I talk about my own experiences, how my outlook on different topics are, my own religious beliefs, etc... Nothing I say is meant to degrade, demean or intentionally hurt or anger others. This is my journey and if a viewer wants clarification I will be more than happy too. I will remove or block anyone who is not respectful and takes what I say personally and reacts to those feelings.

That was such a great story to share 🥹💗 Thank you! I've been subscribed for a long time under a different user name, but I forgot the password to that account and started using this one. I usually write mini-novels for comments, but this time I don't have much to say because I can relate so well 🫶 I had my friend say almost the same thing "You're a man trapped in a woman's body". Once I pursued that, and got on T, had a few surgeries, I'm happier than I have been in a long time, but now I'm gay because I like guys "per societal labels" but I still feel straight. I just say I'm queer now because it leaves the door open for explanation if the people I like are genuinely good friends and want to know more about me. Good to see you're doing alright, stay genuine 😊💯
Thank you buddy!! You take care of yourself as you evolve. Blessings Always
August 16th Madonna is 66 lol
Hi buddy! Great to see you. I have been thinking about you the last couple of weeks. I will give you a call when I get a chance okay. 🙂
Sounds good
Hey Ethan, great video! Nice to see you!
As a cis male with ED Problem I have to say that you're a lucky man that can easily have erection at that age. congratulations !
Hey Ethan! 👋🏽
Thank you for watching Marlon.
Great video. Medically transitioning at 50 is no piece of cake, glad things went well and you have a supportive partner. You definitely went about things the right way. Cheers.
Thank you! Thank you for watching. Blessings Always
I always appreciate your videos and outlook on life. Transition is not for the weak and does seem never ending until you can finally be at peace with where you are in the process. I'm so glad the masses are benign as that can be hella scary to discover. Take care and healing vibes for your ED recovery/success.
Thank you so much Lucas. It was a scary time. I kept my faith and hope for a positive outcome. One Day At A Time I work at living by and taking the uncontrolled hurdles as they come. Blessings Always
Congrats on your ED surgery! Great to see that you are doing well. My consult with Dr. Chen is in May. Can't wait! Take care now.
Im glad you are fine ❤
Thank you and thank you for watching
Always good to hear from you.
Whats up. saw your KZread channel and understand you are a KZreadr. Very nice video on your channel, I really enjoyed it. Total subscribers 442 and a Total of 248 Uploaded videos of your channel. I noticed one thing according to your channel your channel videos are not viewed and subscribed. You need to optimize your channel and do video SEO to reach your target audience. Otherwise, if you upload videos to your channel throughout the year, none of your videos will get viral views. If your channel is optimized a little and if the videos are SEO then your channel will rank very fast and your channel will grow. And monetization of your channel will be on. As a professional digital marketer, I want to help you with this. let's discuss your channel I am looking forward to your response
You look amazing ❤
Thank you
I can relate to what you said about not being taken as just another guy amongst men. Feels like that with family all the time.
Love u
Thank you, blessings always
Hello there! I had to switch accounts, it's me, "Chrismoon" is my other account name I was using. I have autoimmune things as well, the lung problem could very well be part of that. If you still see a rheumatologist, maybe ask them if they could look into that? It could help your breathing a bit more if that's part of the issue. Listen to your sister! ☺ I just got done with an online summit from the autoimmune association, it was wonderful! They go over a bunch of stuff, have a great community, and also made me feel not so alone in dealing with these symptoms. I live in a small town in northern Minnesota where the doctor supply is meager at best. The closest specialists are about an hour's drive from me, and I can't drive. I'm 46 years old, and I know what you mean about not talking about trans things back in the day. My mom just told me I was a boy trapped in a girl's body, we didn't have the words for it. I was labeled a tomboy and such, which to me was better than being a girl until puberty hit, then it was all downhill until I found out about the things I could do to help my body match like my heart and mind. I'm attracted to feminine guys, so after my transition I either say I'm queer or gay, depending on who's asking. I'm sorry you had to go through that with your dad. When I feel suicidal, I made a pact with myself to first think back to the good things that have happened since the last time I thought about it that I would have missed out on. That usually pulls me out enough to talk about it instead of end things. It's a fine line to walk sometimes, but there are good things that happen, we have to make a point to remember them though, our brains are wired to remember the bad stuff as a survival instinct. Much internet subscriber love to Toni (I don't know how she spells her name) We all could use support like that for sure! My boyfriend asked me to hold off my transition until his mom passed away so he wouldn't have to deal with her wrath. She is very homophobic, and has told me straight out that I'm not good enough for her some and I should leave him alone if I know what's good for me. I guess he stood up for me last year (our 18 year anniversary is this month). He didn't even want to look at me for the first few years I started transitioning to male, now it's just an odd "bromance" of sorts I guess. I'ts been a rough ride for all of us for sure, but it sure is nice to live how we need and want to live after all we've been through. Thank you Ethan, much love and I hope you continue to get better breathing!
I hadn't thought about my bones being left behind but I have thought about being identified by DNA. I'm stealth (simpler to navigate life) and that has me up at nights getting outed on ancestry or some other geneaology site. Thanks for always being positive - you're appreciated!
I’m in an Ancestry and when a DNA match comes up I don’t even know them. I’m under my given name not birth name. I don’t think Lucas it would out you. The family you know has already shown up and those who haven’t, you probably don’t know and vise versa. Try to rest assure and not allow you such stress. This is one of those things that, if you joined, is now out of your control. If it becomes a hurdle, you’ll get through it. Rest assure you’ll be ok, my friend!!! Blessings
Yes! I experience that sudden rush at the weirdest moments and it's one of the times I'm grateful it doesn't manifest physically in public. It's an eye opener for sure.
It’s nice to hear I’m not alone. Thank you for sharing. Blessings
I used to think about it, but I am dead, so I don't care by then. I believe the Adam apple would not show on skeleton..
True, but at least I'm not the only one this thought has come to. Thanks Blessings Always
Looking good EthanJay. “Keeping it simple” sounds like a plan for me as also. Stay well
Thank you Rodney! Blessings
Ethan, I too was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about six weeks ago. I’m so sorry about losing your four legged family member. They take a piece of us with them. ❤️
Hi Robin, hope you all did well through the hurricane. I’m sorry about your recent diagnosis. I’m here for you whenever. Thank you, she was a big part of our lives and now we’re settling into the void. Thank you for still watching. Have a Blessed Day!!!
@@EthanJay1261 In my neighborhood the rain was pretty mild as compared to the rain we received earlier this year. Now my boarding facility is a whole different story. It received more rain and wind damage. Plus my horse has to be overly dramatic leaping over puddles. ❤️
YIKES! Cipro is some terrible stuff! 😱 "We may never know" is not a good answer from a doctor. They have a way to know if they would check in on it more instead of push people to the side. I'm sorry you have autoimmune issues. I do to, and they're completely baffled every time I go in or have a new issue. I completely understand what you say about not being seen as male, I was always accepted as a tomboy, but after my transition I realized I didn't like the way some groups of guys talked. I'm in a senior/disabled community now and they're all pretty good about knowing me for who I am and not what my physical self is. I found a happy medium between both genders. I'm a sensitive guy with a sense of humor and a shoulder to lean on 🙂Not many people ask about me being trans, they knew me before and after and realized it doesn't change my heart. Going back to the same person over and over is hard to do. Same here, i was just trying to "blend in" but I was never happy with myself or how others saw me, and it took me until my 30's to realize what I was doing to myself to try to fit in with what others think I should be. Just curious, did they test you for mrsa? Hence the cipro? You don't have to answer that of course, just a thought. Carnivore diets are hard to do aren't they? I lost 40 lbs on it, but it sure got expensive! So weird! I just got t6ested for cushing's too. Negative, but still wondering what the issue is. With yogurt, the processing breaks down casein so if you have a milk allergy, it's easier to digest. (I speak from multiple allergy syndrome experience) As a side note, look up what milk has in it (If you ever want to go the gross-out route) look up pus cells per million FDA guidelines 🤢 That got me through about a year of not eating dairy! MMM skickerdoodle! 🤤 I hope your infection goes away, cipro stays in your system even after you stop taking it, might take a bit. I'll send some good healing vibes your way!
❤ happy Monday ❤
Hey man, I heard you say Dr. Chi put this pump in. Kaiser So Cal? If so, get as far away from her as you can. Go back to Dr. Chen. Dr. Chi did the same thing to my buddy. She's horrible and she doesn't care about us. Sorry to hear about all the troubles. I hope you heal up and are able to get a new device in the future.
Sorry about your friend. I happen to like Dr. Chi, she put the first pump in two years ago and there were no issues. She and her staff were trained by Dr. Chen. I have to disagree about her not caring. She showed me lots of empathy and concern. I just had a mid-hap with the original pump and my body rejected the newer version. It wasn’t anything she did or did not do. My friend had surgery the same day I did (with the original pump) and he hasn’t had any issues. Again sorry about your friend CJ but there should be facts behind what you’re saying when spreading such information. Have a blessed day
Nice video. I am a professional digital marketer and youtube business promotion expert. I have visited your youtube channel and found it very good but there are some minor issues due to which your videos are not getting exposure on youtube. If you update then your video is more likely to go viral. I can help you if you want.dear How can I contact you?
Just lay around it won't hurt and you'll heal faster
Lol, thanks Hunter. Blessings
Your positivity is just inspiring. Hoping the healing continues to go well
Thank you, we choose how we walk our journey. I work on not getting worked up about things I cannot control. Blessings Always
Quickly recovery
Thank you
Thanks for the update. Good wishes for your health in the future.
Thank you for caring. You have a blessed day!!
Hope your post op appt went well. Just had my stage 1 RFF 5 weeks ago. Your recovery videos have been helping me through. Thanks for sharing, Ethan!
Your welcome and congratulations!! Allow the time your body needs to heal and adjust. So many people rush this process and things happen that sets them back. Blessings and good healing!!!
Sorry to hear about that rough recovery with the new equipment, hope that's the worst of it and you have very good healing and extended pump life. Thank you for the updates. Your mindset when facing tough situations and choosing to make positive changes is always encouraging and helps to give me a boost when I'm feeling low. You're a swell guy and I really appreciate you. Take care.
Thank you Lucas, it’s good to know that what I’ve experienced can or does help someone else. I believe that’s what we are here for, each other. You keep your chin up and take each day as your last and do the best you can. One of our friends always says, ‘each day is a gift’. If you think about it it’s so true!!! Blessings Always
Ethan…I enjoy the wisdom you give from your experiences.. The things you say ring so true for me, and many people regardless or orientation. Being a type 2 diabetic, I learned a lot from your approach to that as well. God Bless you man.
Thank you Rodney, Blessings to you also!
I’m sorry to be so inexperienced with this, but is there any pain or discomfort with your guy…ie member when you sit down and he buckles/bends?
Hi Rodney, there’s only one nerve that runs down the shaft. But it doesn’t branch out to give sensation all over the shaft.So unfortunately I don’t feel anything or I would be able to adjust myself to keep from buckling. Blessings
Thanks for the update and good words!
Thank you. Happy Holidays! Blessings
Love your videos
Thank you Danny. Happy Holidays! Blessings
I like you videos..I'm ftm 51yrs old so I understand you..
Hi Danny, thank you. Im glad you can relate. Take Care
Hey Ethan, another question for ya! How did you feel the week after surgery? I’ll be in Austin and I’m curious if/how much I’ll be able to go out and walk around or if I’ll mostly be laid out in my Airbnb. Thanks!
Hi Dan, I stayed down the first day for sure, then I’d walk a little around the house to get my body going again. I believe around day three or four I was walking more and more. But really listen to the doc because of the risk of the body not accepting, especially the testicles. Good luck and let us know how it goes for you!! Blessings Always!
Hi Ethan. I just recently discovered your channel and I really appreciate your wisdom and sharing your experiences. I'm in my mid 40's and am almost always the oldest person at the trans support group I attend, so it's very refreshing to hear from a more mature trans man. And btw, I would never have guessed you were 60. You look terrific!
Thank you so much and welcome. I didn’t have many to watch when I started and that’s why I keep doing it. I know how it is to be about the oldest in a trans group. I hope my videos answer questions or just help you understand, you’re not alone. Blessings Always
Ethan, can’t thank you enough for taking the time to make this thoughtful and detailed video! I know talking about this is uncomfortable (I have a hard time with it as well.) But, it’s an important decision for us and having your perspective is valuable. I think for my active lifestyle and what I’m hoping for from the ED, physically and emotionally, it sounds like the pump is the way to go. Thank you again!
You're so very welcome. I was happy to do it. I'm here if you need anything. Good luck with your surgery. Take Care and Blessings Always.
No one but you could Ethan make this subject so relatable and wholesome.
Thank you for your kind words. You be safe and take care of yourself! Blessings Always
Hey Ethan, do you have thoughts about the pump vs rod as a guy who’s had both? If you’ve made a video about it, feel free to send me there for answers. Implant surgery coming up for me this fall, thanks.
Hi Dan, first congratulations on the future surgery. I have a few vids out regarding the ED, but let me do a updated version. I think with new thoughts it will, possibly, help you. If there's anything else, let me know. I'll do it today and get it downloaded. Blessings Always
Part 2. 😜 As a person with a Catholic upbringing I can completely relate with you on your outlook regarding the afterlife. I won’t take any more space in your comments, just know your talks are appreciated. Ride safe.
Robin, you could never take up too much space. You comment all you want, lol. It’s reassuring that others can share some of the same philosophy I have about things. Continue to share with me!!! Thank you and you ride safe too!!!
I admire your loving kindness Ethan. You have the personality of a saint. I’m sure the misgendering hurts, but the way you can rise above it is admirable.
Thank you so much Robin for such kind words. Also thank you for continuing to watch me. I appreciate the support and friendship it’s built. Blessings Always
Thank you for sharing your story. You were one of the first men I came across that transitioned and made a huge difference in how I saw myself. It's heartening to hear someone be positive and hopeful. Take care.
Thank you Lucas. I wish you well on your journey. Blessings Always
Wow, this was really good, packed with good points, learning curves and I would have written a mini-novel of comments on each point you made, but I was glued to how you explained everything! I thank you so much and bless your heart for this video, I don't feel so alone up here 👍🙂
Hi Chris, thank you for watching it. I'm glad you could identify and found you are not alone!!!!! Take Care of yourself always
@@EthanJay1261 You take are as well ☺
How old were you when you first got phallo?
Hi Hunter, I was 54 yrs of age.
Happy Birthday Ethan Jay, and congratulations on living your authentic self. As I listen to you today, I am glad for you. Your story is so important. Hearing about your successes and triumphs gives me hope that people can have good relationships no matter who we are. We all are different,…colors, genders, yet our stories have so many similarities. It is wonderful getting to know you, and looking forward to hearing from you again. Rodney
Thank you Rodney! Yes there is hope in everything!
Happy Birthday Ethan. Such a blessing to be able to reflect and how proud and thankful you must be. Have you ever interviewed your wife on your channel? Do you still go horseback riding? Take care
Thank you Pita Bread. Yes we still ride but haven’t as much as we would like to. No I haven’t brought my wife in in this last of my journey. But will answer any questions that anyone has regarding relationships and how she’s handled it. Blessings Always
Part of my journey, sorry for typo
Thanks for sharing your story and some sage wisdom! As a younger trans man, it’s really nice to hear from someone further along in their journey. You are someone I can look up to and I hope to be in a similar place in my life, transition, and mental health when I am 60. Congrats on the 10 year manniversarry and happy birthday too!! :)
Thank you Matthew, I wish you growth and wisdom as you walk your journey. Always stay true to yourself!!! I wish you growth and wisdom on your journey!!! Blessings Always
I always feel good after watching your videos. As a blond person seeing dark hair start growing on the backs of my fingers is a trip. A good one! Happy Birthday!
Thank you Mr. McLean, continue enjoying the changes!!! Thanks again Blessings
