[FoxZo83]

I want to cry but can't...I haven't cried in over 3 years...I feel so tense and awful.

[xBlacKcHilDreNx]

get off youtube u stupid queer!!

[Dijorno2007]

Its very interesting that u say testosterone makes you feel numb. I am a gay guy and I can cry. I'm not gonna say I cry easily but its not unusual for me to find myself getting emotional if I am overwhelmed or frustrated or find something touching to the point of tears. I guess it's different for everyone. :) Anyways, your blogs have taught me so much about transgender/sexual people as well as myself and how I process information and my own orientation and identity.

[AldinTheMad]

Testosterone will make your emotions more dull but if you are very "emotional" to begin with you'll still be in tune with your emotions compared to others. It's just that if you were a girl you'd cry even more easily than you do now.

Besides, she probably was also very depressed from her gender dysphoria - depression numbs your emotions

[fossilcat444]

"Sad" tears actually present with extremely high concentrations of stress proteins, hormones, etc. In effect, when you (sad) cry, you're letting the stress drain from your body--a way of making yourself feel better. So you might want to think your "no physical benefit" remarks ;)

[fossilcat444]

Oh, and in addition to that, what we call "sad crying" serves as a non-verbal way of seeking compassion or comfort. Animals do it, too.

[doorcodad]

I know this blog is made for people in the transgendered community, but I find it very interesting. I have viewed most of your videos and I pretty much agree with what you say. Are there any other heterosexuals out there (not the crazy homophobs) who find this blog interresting and informative? This is the kind of positive communication/understanding between people the internet can foster. Ashley, I hope you keep it going.

[dandieelyon]

I think it's interesting too! It's made me look at my own femininity in a different way. It's very informative and I think it definitely helps to foster communication and understanding.

[NutterGrrl]

There are a lot of things that science has not proven yet. At any rate I can relate to the crying thing. I probably get in a good cry once every week or two (some months are more stressful then others). There really doesnt have to be a good reason. I think it usually hits me when I am laying in bed trying to sleep, afterwards I always feel refreshed and usually get the best nights sleep in weeks.

hugs

[althais]

some few years there will be a third war and it involves killing all the fags in the world ... ,,!,,

[icecoldbath]

it will be nice not having to be around you anymore.

[Zeqh]

ahahaha excellent response!

Btw, Ashley, I've seen most of your videos and I just wanted to say that I think you're a really sweet and wonderful girl!

[pgy001]

althais-Well, that would EXCLUDE Ashley, because she is a STRAIGHT GIRL!

I'm a trans-lesbian, so I'd prolly get killed!

[ellegaunt]

yeah ... our hormones fucking make us cry. There was this great article in the New York Times written by a construction worker (conventionally straight male) who had to take estrogen after having an accident, or some sort of cancer, and anyway, his basic point was that he understood why women seem so insane after he took estrogen. I was like "THANK YOU!!!!" people don't understand.

[ellegaunt]

wait ... no. he understood why women acted in a way he previously thought to be insane. he became insane. he started crying. yeah.

[icecoldbath]

chick. :)

[MagiKlara]

ur voice is deep tho?

[icecoldbath]

check out my later videos.

[lovelyphantomess]

ok you are adorable haha

and i totaly agree a good cry is good for anyone every once in a while

[SurfingInARainbow1]

I can cry at the drop of a hat during movies, I've NEVER taken estrogen but I DO believe I was born with a higher amount of estrogen than MOST genetic males. My doctor told me he thought I was an XXY, I wonder if THAT could have to do with it.

[kraftmacandcheese]

I really enjoyed your talk.

Thanks.

[Yereviltwin2]

Real men don't cry, you should look into working on that.

[pgy001]

Yereeviltwin-Crying is a natural emotion, there's nothing femminine nor masculine about it!

[lantusappreciation]

At my trans group, I was talking about how I couldn't cry for over a month when I took an androgen, and a transwoman was saying that felt terrible, to not be able to cry. But I didn't mind- I think it's transwomen who mind not being able to cry.

[jackcage83]

I agree 100% A nice big fat good cry is always good and cleansing for the soul :)

[satanhatesyu]

I totally agree with that. although I do suffer depression I do feel better after a good cry. Love your videos!

[hulka99]

I am happy that you aren't unhappy.

[hulka99]

You're fucking breaking my heart...get happy. You're doing what you want, so embrace it. Chin up, it will get better.

[icecoldbath]

I am happy. Just because I cry sometimes doesn't mean I am not unhappy.

[skateboardkid135]

what happened

[GenieP]

Oh, Ashley, I absolutely agree and cry when I here or see sad things. I probably cry only once every couple of months or so. I just hate my mascara running down my face. My husband can't understand why I would cry...silly men just don't get it.

[ASECONDCHANCEAROUND]

CRY AND MOVE ON ! : )

[hintgiver]

I can totally understand. I cry at least once every week or every two weeks as well. I sometimes thought I needed a reason to cry. However, I soon realized that sometimes just being sad is okay even if I can't pin point the reason why. My dear friend Peter and I get together sometimes and when we talk about very emotional topics have a good cry together--feeling safe enough to cry around dear friends is a great feeling. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's nice to know I can relate.

[pimphaterpunk]

emo

[grishno]

Every week or so?????? Whoa. I sure do relate to that whole numbing thing and that is gone for sure post estrogen... but I guess I just don't get to the point of needing a good cry very often... once or twice a month is usually the max. Hope the bus ride went well today! I am proud of you.

[jle1979]

The feeling after you cry is wonderful i love it. Great video.

[aire420]

[icecoldbath]

Thank you! Hehe, I hope you enjoy that little T shield. :)

~Ashley

[icecoldbath]

I'm really glad you watch them. It makes me feel good that I am talking to other people besides those inside the trans community.

[WallaWallaOnions]

Hey, looking good there! Yeah. Just simply letting loose and crying can be a real help sometimes... Keep up the good work! :)
