    Ashton: "I can be out about being trans, but not about being a UA-camr"

    I'm a nonbinary girl and I could never be stealth. being nonbinary is too important to me and I dont really like to be referred to as a girl except by my partner(s) cause I know they really get my relationship to gender. otherwise I'm like EVERYONE MUST CONFRONT THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF GENDER! I will not be silenced lol

    When you told the story about calling out that homophobic asshole it reminded me of something I did once. I was watching a movie in theaters with my boyfriend (at the time) and it was a pretty gay movie, and every gay scene the guy on my other side kept making pretty homophobic comments, so at the end of the movie I just said

    Even though I'm a non-binary guy, like you, I think I would be comfy with being stealth and I'm even planning on going stealth when I'm older. Also, I like the new background :)

    Stealth would be impossible for me. As a bigender person I perfer to be as androgynous as possible. Having mixture of a feminine and masculine presention. And ppl will always think in a binary way. I never seen anyone (except in queer spaces) assume others were non-binary.

    I like the background! But please try more places to find what you like the best

    I definitely relate to this! It's part of why I wouldn't want to be stealth either. I'd want to be recognized as being nonbinary & I wouldn't want to hide how being trans has impacted my life.

    I think how I feel about going stealth is pretty similar to your feelings. Like, not everyone I ever encounter has to know but if I'm at all close to you you'll probably know because of how much of an impact it has on my life. Also, I like the background! I hope you have a good day!

    I’m a transmasc nonbinary guy and I’m a stealth guy in my school classes but I’m in a lgbt club which I’m out as trans and it is a very weird experience being seen as ‘one of the guys’ I will come out soon but I’m just not ready at this stage

    GOD i wish i had seen this video or anything similar ages ago. i went stealth going into high school and i almost instantly regretted it for really all the reasons you listed, but didn't gather the courage to come back out until recently.

    Passing and being stealth literally don't exist for non-binary peeps, so I love that for me 🙃 I've been having a hard time with that recently (as I do often tbh). I just can't fucking deal with the way I'm perceived, but I can't real do much about that until the world starts to change or rather wake up. And it doesn't help that physical transition is so up in the air for me. It's like being in limbo tbh... Maybe I'll write a poem about that

    The background looks cool. Also I agree because I’m transmasculine so hate when people ask if I’m a boy or girl I just give an awkward breath and walk away

    the background is very nice! haven't started t but get read as male 50% of the time. I'm transmasc so ideally, like you said, people would just somehow know my gender. (except that's not really possible in our society yadda yadda yadda)

    First of all I have exactly the same identity! I’m totally fine with people referring to me as he and a man, and I like it, but I first ventured from they/them into he/him when I noticed that it was a lot easier for society that way. Not that that should dictate your choices/identity/presentation. But yeah I would also consider myself a non binary man who’s happy to be called a man, trans man or ftm, whereas pre transition it was more like I was non binary but just accepted people calling me she all the time.

    a little late to this but it felt really amazing to hear someone say this. i went through a phase where all i wanted was to be stealth, purely because of anxiety and "am i being a good trans person", and it really hit me last week that i wasnt living the way i wanted to. i've been really struggling with that, but this honestly helped so much, so thank you for this ;-;

    Background is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I hope college is good, and that you are enjoying the busyness and thriving but also caring for yourself. I don’t think I’ll ever make the conscious effort to be stealth but in certain situations I might not out myself! Also, your voice in this video just made me think about if there was an Ashton Daniel podcast 😂👍🏻

    I think when I am further along in taking T, and when I have gotten top surgery, I might be somewhat stealthy, but also I like to dress unconventionally.

  • @finn7435

    i feel super similarly to you about being stealth. im also a nonbinary trans boy and use he/they pronouns, so there’s that. i dont think i want testosterone, so ill probably never really pass. i definitely want top surgery, but im probably gonna show off my scars at like any chance i get lol. not to mention i often have at least one trans flag thing on me, a bracelet, pins, patches, etc. in some situations i do like being introduced as my mom’s son, and just having people assume im a cis guy (although my hair is usually some bright color and i only wear skinny jeans, so idk if that ever actually happens), but if i get remotely close to someone they’re probably gonna know im trans.
