Transgender Vlog5: A New Life in DC

[exor2222]

voice make me puke

[yeahohyeah]

you're beautiful

[The1Unmarkable]

@AshleyMartin nothing you post is boring. I would like to know...anything about you. "Uhh, umm..yea how does that help?" IDK! I'm affraid of being a creep an getting banned. You are awsome, beautiful, strong, and confident.

[music6add9]

wow... :) nice...

[oncaparinga1]

Ashley, you are very pretty, very feminine and definitely a girl :) You are making the right choice and are very lucky to have so many people behind you. go for it!!

[The1Unmarkable]

She's great.

[learflyer2]

you look very pretty , very sexy looking .

[tgcyndi]

Ash, that cowlneck sweater is cute on you. Tell Kyle to get some fashion sense. Also, work on your voice NOW, while you're still young, before the poisonous testosterone f*cks things up.

[lifterforlife1983]

Estrogen injections you would be happy with ;)

[CrapMcPoopin]

8====D

[bobbysmith000]

i like that habit of grabbing your foot . it's cut. may be you should do a foot video for us??

[DumbDuck44]

too many "uhms" and your girl voice sucks! =p

[somthingsomthing]

your voice was really good in that last sentence.

just the last sentance, not sure why.

[jacobterriify]

ur pretty smart, & seems like u have ur "shit" together already. ur a knockout, & i shudder to think how amazing ur gonna look down the road. i think alot of people agree too...

[joenobody13]

heheh, c'mon up to new england. we can have some chowdah and i'll help you refine your accent. i'll even teach you the difference between Boston, Rhode Island, and Maine accents. you'll be rooting for the Patriots in no time. lol

[ki012008]

hi i'm from DC too well actually near like 30 minute to 45 minute.

[AllHailLordKabuto]

"Whoosh, whoosh". Hehe I love you. :3

[liliferd]

this video is fantastic! i try not to watch my vids before i post them or else i dont think i ever would!

[Calliopeice]

Ummm

[gtrman2002]

So lovely

[gtrman2002]

Lovely lady, indeed.

[mzkellievictoria]

this is retarded!

[GROZNAYA]

get some bigger tits

[Ashleetorin]

Get a bigger brain and a smaller libido. She's a petite girl, and she's beautiful as she is.

[TheCastellan]

I prefer petite girls myself. Yesh, Ashlee, she's very pretty. ^_^ Wish I could find more like her in Michigan.

[imapimpalimp]

lolz "if your broke you cant be trans....so yeah i dont really have a job"

[heyas401]

ur so flipping funny

[LexiSatisfaction]

I'm loving it! Hilarious! I never know what to say either... I'm thinking this next video I will talk about my transition or at least mention I am transgendered. Alot of my friends don't even know O.o

[withoutasong]

you seem really cool and cute, what part of england are you in.?

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

wut?

[LookingGlassThecure]

emo hair cut..

[sweetheart4890]

lol. you really do seem really uncomfortable with doing these videos, but you seem like you are getting more comfortable with them. would you ever be comfortable with doing makeup videos? or soemthing like reviews or hauls or soemthing?? it's a really nice community and not much haters like vlogging vids. you should check into it. i do stuff like that. makeup tutorials and hauls and reviews etc. it's a request incase you are wondering. or it's just a suggestion. idk. check it out! =)

[MAIDINHEELS]

I found you on flickr, your Transgender Vlog's are an insperation to all who are traped like me. I should have been born a girl. Thank you from me and all like me for showing the world that one person can make a difference. I hope that you will do a Q&A vlog with your Mom as I know that it would help me with my Mom. You seem very happy and have great friends around you for surport.

thanks again your friend nancy

[cdeeko]

Keep up the videos. They keep me encouraged and interested.

[trulywished]

I don't think any of these are boring, you're so cute and it's fun to watch you be you. I'm working my way through the blogs and they are all interesting. Keep up the good work, you look wonderful. And happy, you look really happy.

[chilipepper0791]

"It's Been Longer Than Two Weeks Live With It." That is the way you should start all your blogs. I don't aploigize for not doing something you don't always have time for. Subcribers won't care, they are interested in Ashley being Ashley. Don't worry to much about the subject matter either, just keep doing what your doing. I watched all five blogs and its entertaining just watching you be you. When the horomones start to take real effect, you should describe what your going through.

[Maxtime123]

too SEXY!

is that real boobs??

or Plastic surgeries??

[Maxtime123]

just too sexy!!!

[aria212121]

hey, Im 25 y.o boy, I like u, u are so so so hot and make me hot tooooo. :*:*:*

[xJayleighxDarlingx]

"i look like i'm wearing a towel or something!"

you are just too cute

i love you're videos!!!

xox

[john91722]

Go for the emo girl look.

[katie1987xxx]

if you hate faggots, blink once now

[chilipepper0791]

What a narrow minded little girl. katie1987xxx needs to walk in someones else's shoes. Why don't you take sometime katie and eduate yourself on something you have no idea about. Go get a book or read something on the internet about transgenderism. Don't use words that are sharper than you can handle missy. And if your going to use words like faggot , why don't you put up a video blog so everone can see what a real bigot looks like.

[imaboybutwannabeagir]

your cool and pretty and i wanna be a girl and as pretty as you one day

[bruinslove30]

I've just watched all 6 of your videos. All i have to say is that you have some Guts to do this...It's hard enough to just Vlog, but to document a topic like a gender change takes some guts!

Good for you!

[etereys7]

Hahahaha! Ashley, you being yourself confused as to what to say just has me rolling, you know! haha!  Just the candidness of it all is priceless. lol. :D Thanks for the humor. :p

Wooo~~!!! Over 1,000 subscribers and "I don't know what to fucking say!" lmao. ;D

[takeonescreen]

People from Boston are really mean though. They always give out wrong directions when you ask for directions, working-class Bostonians are the worst offenders, they think its really funny, like if you were from Harvard you would know where you are going and wouldn't have to ask for directions. Boston is even more bland than Washington D.C., bland, cold, dull. You can get the best clam chowder between Boston and Maine, clams the size of quarters you can't get anywhere else in the country....

[okokokok86]

just gorgeous

[yumekari]

dont let it stress you out sweetie :)

[Jensagirl]

you are funny as hell, I am going to skip to your latest vlog to see if you have a job and how your laser is going

Keep it up and you look very pretty

[AustinElliott69]

wow!

you are beautiful!!

thank you for all that you do.

you are really clearing up a lot of questions that i have.

it means alot. thank you so much

[7654321oooo]

Great video :)

[charnboy25]

so seductive...

[noonibss]

u r so coooooooooooooooooool

& pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[kittenPants9]

those sweaters are usually refered to as negative cleavage

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

The blue one? (my roommate hates that one)

[tsashly]

Goodluck

[tsashly]

Goodluck in all you do !!

<3Ashly

[etheryee]

you are so cute. I really want to be a girl like you

[xxjokeryy]

thanks for vlog updates anyway. Sorry they are stressful. I was in your place a year or so ago, but had to put things on hold for a while. I ended up deciding not to go with laser for the hair, and it hurt like hell after starting hormones. Have to wait for hormones until hair is done I guess. Glad you are working out job stuff. I still have lots to do before I can make the next decision.

Thanks again.

Ellen

[ChilledZen]

"If you're broke you can't be trans." True, and the story of my life.

[ediepassion]

very pretty babe

[Dominoblox]

You make me smile. I'm so glad so many people are accepting to this lifestyle here on Youtube. It must be hard to deal with ignorance of the world...

Good luck with everything in your life! You're so gorgeous. ♥

[nafet]

Anything except take off your clothes? You pre-empted my comment :(

[musicmagelynn]

Oooh... I want to hear you practice your New England accent!

[shortcutebutch]

Boston rocks!

[donkeyfly69]

"you like a boston accent? oh wow!"

too funny

[Optimuspot420]

Wow you are so cute.

[favnumber9]

$800 a month fuck u can get a 3 bedroom house for that in new zealand

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

and it's a deal!

[AdamtoEve]

$800? You can't even rent a shoebox in San Francisco for that!

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

Well, that's my half. What about $1600 for a two bedroom apartment in SF?

[AdamtoEve]

Depends on the neighborhood. You MIGHT be able to get something like that in a sketchy area like the lower Tenderloin or eastern Mission, but even that is questionable these days.

Probably it's more like $2000 for a 2 bedroom on average in SF. Yeah, it's freakin' expensive here.

[TammyGidget]

I luv your vids, you are an absolute doll, xoxoxo

[cheyannedoll]

i cannot wait to see what you look like in a year...DDG drop dead gorgeous.

[roseblossoms00]

wow this is an awesome video, love the different clips way to keep it interesting!

[morwen555]

Just watched your videos and subscribed =)

~xx

[TopRamenKickAss]

whats the difference between transexual and transgender???

[SeyrahGoth]

Transgender is an umbrella term used to describe anyone who considers themselves to not fit into "gender norms", A transexual is someone feels their bio body doesnt match their mind and seeks to permenately correct this "in most cases".

[colinbibra]

You are funny & stunning - Good luck.

From a S.O.G. in London.

J.

[xXSheBldsQkMshnsXx]

You look sooooo good!!! I'm jealous as hell of you! Hope DC is cool for ya if it ends up not working so well there... Come to COLORADO I'm telling you, it's the best here!

[xXSheBldsQkMshnsXx]

You look great!!! I'm soooooo jealous of you damn it! Your size is perfect... Somebody isn't gonna have much trouble passing! Keep ya head up! Again, Looking GOOD!

[usernameindc]

what part of dc do you live in?

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

the NW

[nekrokoma]

damn you're cute

[Pandanu]

Hi! The eratic, uncertain flow of your vids is certainly fresh & interesting. However, you might also try making a short list of items to discuss in each video to keep you on track, or else give each vid a theme/topic. Like you, I've put off vlogging because I don't know what the hell I would say, but I seem to notice others have adopted this strategy.

[dreyam]

God, you're even prettier than in your previous vids! All the best in your transition babe!

[devaloki]

btw, the black shirt looks good

get a chi and get ur hair cut into an angular bob with it long and pointe din front and short in back that would look rlly good on u

[devaloki]

don't do this stuff online with voice stuff!

[D4RthCr4ckh34d]

whats wrong with boston accents..... i got one!

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

god bless you

[SK4GS]

so whats on ur mind and where ya from

[bu4867]

I also wish you best of luck too babe.

[bu4867]

you are cute and lovely .. can you do dancing video ???

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

Thanks. Nope.

[bu4867]

I just feel that your answer is too sexy. But you said in your video anything except taking off my cloth. It is ok babe. I just want to wish you best of luck in you life.

[kylee0006]

You are adorable and a good role model.

[jimboburgess]

go to the 930 club, then henry's for fried chicken, man it's tasty

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

I'm there going to a show Wednesday--should be a great time. I'll check out the fried chicken :)

[rdbuilder2010]

Let us know how the others react to the real you when you start the new job. If you haven't already, get to know and use the subway; best way to travel around town; best mass transit system i've ever used.

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

I'll be sure to update on job stuffs. And there's a metro station close which is nice, although I use my bike the most.

[christaandariqah]

UM lol

I say that all the time in my videos aso lol. Ariqah and i counted in the last one we did together and it was like 27 times or something like that

lol

And i also want to say number 5 is the best video you have done i belive.

love ya, Christa

[kathrynggonzales]

Darling - you have made my terrible day so much better! Thanks for doing these - it's nice to know I'm not alone.

Gracie

[GaryVal4]

I love your vids, you are always just you being you, and thats great! I am enjoying how you are progressing as a woman. You are awesome.

Gary

[ChrissyMaybella]

Damn, Ashley, your ways are sooo cute.

I'm a big big fan of yours and I'm sooooo glad to hear that things are going well for you. God bless you, sweetie!

Chrissy

[fembrace]

I'd recommend Dr. Ace Lipson as an Endo. He's on 19th St. Pricey, but they all are.

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

Thanks for the tip!

[sithfurritus]

Hello Ashley! Wow everyone can tell the good changes! Im just coming out to my parents and family, and still very afraid of living fulltime, I cant imagine going to a job interview, so all I can say is you are doing just great!!! and everything will be as you want! My best wishes! ahh btw talk about facing the fear to go out dressed ... =) bye

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

Coming out to your parents can be rough, I wish you the best of luck. I was actually forced into coming out in middle school when my mom found a stash of clothing in my closet (imagine coming home from school, opening the front door, and seeing your fem stuff all laid out in the open...terrifying!). Maybe I'll make my next video about my early years?

[Daylen57]

Ashley,

Your life seems to be on track. Despite your obvious anxiety, you radiate a lot of confidence in yourself. I guess that you have too, but it much easier to say then do. You seem to have done just that. I wanted to give my best to Kyle for standing beside you when you needed him. I envy him. You seem to have a spunky personality. Your Vlogs are great, their spontaneity lends them credence. Your looking great. I only hope that I can one day meet someone like you. Daylen

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

Thanks Daylen, my life is...almost on track. Thanks for all your encouraging words! Also, Kyle is friggin great--he cooks too!

[xXinsanityXsc3n3Xx]

O M G you've improved sooh much it's ravishing like sooh impressive ^.^

[vonhatenfeld]

I liked it so much, I need 1/10 of your courage, I want to be a t girl like you but I don't know how to get rid of shame dysphoria. Can you help me?

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

Hm---Start small! One step at a time. It took me years to get this far. If you're serious about transition you must plan it out and set realistic goals.

[vonhatenfeld]

thank you, I'll keep you updated about my story. I'm of London and you?

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

From Florida, living in Washington, DC

[txla50]

you get better looking each video,love your eyes

[yaksha2]

You know, you'd think someone would point out how funny the Voice From Nowhere is. I think he's funny. But only if we don't see him.

Agree?

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

Agreed. He IS unsightly.

[Widdledoo]

Somehow I missed that you posted this...this is a couple of different shades of awesome. Don't worry I do the 'um..' thing too, that's why I chop up my videos so much.

[RougeLesbian]

i missed your beautiful face, girl. youre looking very happy and fierce as always. muah! youre my favorite.

[ElliekaInTheRain]

Im jealous! Your gorges...and I'm not, lol any way I love your videos they make me smile. Maybe some day I'll be brave enough to post one of myself.

My question would be: how painful is the laser and how long do you go for each session?

I'd be happy to develop a friendly dialog with you to share experiences and ideas. Feel free to message me. I'm working on becoming more involved with our community but I'm just to shy to post vids.

Keep'em coming, we love them. :P

[knarigirl]

Love this vid. Alot of fun! And I think you're passing very well.

[rzabala001]

I've lived in Boston for 28 years now, trust me you don't want a Boston accent. I can actually switch back and forth betweeb Boston and NY accent now, but I wasn't even aware at first that I aquired a "Bahston" accent after the first 5 years. It's ok just to vlog on to say hi and tell us how you're days going. We want to see you. Take care.

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

haha ok, noted :)

I may have been intoxicated at the time...

[JadeStarsx]

See why i never wanted to make videos? lol.

I suck at it and dont really like doing it either haha.

You did better then me atleast. And you are looking so hot <3

[zornwil]

I was just thinking of you the other day. Good to see you, and don't sweat the vlogging, even a quick hello is fine every once in a while. But certainly understandable, and good to have some standards! Take care.

[baleksei]

I guess there is never a dull day in the life of a transgendered woman. Work as how you want to. The best thing I did was transiton on the job. At least at my next place in the company there is no past for people to confuse me with. <3

To be less nervous and fidget less, try filming with a bit of a meal in your tummy. OR drink alcohol.

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

I think th primary thing holding me back now is the facial hair situation. I still haven't found a consistent method of removal that would work every morning (that doesn't rip off my face in the process). Any tips?

[whatisbeneath]

LOL pitch changes! Woot! In my first vid I use about 4 voices, so I relate! Its cool though. Multiple personalities are hot.

So, like, take off your clothes already.

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

:)

Some of the pitch changes happen because I care less about my voice around my roommate. I just need get more in the habit I think. And I'm neither bored nor desperate enough to start taking my clothes off on youtube haha.

[JuggaletteJenny]

this was cool. good to see some bloopers out of this.

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

Thanks. I thought it might be cool to see me in a less structured setting (aka, the real me).

[Tristan14578]

In district of Columbia anything is possible. You more than likely will be able to work as Ashley (yourself) since you are more than passable, especially if your full time. Good to see your out, happy and enjoying yourself. I hope you get that job you want so much.

Latters..

[xTheAshleyMartinx]

That's the idea at least. I'll keep you guys updated on the job situation.

[Vemarkis]

It doesn't matter when you update, you still manage to bring a smile to my face with your nice personality.

[SketcH669]

YAY! glad you made it to D.C.

[donnahell]

I watched your video!

[HillaryTS]

so awesome! :D

[Forlorn79]

I'd like if you did a video more about your everyday life, such as your hobbies, favorite things, typical daily routine, etc. I know I haven't done one of these, either, but it's on the short list, maybe up next!

[Rahaha24]

wow! 1000 subscribers! nice to know you're doing well :) x

[addiuslovidicus]

The best thing I've seen all day, is to know you're okay.

And you're well on your way towards womanhood.

Lovely.

/smile

[orpheusABC]

Ashley,

thank you for this lovely video. It moves me to see you so independent and looking stronger every time.

You go girl, I know you can make it, know you can find that job, know you can get your act together...

Take care, bless ya girl.

And as for a topic suggestion... mmhh, how about a report from a night out on the town, with your friends...

grtz

wouter

[sablehairangel]

Lol! I love how you pouted for the New England accent. DC still isn't New England, but just don't say your r's. Just go like this:

I hahv to go to mah cah. (I have to go to my car.)

[ininkplease]

omg its Ashley, yay *gets all excited*

[zrfphoto]

failure is funny! nice job editing madness together

[arrowheadaisy]

I think you're great in front of the camera, no matter what the subject matter.

[JasmineAshley82]

Wow your voice sounds more feminine than last video :) good on u!!

[sweetnsexyts]

Hey girl! Welcome to DC, i'm your next door neighbor.

*J3NIF3R*

[ross185]

Oh honey, the video was great.

Don't force making them though if you don't want to!

You could do them if on certain days you're feeling really strongly about a certain topic, and you want to share your opinion...you get a lot less "ehm's" and "uh's".

I personally just think you're fantastic because for the phobes and religious fucktards and all haters who happen to stumble upon videos like yours, they'll see that you're just as normal as any other caring human being!

We are all equal!

xoxo

[Kabuki8888]

Another great video as always, waiting for next! keep warm and good luck
