A former U.S. Marine, born Matthew, has undergone an amazing transformation and today lives as 33-year-old Sona Avedian, in a transformation that has shocked people everywhere.
The picture below from Sona’s Facebook is of Matthew before he decided to take hormone therapy and have surgery in order to turn into Sona.

And this photo is of Sona after three years:
Sona, who lives in Austin, Texas, served six combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan before the transformation, all while being married and raising a daughter. But after being unhappy for so many years, Sona decided to become who she is today in November of 2012:
“Since I came out I have tried to live a normal life — it’s like anyone, there are good and bad times,” Sona reveals. “There are certain things I miss, I lost a lot of friends but I’ve also made a lot of new friends. I was following the American dream — I don’t even know who I’m looking at the before pictures, it was so depressing.”
“Personally I’m much happier, I don’t have any conflicts with who I am. I am definitely a tomboy and that’s okay,” Sona adds. “Before I couldn’t stand myself and I couldn’t interact with people.”
Sona and her ex-wife, Lucy, are now divorced but still speak, and she still has a strong relationship with their five-year-old daughter.
“My daughter and I are awesome, she adores being around me. She only remembers me as a woman and I love how we interact, we are so much alike,” Sona says.
