harris said... "So you have something to say about my lifestyle? Ok, which one of my bills are you paying this month??" Lol I love him.

[@leapoffaith28]

congrats on your transition. I am glad that you feel more like you now. Also have to say - LOVE your NEEDTOBREATHE music choice. ;)

[@Max_Jordan]

if miley cyrus took testosterone...

[@AshtonColby]

LOL That is a new one. Made me chuckle.

[@SuperMondSonne]

Thank you for sharing, you don`t know how much this means right now to me. Always listen to what your heart says. You did the right thing, you wanted to be happy and finally are. I`m so happy to see you happy :D

[@angels15us]

[@Anorak3010]

This is so inspirational! Thank you!!! I'm recently coming out as a GQ, Female to Nom-binary person. The Journey has just began for me. So great to see what's possible!

[@kitterzy]

I'm curious. Is that the same as being gender fluid?

[@AshtonColby]

+Nicole G. It depends on how the individual identifies.

[@Anorak3010]

+Ashton Colby +Nicole G. No. Ashton is right. I defined Non-binary for me as more androgynous strongly leaning toward masculine. (Trans masculine). That waa static for me not fluid. I didn't deviate from wanting to *Not* be female. However after more soul searching I realize I am an FTM and will be transitioning as such. I just believe in defining masculinity on my own terms to be my own man. Thanks for asking.

[@Redboy-bm8gr]

before transition you looked like a boy in a girls body. just saying btw your amazing!!!😉

[@coolioXD88]

I've seen so many male to female transformations that seeing this was really interesting in a good way. hope you're happier and love yourself now (:

[@4chrystsake262]

Sup bro, looking to meet some new pals. Going back on T soon

[@AshtonColby]

Kosher Organicz Hey! :)

[@4chrystsake262]

What's going on bro?

[@Wonderfullcrazy]

even from just the photo for this video, it shows you look so much happier and authentic now. you're right, being a pretty girl in societies eyes isnt going to cover the inner spirit

[@NoddyMaccy]

Fair play to you for having the guts to do it! There are probably so many people male/female struggling! So long as you're happy, stick a middle finger up to the haters!

[@ranXd0m]

You go, man!! You look SO much happier as the video continues. You inspire me to accept myself and look forward to the future as I transition more
