From Pre T to 4 Years on T YouTube Video Collage

[@dharmakanki]

I realize this might sound a little drastic and maybe even stupid to you but I am a guy and am not transgender (nor have an inclination to be), but I can not express how emotional your video made me. I was literally fighting back tears because of the hope/happiness I could see on your face throughout your ordeal, and the strength you show is just so inspiring and amazing. I am really happy for you, for the great (and very handsome!) guy that you are and knowing that you are out there living your life in the world as you made it makes me feel hopeful for us all. I would give you a big hug if I could, but this has to be it I guess. May you be happy always brother!

[@Emree209]

Such an amazing response!

In my opinion I believe that God is a conscience of sorts. It makes people feels better to feel as though some on is listening and helping them, when in reality it is just a coping mechanism out of fear of what is beyond. But I also believe that the only way to get things done is doing it on your own. I'm not positive if god exists (no one is) but I am positive that if god is real and believes in everything awful Christians say god believes in, I want nothing to do with god. So you believe their is a god, I won't.

[@modernviking9709]

Rick Carter We are in America, and frankly your god is a false profit. It was made by men to control women, lock them up, to destroy sex "including circumcision", happiness and free will.. Shame on you for dismissing your true gods ands treating others like the crap you are. Doesn't your religion state not to judge others. Quit projecting you're problems onto others. Hail Oden. May Aydian love a Happy and joy filed life.

[@07Flash11MRC]

@Thomas DeGraw Wow, you really got him there, Mr. Wise Guy Conservatard 🤷‍♂️🙄🤣

[@ainamaree]

"Hey KZbin it's Aydian here UMMMM...." Cool transformation by the way.

[@fodilamrane7267]

Every time 😂😂😂😂

[@arizonakaren]

It's amazing to see how this transition not only drastically changed your appearance and voice, but how you went from someone who seemed very sad and isolated to someone who is absolutely bright and effervescent. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story.

[@taiipotatoie]

"hey guys, it's ayden here uhhhh" lol I got that little phrase stuck in my head. anyways, feeling very happy for you!

[@taiipotatoie]

[@giulianasiciliano6904]

I'm so happy for you! You really look a happier person. I admire you're courage to show public your transformation.

[@AydianDowling]

Giuliana Siciliano Thank you!

[@00Magicmaster]

+insanesalamander going against society and being judged by many transphobic people EVERY DAY is brave. Educate yourself.

[@jamestod5919]

I was thinking the same thing. As he progresses his confidence and brightness just continued to grow. Even the way he sits and stands he physically takes more space. Not an easy road.

[@karinberg5676]

WOW!!! You look so much more comfortable in your own skin looking at that big transformation, and happier!!! Ive been voting for you like a mad one, i hope you go all the way in the men's health cover comp. Either way, you're doing so much for so many, you're a very brave soul.

[@Codemarla]

I'm pretty jealous that I was born male and don't look anywhere near this good and can't grow anything more than a goatee. Good work dude, I hope you can now be happy in your own body.

[@twanvanderdonk2504]

haha, try the same amount of T he used for a year xD

[@jcontreras2986]

Code: Marla i know! i am jealous too. i cant grow a full beard or mustache either. it's quite frustrating.

[@JD-ds2or]

Code: Marla Why? Just take drugs like she did. Not much to be jealous of.

[@laurenm.2166]

Wow it's like watching a set of stairs go up but the steps are confidence & happiness. Really amazing video of your life. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheWesleyGiovanni]

As the video progresses there's a visible change in how natural and confident you are in the videos. I hope when I start T that I have the same boost in my confidence. Great vid!

[@Amoebatirith]

-don't be jealous, don't be jealous- You bloomed so much at 7 months. Man... I'm 8.5 months on T and my changes have been slow. My voice has dropped some, but other than that, not much has changed except growing a bunch of hair on my ass. I'm glad for you, but so envious.

[@jessepinkman4191]

Holy shit. You transitioned incredibly well man.

[@nicothecat]

It's really opened up my eyes to what transgender people go through. You always hear things like "i'm a man trapped in a women's body" etc but this video really has opened my eyes up to what that means. It was just awe inspiring watching how you transformed into the real you. I really wish you well

[@tacoburger5]

facial structure changed a lot

[@ChapmanWing]

Totally inspiring. Good luck with the magazine cover!

[@kichan]

Watching your transformation like this was amazing. Beautiful person through and through! I'm so glad you are able to be you and have the support that you have.

[@I3londie1588]

As I watched this video, I was amazed at how your transition helped you grow noticeably happier and more confident! You are a completely different person by the end! You are an inspiration. I'm so happy you had a good support group and that you've had so much success! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@moontan360]

if you hadn't mentioned the "uhh" "umm"s I probably wouldn't have noticed but from that moment on, that's all I could hear! 😂 too funny.

[@ZanderFoster]

This is such a beautiful compilation. Your journey has been inspiring, and knowing that someone I look up to so much started out just like I did- it gives me hope. You inspire so many people to live authentically. Thank you for sharing your story, and yourself with us all. God bless.

[@veegs23]

Hormones are amazing

[@SebbyNilsen]

[@daxyoung6487]

I just started T last Friday, October 30th, which means we have the same T-day!

[@AydianDowling]

[@davidwick5806]

+ALionsFears Hey, could you give me some tips on coming out to my parents so that I could start on T?

[@fobudomh]

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

[@James-ot2kf]

Congrats on almost two years on T!

[@TheFlyTransGuy]

I happen to be a huge fan of your's, and one of those transguys obviously voting for you to get on the cover of Men's Health, but before now, I had never seen you pre-t and pre-op before this video. Even though I am on T myself now (as of February of this year) I could still never picture myself as reaching the other side of transition. Seeing you there, and seeing you now just gives me so much hope. Thank you Aydian.

[@sharlenemcgilvray8921]

I loved watching your video - a very close friend of mine is going through FTM and I sooooooo admire the courage and belief in herself to become the man she's always wanted to be and feel honoured to be part of his amazing journey. Thank you so much for sharing your video - I know that it will help so many people wanting to become who they truly know they are.

[@missyannp36]

I just found your videos today. It's just amazing to not only see, but hear the transformation in your voice. You were so soft spoken and not outgoing in the beginning. Your confidence and the way you carry yourself is just oozing happiness!! Great for you!!

[@hannibal3256]

I can just hear the confidence in your voice building as the video progressed :o

[@Chrisforder82]

Man you have come so far! I love watching this to see where you were back then to now. You were a little boy who has grown into a fine man! Your an inspiration to so many other guys & girls out there. Keep doing what your doing!!

[@ny007ny]

Wow. I am glad you found happiness and you are finally comfortable in your own skin. Keep being you and congratulations on having the courage to be the real you.

[@ulovevisuals8418]

Thank You for having the courage to share such an intimate part of your life. It was very eye opening to watch your beautiful transition. I wish you the best in life!

[@ryanrodd3048]

You look more and more poised and confident as the video proceeds. By the end you seem like such a different person, more than what just a gender can define; somebody who's comfortable with who they are. Prof enough for me that your transformation was a success.

[@reginaulrich7740]

I never saw this until today and I'm glad I did! You are wonderful and I love you!!

[@oliverwebb762]

I watch you all the time and as much as I try not to I wonder if I will ever look like you, Ty and Chase or if you are all just these unattainable goals. Then I looked at the still, just the still for this video, you must have been Pre-T and you looked a lot like me. Basically an average guy with beautiful eyes and I realized there's nothing special, you just started ahead of me and put in the work. Now I have to then I'll be there with you. I think it's easy for us Pre-T guys to think we'll never get there, that we won't look like that, but we will. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, thank you for being you, without our people like you it would be so much harder to be me.

[@7193212454]

Amazing! I have a friend that did this and is just amazing to see and live with her all that experience and show her that we love her. It also show the others that when you want something it really makes a difference and does makes you happy is worth it. My blessings to you and all your love ones.

[@ItsTimeToRecognize]

Amazing to see the transformation not just physically, but in your confidence and sense of self! You grew brighter and brighter as the time went on! Glad you've found yourself through the process and even though I don't know you irl, I'm mad happy you're so happy! Ps, your wife's a lucky girl! And thank you for being a voice and source of inspiration for others. I was fortunately born mind and body in synch but know there needs to be more support and community for those who dont feel that

[@deactivated-78936]

We live in the same city, Aydian! :) This video makes me so happy. Pre-transition you already had such a masculine facial structure! You were clearly meant for this :)

[@dbrucestevens]

I don't really know what to say that'll really convey what I'm feeling after watching this. Proud of you, maybe? That's not enough (and it sounds patronizing even though I don't mean it that way). I can't really find the words but it's incredibly moving to watch as you become YOU. I've never felt what you must have felt your entire life until now, so I can't image what it's been like for you. But to watch you evolve so beautifully, and to see the confidence and happiness you seem to be feeling now, has moved me to tears. So forgive me if there are typos...I can't quite see my screen. :-) And thank you for sharing so much information. You are helping a lot of people improve their lives and be the person they should be. You are a hero and I love you.

[@Sammaleg]

Such a great video! You can tell how much more comfortable you are in your skin at the end compared to the beginning!

[@eliasfuhrmler2564]

Hey, bro! Just surfing around on youtube looking at videos I haven't seen yet. Ive been following you since I realized I am trans which was about a year and a half ago. Ive been on T for about nine months and I'm loving it...obviously. I appreciate everything you do for all of us, your transparency and your support. Knowing I have brothers out there (since I have lost on of mine due to my decision) makes me stand tall and proud. You rock!!

[@tammyjboudreaux2836]

Thank you for posting. What a transformation into a confident happy young man. Bravo

[@tonberry9930]

Congratulations on your awesome transformation! After seeing your photo for FTM mag I must say you completely outperformed Adam Levine's physique! Awesome work!

[@NymphetaminexXxGrrrl]

This is amazing! I can't believe what a change hormones like testosterone can do to the body. The thought that everyone male or female is born the exact same and that all humans start out as female until hormones are introduced in utero, (or for some later on in life) and than start the body developing as male, never ceases to amaze me. When i hear people say "either your born male or female and that's that, it cant change" i think of the amazing ability of the body to change dependant on a few chemicals or hormones, and how easy it could have been for you or others to develop male at birth. It frustrates me to no end when i hear people say "oh yeah well i identify as an attack helicopter, or a giraffe" and they all miss the one major point... Human beings have the ability to develop male, female, transgender, cisender, intersex, etc.. but humans do not have a "helicopter DNA molecule" or a "giraffe default setting" One is an option whereas the other isnt. This journey you have shown us, proves that the development of the human body comes down to a few hormones here and there, and that you or anyone could have been born with the testosterone that would have made you genetically male to begin with, or that it can be added later, and the body will still respond. Every man on this planet begun their journey as female, until the addition of hormones changed their path, and the clitoris becomes the penis, the vulva becomes the scrotal sac, etc.. (though men still retain nipples after this change) all men have female origins until the addition of hormones changed their body. You just experienced this change later in life than most men :D

[@XigXag]

True.

[@NymphetaminexXxGrrrl]

Arishawa Rae The very definition of a transgender person is that their gender (brain wiring) is different than the sex of their body. The whole point of a trans male, is that they have the brain of a male, regardless of their female body. So yes you are right men and women are different, male and female brains are physically different, but a trans persons brain is wired to be the opposite sex, that is why the body is generally altered to suit the mind, not the other way around. Trying to change the mind to suit the body is disastrous and does not work. However changing the body to match the brain is the best course of action for most trans people. I appreciate that you have been very polite in your comment, but one thing i will say is whether or not a penis functions normally does not make a man. Yes in general a woman is defined as the sex with the ovum, and male defined as the sex producing sperm. However even some cisgender people do not meet this criteria. What about men who do not produce sperm, or have erectile dysfunction, or in some way have their genitalia damaged or removed completely. They do not cease to be men. Also when you say the body will not function normally after hormone replacement because every cell is designed to be a certain way...well that's the beauty of hormones, once testosterone of estrogen are introduced to the system, than the system WILL function in the desired way. The body is quite amazing in how it will respond. Hormones themselves are natural, and the body simply responds to the given hormones.

[@NymphetaminexXxGrrrl]

Arishawa Rae As you said everyone has their opinion. I generally try to make a distinction between fact and opinion. Fetuses in the womb don't exactly have access to social media, from the studies i have seen it is hormones produced by the mother and absorbed by the baby in utero that define whether or not the fetal tissue develops male or female. The process is complicated and occasionally a fetus develops one way in the body (sex) and another way in the brain(gender) i do not believe that gender is a social construct. If that were true trans people wouldn't exist. Think about it... a child born with a penis is declared male at birth and put in blue male clothes and given trucks and sports equipment and while all social expectations and advertising expect and even demand they be male, they just automatically feel and respond as female. There was a very sad but telling story about this. David Reimer. look him up on google. Two twin boys were born and a botched circumcision left one boy without a penis. So they gave him a sex change as a newborn infant, and raised him as a girl in pretty little dresses and female hormones with a vagina and even his brother always grew up believing that was his "sister" So if gender is "as you say" a "social construct" than why would this boy raised as a girl being treated as female and had a complete female upbringing, and no knowledge of "her" intended male sex. Why did this "girl" always feel wrong and hate her body and somehow feel that she was supposed to be a boy? You see trans people often fight against what society wants/expects. So to say they form their gender based off what they are taught just doesn't work. As no amount of teaching someone to be one sex will change what they feel inside (as a result of brain development in utero) science strongly suggests gender is formed in utero before the child is even born. So no matter what messages this child receives in the world they respond to it with either a male brain or a female brain (whichever one they are born with)

[@kimbershark]

It's truly amazing

[@youreoffline4934]

Trust me, we should allow one person who says they identify as a giraffe to transition into one, in anyway possible, using plastic surgeries. Hope they have a happy life

[@Marixpress2]

I am so happy for you. Transgender transformations are so inspiring. Here is this person willing to go through so much so they can be themselves. That is beautiful.
