I have a similar path as a trans person, bridging the gap between spirituality and helping trans people know how loved and accepted they truly are. I’ve been thinking of doing UA-cam for years and being 32 this year ... I think it’s finally time to stop hiding away, spirit keeps telling me it’s time now.. thank you for sharing these thoughts as they totally resonate and are always helpful as reminders. Please keep speaking your truth! Thank you for being here.
I want to thank you. I have been feeling lost and I am seeking truth. I have been asked many times in my life whether I have a role model. Honestly, I have rarely seen someone even close to who I want to be before today. Being transgender can be very lonely. Each of your videos I watched felt like something I have needed to hear. So, I appreciate your work from the bottom of my heart. You are helping people like me come close to alignment.
This is medicine brother. What you're saying here is incredible. FUCKING INCREDIBLE. FUCK. We are definitely apart of the same soul family. I LOOOOVE what you're doing here. Your UA-cam channel is about being an entire human rather than just a trans man. It takes a lot of courage to go against the grain and integrate a more well rounded approach. I just want you to know that you are not alone on this journey!! Before I had my second puberty --I was super into health + mindfulness. I was eating foods that are great for my body -- putting healthy thoughts into my head -- I felt high on life filled with euphoria caused I "hacked" my brain chemistry. I was super content with my life. I transitioned to only become more of myself. I knew that I was already enough as I was. But I felt like taking testosterone was a wise decision for how I wish to express myself in life which was as a male. I actually started getting depressed after taking testosterone. Because I started to ONLY hang out with other trans and queer people. Which was definitely a bubble filled with a lot of hurt and pain and not wanting to address it. A lot of my friends would speak the same way, talk about the same things, have a very similar sense of humor, talk a lot of shit about people, eat unhealthy foods, not take care of themselves, do a lot of drugs. And overall I started to feel drained and sick and out of place -- because all I wanted to do is inspire, motivate, encourage people to eat healthy, spread love. I repressed all of that. I was in denial that this community of people that I feel safe in was actually an unhealthy environment. I started imagining the rest of my life just hanging out in this community. I started feeling a lot of immediate regret. I'm now being super intentional again about hanging out with people for their personality and the energy they emit - rather than me being able to tick off identity boxes. I know first hand that I can live an amazing and fulfilling life as someone who explores gender and sexuality and as someone with dark skin. Naturally I'll ALWAYS migrate toward people who explore gender, sexuality and race in wholistic and conscious ways with an emphasis on evolution. But I'd rather spend time with a healthy, spiritual, entrepreneurial, straight and cisgender person who is loving and accepting of all people, than someone who shares a similar - esque gender identity to me who just wants to talk shit about people all day and eat potato chips. I've recently started my healing journey from this near traumatic experience of social isolation and it's been amazing for me. I've been able to give so much to my community and I feel so much more fulfilled just doin' my own thang. Something I've realized as well is that when I'm confident, healthy and living my highest calling/purpose in life. SO many people are attracted to me. They don't give a fuck about my gender, or sexuality or skin color, they just care about the energy I give to others. This is one of the most beautiful thing about the human experience for me. It's definitely a paradigm shift man. A lot of folks like us won't understand where you're coming from because they haven't felt it. It's a trip. I'm so glad to know that you exist. Incredibly grateful.
As a Spiritual guide who is not trans (although I am certainly queer) I've been carefully observing and meditating on the relationship between divine masculine and feminine, as well as neutral energy. I feel so many of the shifts taking place now, like 'me too', 'times up', and greater acceptance / awareness of transgender issues, are representative of a healing taking place between the male and female polarities. There is a bit of chaos now, but I do feel that we are moving toward a healthier and more inclusive culture. That said, I have had serious concerns about the messaging I've been seeing and I feel your message is a vital course correction. Not everyone, in any group, has the exact same experience. I think you illustrate that so well! I also want to say, maybe especially as a queer person I really empathize with the transgender community. But I'm also scared of speaking about transgender issues from a spiritual standpoint (or any other, to be honest) because I'm clearly not transgender. I think a lot of people would like to join the conversation, ask questions, and develop greater understanding but fear judgement from the trans community in case they accidentally do or say something offensive, may hold them back. This is an aspect I hope to see heal over time. I really respect your message about attending to all matters of the heart, soul and mind. 💛
I found out I was Transgender while on LSD. I felt like I connected with the divine feminine spirit. Like I connected with it more than masculine energy. I noticed that all of my actions, and thoughts were aligned with femininity over masc. I asked someone what it meant to feel more like a girl than a guy, they told me people call that being Transgender, and I identified with that word once I looked it up. I started adding female clothing to my wardrobe and started to notice my gender dysphoria, feeling so uncomfortable in my body to where I was crying for hours over it. I ate shrooms and it told me to stop wearing girls clothes and wear a gender fluid style leaning a bit towards masc. style. This has me confused but it felt right. Now 4 years later I'm not pursuing my trans feelings and It feels like there's something missing. I feel like I want to balance things out a bit more, at least taking on an androgynous look and feeling. That's some of my experience dealing with this issue. If anyone has any advice I would gladly listen. I hope I gave you some insight. 🖤☠️
I want to start off by saying your videos are amazing, and I am so happy that you have found your purpose here. I have been going through a very long awakening. I feel like your videos were the push I needed to start my journey to self love and accept myself. Thank you ❤️
Holy cow! This was very inspirational and informative for an old 57 year old mom like me. I know several trans people and I watch your channel to learn and become enlightened. You are looking and sounding like you feel so much better about life. I am ecstatic for your awesome self!
Lori A. I am so glad it was helpful to you! I really am feeling so much better than I ever have before in my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sending me this affirmation!
This is so very important what you are saying Ashton! I see this as the next stage for many ts people, there has to be this kind of a template of belief and feeling to direct the experience of this trasncending condition, being trans is not going away, but what is bound to go away or we can do is to transmute the energy of gender dysphoria altogether into a very high state of euphoria as you say, one can come through it. It is the same like suffering or feeling the pain, we don't have to be swallowed by pain, but transmute it and come through it to let it guide us peacefully in our destined direction. The existence of who we are is down there inside us, but how we let it navigate us is up to us. It is a gift or a curse, we choose. I know what it is, and I am grateful.
With all due respect, I can not believe that switching genders is the way to go. I’ve tried to reason and see the dilemma on the other foot, but as a man, for another man wanting to cut off his jewels…. I’m 100% sure that’s not the solution. Again I’m not trying to be hateful here or dismissive but after being hit in the nuts numerous times over the years, I can’t even fathom the physical, emotional, psychological, and countless other metrics for pain to describe how devastating castration would be even to someone that was sure they were a woman and 100% wanted to go through the operation. You are clearly passionate and have a way of speaking that’s extremely gifted but I just think it’s completely misguided. Good luck to all who are going through this and I hope you find peace and happiness regardless of what path you go down. If anyone feels disrespected or anything of the like, I apologize as that’s not my intention in any way. I will talk to anyone about anything but when people start refusing to listen to those they disagree with, our intellectual conscious grows weaker. Namaste
Hi Ashton !! Só good this conection of yours with natural energy ... do you also know about xamanism and Astral projection ?? I'm looking for information about these but I find very limited trusted literature about it !!!
Yes! I felt this as a genderqueer person. The vast majority of the visible AFAB nb people are white, slim, shorthaired and flat chested and I thought that was what I had to look like to be valid. Your videos has helped me so much in creating my own narrative, thank you so much! 🙌🏼
I always hear "gender is a social construct." Doesn't that make transgenderism a social construct? I think there's deliberate obfuscation around gender and sex. It's pretty obvious to me transgender people aren't content with being referred to as male women and female men. It would be more accurate to refer to the phenomenon as transsexualism and we all know that you can't change biological sex.
❤💚 Thank you for doing so much to SHAPE the world with your spiritual EXPRESSION.

Ashton you did a great job I love you I think you nailed it for us
For me it’s inner self over my “transgender ness, “ I’m afraid too many others have it the other way around.
C P Why does it have to be one over the other? Why can’t you honor your transness and listen to your higher self?
Your videos are really great! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and perspectives. They're really helping me to feel proud and comfortable with myself.
Dude, as usual, you're nailing it!

Kind of Sempiternal logo
ZachPositronic0 It’s sacred geometry. It’s used in a lot of different ways. 😀
This is sempiternal ♡ :) \m/
Yes! I felt this as a genderqueer person. The vast majority of the visible AFAB nb people are white, slim, shorthaired and flat chested and I thought that was what I had to look like to be valid.
Your videos has helped me so much in creating my own narrative, thank you so much! 🙌🏼
Mikk Totally! I feel similar pressure too when I don’t feel my narrative is represented. I am so happy you are claiming your own!

You are such a benefit to society(NOT)
