Noah, I love that you have curly hair. My son has curly hair too. When he first came out, he always had his hair cut extremely short ( typical male hairstyle) but now that he’s more comfortable with himself, he is letting his hair grow out to about the length of yours and it looks great on him.
It's not your son. It's your daughter on roids. And if you keep that up, by the time she's 30 she'll be suffering from osteoporosis and skeleosis as well as hair loss and a number of other things testosterone will effect on a female body that isn't designed to have that much of it
Literally, male levels of testosterone are toxic to a female body. So I'm just warning you now. You can keep going, but you'll be blaming yourself for all the health issues that are waiting for your "son" down the line
@@whitechocolateb0nes Haha no. I'm not gonna cry about it... ... But if YOU go through with it, I'm gonna LAUGH about it. Like hahaha, as you permanently ruin your body with no chance of reversing it
I’ve thought about the “have you considered just living as a very masc female?” Indeed I have. And I dread it. It’s not me. I don’t want to. It’s wrong. So yeah I’m very convinced that I’m trans as well. I’m pre-T, I’m almost 15, been out for a year, made a lot of changes in clothing style and diet, lost some weight, and I feel so much better. My face and chest (I’m small chested, thank the universe) also looks pretty masculine considering that I haven’t taken T and I’m afab, so BIG BIG UP FOR THAT. Things that have only gotten worse though: My issues with my deadname, and my “satisfaction” with my voice. It’s deep for a female, but it’s not enough for me. One time when I hadn’t spoken in class for a while, when I did I almost stopped dead. It was just way too fucking high. So I’ve started getting voice dysphoria now :’D
Yea that doesn't work. I am a post op trans woman. I have a butch side. Medical transition has allowed me to embrace my butch side. There is no way I would have been able to be a guy who also dresses femme. I hated it when I was expected to dress butch. At my sister's wedding I had to dress like a man. I was miserable. These days if I went to a wedding I would be wearing a suit. Femme wedding appropriate outfits are too femme for my taste.
@@jennoscura2381 I do feel like that would be case for me too, just opposite way y’know. But when I start physically looking like a man, if I do choose to go on T and maybe have surgery if I’m certain it’s right for me, I’m sure I’ll be able to embrace my femininity. I liked wearing dresses until a few months ago when my mum taught me about the signals people can send with their attire. And I haven’t worn anything even slightly fem-presenting since, absolutely horrified that my surroundings would just see a girl.
As a kid, I had serious anger issues; to the point that when I told my (transphobic) mother that I wanted to start taking testosterone, her first argument was that it would reverse all the progress I made on controlling my emotions and that I would become a dangerous person. I’m now 8 months on testosterone (and 1 year out of that household), and my moods have stabilized so much. I think between hormone fluctuations having been majorly reduced and my no longer perpetually dealing with the stress of my dysphoria (which is already very much reduced), I’m able to deal with my emotions in much healthier ways because I’m not constantly overwhelmed by them. HRT may not be for everyone, but it was definitely for me 💙
Hmm normal dude here, not transphobic, just curious, do you think you manage your emotion better as man more than you were a girl/woman?, Thanks have a good day
@@ironman5034 for me I'm 8 years on T and I have been able to manage my emotions so much better now than when I was pre T I was crying constantly having constant mental breakdowns that i feel like I wasn't in control of them because just anything even minor made me cry it was uncomfortable and now my mood is so much more stabilize and I am in much more control of my mood (it could also be because I'm much more comfortable in my body now and I was crying also feeling imprisoned by my body pre everything) and pre T when I got in a fight I would cry and not stop thinking about it ruining my day more and now when I'm on T after a fight I don't cry I would get mad during but right after the argument I'm fine so it was a drastic change for me for the better 😌
I started watching Noah when I was still identifying as a girl, now I am one year after social transition and two months t, only thing I regret is not going on t sooner loved every change so far, transphobes won´t understand but it´s like being able to finally breathe properly, I am not quite there yet but it has started and that's important for me rn also wanted to say that Noah helped me realize a lot of stuff and to see hope for me in the future, I don't know what I would do without trans youtube overall honestly, it helped me majorly in my journey
I can also identify with the being able to breathe properly. Physically I haven’t been able to breathe properly for years, because I have the posture of a prawn, but coming out of my shell and telling the world about how I felt really helped and I’m in a much better place, compared to 2 years ago when I was far from out, and very afraid of judgement. Congratulations btw, you’re incredibly strong for holding out in a wrong-looking body for so long❤️❤️❤️
@@dustygania2425 "you people" is an example of you generalizing based on stereotypes. Maybe you could rephrase your point so it's not self defeating? Cuz to me, it seems like you're making generalizations in order to excuse your own personal desire to attack random strangers because they're different than you. So let me ask you a serious question. Do you see yourself as someone who attacks people for being different? Or do you see yourself as someone who sticks up for people who are being bullied for being different? It's a serious question and I'd really like an answer.
With my genetics (dad's side) I know that once I go on T that my hairline might recede and that I'll probably grow facial hair a little quicker than most (which I'm not a big fan of facial hair, so I'm a little salty about that) but honestly I don't really care cause I know that going on T will make me at least a little happier than I am right now since I'm not on T yet. Plus, my dad is no longer here so it'd make me happy to look more like him :)
You hair genetics comes from your mums side so if you're mums dad still has his hair you should be right. But even if he's bald you still have a chance that you might not end up bald just have to wait and see
as far as I know lots of things can be done in terms of receding hairline. often men lose hair because they don't treat it, and cover it up instead. I'm in the same boat with beard, I'm an enby and I don't want a beard really, though I'd like to have more than my pre-t stache. I just like shaving my face lol
Long-ish story: Sooo im black female at birth but i identify as a masculine non-binary (He/They). Ever since my period started i would have such terrible period cramps to the point i couldnt even get out of bed sometimes. So my mum took me to the doctor to see if i could have medicine to adjust to the pain. And guessss whattt?? They wanted to put me on a form on OESTROGEN (Which will really suck bc im a masculine non-binary). Honestly when i heard that word, my heart literally dropped. I remember not even listening to anything else the doctor was saying. All i felt spinning round my head was _"you're gonna look more like a female then you already do"._ After getting in the car to leave with my new horrible medication, i asked my mum "why cant i take testosterone instead?" And she had the _biggest_ rant about it like i asked if i could set the car on fire 💀 she kept on saying "thats for MEN, you are a woman! Why would you even want that? Are you a boy??" I just stayed silent as she kept ranting on the way home trying to hold back tears. After entering my house i collasped in my room and cried. I'm not sure what to do and i know putting this on the internet isnt rlly gonna do anything. But i _had_ to say something. Anywhere. _-Phoenix, 1/12/2022_
you're a girl, sometimes its hard. You won't ever really be a man. You don't have the parts. Trust me. Im a detransitioned Male to Female to Trans Masc Nonbinary. I have real male parts. You never will. You'll always be seen by men as a woman. I see trans "men/" as women.
@𝕯𝖔𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖆 𝕬𝖗𝖓𝖆𝖚𝖑𝖙 no one can change sex. And honestly you can only be a man or a woman to 100% if you were born one. Male hood = dick. I support your masculine womanhood
I’m so so sorry 😞 it may be one of those situations where to be able to get T, you’ll need to be grown and out of the house. By grown I mean in college to really get away and start working on the ability to afford T for yourself :( And ik ppl always say this but it rlly does get better you just gotta hold on through the situation ok? :( It can be tough but I’m telling you once you make it through, your gonna be like wow look how strong I am for getting through this? You may even be able to help others that have the same experience as you! I personally haven’t told my mom I want to go on T yet so the fact that you even mentioned taking T to yours is SO brave man! Overall I wish you the very best you can do it 🫶🏽
Also idk your parental situation, but just know, if you don’t feel as though you have a supportive family right now, when you go to college, you do find your ppl that end up becoming like a second family
When i was told I wouldn't give birth anymore I celebrated and said bring it on. Like. Cool? I grew up disgusted by childbirth and the thought of EVER having that inside of me. I hated the very idea of it.
Testosterone gel was a game changer for me. I never had a fear of needles and still don’t but I had a few shots go bad and started having anxiety so bad around it I’d skip doses. It wasn’t good. The gel is unfortunately expensive in the states but GoodRX and other things like it can slash the price quite a bit for anyone looking into it. It’s still expensive but I’m lucky to have changed careers recently and can now afford it much easier. I’ve actually seen some changes intensify since I switched to gel. Even after four years my voice actually got a bit deeper and hair growth has been crazy, everywhere except my head. It’s different for everyone but gel is definitely not somehow weaker than shots. The deciding factor is how your body absorbs it. Some people don’t absorb it well through their skin so that might be where some of the idea of it being weaker comes from.
@@v0id_d3m0n I think it’s a mix of cost and the misinformation around gel. I know for me at the start it was just kind of something I resigned myself to thinking it was the only real option until I did research and found ways to get gel at a discounted price.
thats awesome!! :D i have a stupid question if anyone knows, does the voice inside you head like when you think change with your voice? or like realize eventually? idk if thats weird or makes sense but im so curious lol
This literally came out at the perfect time cause I just went to an appointment with my gender clinic and they said I can start T in Febuary if my parents are okay with it !!
@@JackieDaytonaBar I have a trans friend and no one even slightly suspects it. Im sure you've run into a few trans people in your life without knowing, and thank you for gendering them correctly!
I don't know what my birth dad's genetics are like so that'll be a complete surprise to me when I start T. I'm rearly hoping he doesn't have a crappy hairline! After 6 years of being out as trans and giant waiting lists I should be starting by end of this year 😃💙. Have always loved you're videos man!
thank you for making this video because my family thinks i’m going to be depressed and super unhappy and regret my transition years down the line, just cause they heard others stories on people that detransitioned that regretted it, and just because they don’t fully understand what being trans is at the moment. (hopefully they’ll come around one day though) anyways, i just got a call today and im pretty sure i’m on a 9 month waitlist? so i’m really happy. and besides, how could i ever regret transitioning when all i’ve been wanting for so long is to look like a boy, to look like the real me? to have a flat chest, deeper voice, and to look and feel like myself for YEARS? i am extremely uncomfortable with my chest and my voice and so much other stuff that makes me dysphoric. so transitioning, is something i’d never regret because i know i’d feel more myself than i’d ever been after spending so many years hating my body and being disgusted with it. only thing i regret is not starting my process of transitioning earlier, but other than that, i know i’d be so much happier and comfortable with myself :) trans healthcare saves lives guys. i never ever thought i would be able to even get on a waitlist, yet it’s happening. to my trans folks, if you’re not able to transition or come out yet for whatever reason, please hang in there, and be patient. i never thought my day would come, but for me i’m getting started on my transition. so know that your day will come too, i promise 🏳️⚧️🫶🏼
I had my first psychiatrist appointment this week to FINALLY start my medical transition and I feel hopeful for my life now. I feel like I'm a bit late since I'm 24 but it has taken me a while to admit that I was, in fact, struggling with dysphoria. I just thought everyone hated their body and experienced disassociation? lmao. Anyways, seeing your update made me feel even more excited and hopeful about my transition. I'm looking forward to it and all the changes it will bring. I have no idea how my family will react or if I will lose my job... (yes, transphobia is HUGE where I live) but at this point I don't care. I've wasted enough time to please everyone except for myself. So, yeah, I want to live my life. Thanks for being a part of my life with your super sick music and your videos. Take care. 💜
I'm 5 months on T and my period just stopped in November. Before that, just a month on T stopped my debilitating cramps that I could barely function with and turned them into just a handful of "normal bad" cramps. So I'm not promising any guys that T will fix your severe cycle pain, but it fixed mine ! ✨
Ur channel was one of the first ftm channels i have found when my egg cracked, so way before i got on T, and now im 2.5+ years on T. :') Glad to be here for the ride
Bahaha the ass hair updates have me cackling 🤣🤣“it’s just growing, it just grows” 🤣🤣 You never cease to attack these topics with the most hilarious sense of humor - and yet, it’s also so heartwarming 😆🙌
This may not be really related but...i've always noticed that you have an amazing nose! Personally I've had a rhinoplasty about ten years ago and if things were different, I would bring a photo of you (your nose) as an example...I believe that you've been very lucky in your transition; you look very attractive (more than you probably realize) ☺ You are a great inspiration to people your age. Much admiration, Noah 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve never been on Testosterone nor have I planned on it but I’ve felt as if I am partially a boy as when people hear my voice but don’t see me, they will think I am a young boy which is honestly a strange but weird nice experience. I still feel like a girl but it’s mixing together with boy and I like it!
Tell me that youre Okay was my top song on spotify!! I listened to it on repeat for days and it helped me through a lot. Keep doing the amazing music you do❤️
i’ve also seen tons of people who didn’t want bottom growth going on t. i was like that before i went on t, but now i’d be upset if it wasn’t a change i got. i just didn’t like the idea of anything related to down there, and i honestly wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case for a lot of people
Thank you so much for making this video! I find the topic of Testosterone very interesting (afab enby with naturally high T levels) especially with regards to the different outcomes of T. I'm very happy that you feel so much better now!😊
I had zero idea you could use a gel, im nonbinary amab and estrogen would make me more comfortable. Im deathly afraid of needles and this makes me feel more comfortable with the idea. Thanks soo much for informing me on that!!!! ❤❤
Afab enby here. When I was still an egg I had problems with my period because my natural T levels were/are "too" high. Gyn told me the pill (which I taken before but not at that time) would "fix" my E levels. So there are other methods and I can imagine that could be a way to take E as a pill. ( Don't know whether that's done, though)
when i hear about people taking estrogen, it’s generally in the form of a pill! there’s not a testosterone pill approved (in the usa, at least, i know there is in some countries) because of liver concerns, but i rarely hear about people taking e through injections.
transfem HRT is most commonly taken in daily pill form, you wouldn't be taking injections unless you really couldn't afford pills i don't think :) the T blocker tastes like ass though apparently
I'm 3 years on T.. damn just realized that now! And I'm curious to see how others experiences go after the 1-2 year mark as most update videos stop there so thanks for sharing at 4 years ^-^
I am 2 years and almost 5 months on T and my changes weren't extreme as with others but still rather satisfying. Still waiting for most of body fat redistrution and facial hair but my voice has dropped and my body hair is getting more and more. Like I have got a hair on my shoulder. My shoulders are broader now and I have slightly more muscles. I feel more attractive as well but that might be heightened confidence with how I style myself nowadays. My mood and energy levels however are all over the place. I still cannot cry and I get mad way more easily. My energy is sometimes through the roof and I cannot stand still even if I try really hard and sometimes I am complete tired and sluggish and the change is rapid like from one moment to the next I crash emotionally and physically. I am still very happy with my changes.
Those changes in energy levels could stem from other things though, I don't want to be rude but maybe it's some form of adhd (I'm on a journey to find out if I have it and what you said sounded familiar 😅) I'm glad you're happy with your changes due to T 😊
@@sternentigerkatze You are not being rude! I already looked into adhd but I am still gathering evidence to figure out whether the T is increasing the adhd symptoms or if it's something else. It fits with a lot of stuff I have problems with (memory, procrastinating, focus) but I want to keep a broad outlook for other stuff that might also fit before I go for a diagnose of any kind. :) being less dysphoric makes one actually notice other problems one might have and I find that fascinating!
@@sternentigerkatze Imo it makes perfect sense that the heightened energy levels combined with going through puberty might influence how neurodivergency and/or mental illness presents itself. In afab teenagers socialization, hormones, and certain stereotyping makes it harder to get a specific diagnose especially autism and adhd since later might present itself more as intense daydreaming and withdrawl instead of being hyperactive and interrupting class. With socialization and hormones being "rewritten", symptoms might present more obvious to even the uneducated (as in not a therapist or diagnost patient) mind. But I don't know if there are any studies to confirm or deny this, so I am just making up assumptions here :,D
December 12th is the 5th year anniversary of my MtoF bottom surgery. The 13th is my 43rd birthday. Bottom surgery did a lot for my dysphoria. I have been told that I am going to regret transitioning. I started my transition in my early 20s. So it's been like 20 years. So when exactly am I supposed to regret it? My orgasms are much better post op. It's still not uncommon for me to have an orgasm and think "When am I supposed to be regretting this?". Of course TERFs will see this and say that I have autogynephilia. Satan forbid that I enjoy my body. Before I transitioned my body felt like it wasn't mine. These days there are still things I don't like about my body. But at least it feels like it's my body. So I seriously doubt that I will regret no longer feeling alienated in my body and wanting to unalive myself because of the dysphoria. Sadly some people regret their transition. But most of us don't.
So glad it went well for you❤️ sadly, there will always be people out there trying to impose their old-fashioned views :( i guess the best thing we can do is ignore it.
I've had Phalloplasty 4 years ago and at that moment my body finally felt mine for the first time in my life I have 0 bottom dysphoria and 0 top dysphoria (since top surgery too) and it's been so much more comfortable but unfortunately I feel like T didn't change my voice and face that much (it gives me dysphoria) but besides those 2 things I finally feel home in my body 😌 I used to try to hide my body constantly (even alone) and now since I'm post op I almost never wear clothes at home 😅
@@Bloody_Corpses it's such a nice feeling. Before my body felt like it wasn't mine. There are still things I don't entirely like about my body. But at last it feels like my body. I am ok with not liking parts of a body that feels like mine.
@@jennoscura2381 I agree and same I also have several medical issues that makes me wish I didn't have to deal with them but most of them require maintaining with no permanent cure (like eye creams and hot compress for blepharitis and hand creams for eczema and dermatitis) some days I forget to maintain it and I just get very sore but besides slight anger from dealing with them I have slowly coped with that 😌 and more since I at least know what some medical issues I have and I have been able to try to take care of my body more cause now the physical discomfort of my body (besides face) is gone 😌
Fun-ish fact: the one thing that doesn't change ever...is the 👀. They are the window to the soul and never change from birth to death....age and transitioning can never change them or thier shape. Always be yourself because if you don't your eyes will tell all. Never regret having gender dysphoria and transitioning- because its who you truly are. Be honest to your inner soul.
I will never understand why or how anyone could call you a confused lesbian when you're literally dating a man and have mostly identified as liking men exclusively.. do they know something about Corry that we don't??
Honestly, the thing om most scared of when it comes to T is my hair/hairline. I really love my hair, and it sort of hard for me to find out about my genetics (dad stuff). However, I feel like worst case scenario I'll wear a hat or something, idk.
I’m not sure if it’s the same thing with trans guys as cis guys but the cis guys that I know that wear ball caps, lose hair more. I live around a lot of cis guys that wear ball cap’s. My son doesn’t wear a ball cap and when he started on T he quit having his hair thinned ( he used to have to have to have it thinned every time he got his hair cut. ) He does have a higher hairline but that has to do with genetics ( I have one and so did my dad). He can grow a beard but his mustache hardly grows ( it’s weird but he loves that he has a beard). He’s been on T for 4 years now too.
YT shorts is so foreign to me like are there really people who purposefully navigate to the shorts section and scroll like it's tiktok??? but celebratory moment, i have my first appt for getting T on January 10!! i'm 23 and finally have the opportunity to live as myself. im so excited.
I have really bad dysphoria around my hips. I’m hoping to go on T after high school because I struggle so much with school socially and think transitioning now wouldn’t be good for me. have you noticed any difference in your hips? Did fat distribution help slim your hips or make your hips appear more masculine? I’m afraid going on T won’t change the dysphoria around my hips at all.
Even if T doesnt change the shape of that area you can get lipo on that area and the surgeon can "sculpt" that area to be more masculine. Although its not always permanent because if you gain weight or what not
it probably depends on what part of the hips you focus on, but having bigger upper body (thought training/ fat redistribution) helps people's hip dysphoria, even if the hips themselves don't change a ton.
It can vary from person to person, but I've personally noticed that my hips are now comparatively slimmer than they used to be due to fat redistribution
@@camposporium4536 true I agree for me the only fat distribution was my butt getting smaller I had a sore butt for a few weeks but I still have fat over my hips
I'm a year (and one month) on T, the day after I started my hormones I had MASSIVE hot flushes and was so flippin sweaty for a whole week! It was so funny because I have a friend who started the day after me and they were calling me a liar cus changes can't happen that quick and then the next day they were like... why weren't we told they can happen this quick? Because they got hot flushes too XD
I don't understand how people can insinuate that trans people will regret it or change their minds. Like literally around 0,5% will detransition and most of them are still trans, just maybe their health declined or they don't get support from the people around them. Like people should really just leave trans people alone. Trans people are literally just trying to live their lives comfortably. Very happy for you and proud of you Noah :)
my hair was curly before T but it was sooo like frizzy and kinky, now on T its all one texture lmao. it's so cool seeing all the little ways hormones can change ur body outside of all the obvious ones people talk about
Don't want to bring anyone's hopes up, but I started T at 23yo and still grew one shoe size up and 3cm of height. some people say it's also posture change that cause it, especially after top surgery when you get more confident
My hair got curlier and thicker too! Actually, watching your whole video... our transitions are pretty dang similar. Super cool. I'm so happy you're happy! I can relate.
If you want to grow more facial hair Noah, I have some friends who struggled with it for a while so they started shaving their face in the places they wanted to grow hair. Eventually the hair started to grow quicker
Shaving doesnt actually promote hair growth that is myth. Your essentially saving of peech fuzz which is super blonde fine hair but because you shave it it first grows though with a blunted end thus looking thicker but not actually being so.
@@Sl1mch1ckens yeah it won’t give you a full beard or anything, but for my friends they did it to help with dysphoria because it looked like stubble and they did it until they grew proper facial hair
Star on the side of your mouth...amazing! lolI 💫👍🏻 Also, I honestly wish I had your confidence for everything it's been 2 years almost and I'm still trying to figure myself out with all this...right now I'm just glad to watch you talk about your experience, thanks!
Oh god 6:05 I cannot. I've been on T for around... going on 2 years. I have to shave e v e r y day. EVERY day. I have to shave *every* day and it is the *only* thing I regret T for. I'm lazy. I love it so much, and it makes me look even more masculine than I already did, but I'm SO lazy. It's SO bad. I don't have a massive Adam's apple, I have a noticeable one. I already had broad shoulders, but g o o d g o d I am a BLOCK. And I have a gut, yeah, but I have become the V shape rather than the X shape I had. All in all, these things happen faster based off of genetics. It's fascinating if not slightly annoying because I definitely knew the hair would happen but WOW I am a bear. I am a bear twink. It is EVERYWHERE. But that's fine. It's beautiful. I'm so much happier as a guy than I ever was as the horrible person who didn't know what could happen. As for bottom growth, I call it my shrimp. I like my shrimp. My shrimp suits me better than my wallet. Shrimp is fine. Nothing is wrong with Mr. Shrimp. Mr. Shrimp is friend. As for my period, I'm lucky enough that it stopped. I have *horrible* cramps so I know when I was supposed to have it, but God D A N G I'm starting to wonder if I do need to go to a gynecologist to talk about getting it removed when I'm 18 because it is so bad, and the person who gives me my man juice had said that it could cause issues because of family history
Watching this video makes me think I might have higher testosterone levels than other afabs, since my body is generally pretty hairy and I do have ✨the butt hair✨. Also I have pretty broad shoulders and grow like two beard hairs every once in a while, so that makes me really happy :D
I love T. I’ve been using Testogel for several years now. And a micro dose of natural progesterone. Mixing T and progest seemed to balance out any access estrogenic activity. Anything dietary that would up estrogen in me made me so mentally unstable. I don’t like estrogen. I’m upping the T now. Love it. I’m trans enby. I wish I could have liposuction too on my legs. I want to look lean.
it will be interesting how long after starting T when my son starts getting facial hair..Ive been with his dad since he was 21 and he had a good amount of facial hair......my dad at 70 still has a good set of hair....my brother on the other hand is bald (we have a different mother)..
Hi Noah, I'm roughly three and a half years on testosterone. I grew up singing and taking voice lessons. I knew that my voice would change, of course and I love it. I have to continue re-trainning it. However, now that I'm older, I don't have the luxury of my parents paying for voice lessons. Did you sing much pre-T? Do you take voice training? Do you still get voice cracks? I still get the voice cracks, especially when I change from chest voice to head voice. Do you have any suggestions/tips and for singing in general? P.S.- Chasing Daylight is one of my favourite songs!
I'll be one year on T next month! It's insane how different I am them before I started T. I used to never really speak at school or work and I was known as the shy one cause I had such intense voice dysphoria, but now I never shut up. I never thought I'd ever have this much confidence in my life. I'm a totally different person
Have you looked into uterine ablation? It sounds like such a good option. I’m cis fem and I’m considering it for myself just to stop all the period nonsense
I have "facial hair" a little mustard pre t loads of leg hair pre t I just have lots of hair everywhere I am lucky also watching this again 1 month till 5 years!
I have a question. I am 14 and trans and I live in a bad area, where being transphobic and homophobic is normal. I get terrible comments from people almost everyday irl. How do you deal with people saying stuff like that?
hello, i know this was probably for noah but i’m 16 in a similar situation. personally, i’ve found that surrounding myself with good people helps immensely. i know it’s super scary, especially in small towns, but find people you trust and let them in (at your own pace, of course). as far as the homophobic/transphobic comments go, just remember that you’re like.. way hotter than them anyway. that’s what i tell myself at least!! sorry, this got long winded, but good luck with everything!!
I started T in April and it's honestly so slow for me in my opinion. My voice hasn't dropped much and stuff and it's starting to get annoying but guess I just gotta hold out :/
I’m one month on T and so excited! I know trans vids aren’t your main thing but they’ve been so helpful to me :) thank you Noah!!
Does the shot hurt or is there another way
Dude that’s so amazing!
@@River883you can also do patches and gel if shots r bad for u, but shots r more often covered by insurance
@@hometown4791 ok thank you
@@River883 in my expirience it doesn't, you can barely feel it, as long as you relax the muscle you're getting injected into
"God wanted me to become a twink."
🤣 I died 🤣
Love your content, and love witnessing your journey over the years, Noah! Also, the new song rocks.
Noah, I love that you have curly hair. My son has curly hair too. When he first came out, he always had his hair cut extremely short ( typical male hairstyle) but now that he’s more comfortable with himself, he is letting his hair grow out to about the length of yours and it looks great on him.
It's not your son. It's your daughter on roids. And if you keep that up, by the time she's 30 she'll be suffering from osteoporosis and skeleosis as well as hair loss and a number of other things testosterone will effect on a female body that isn't designed to have that much of it
Literally, male levels of testosterone are toxic to a female body. So I'm just warning you now. You can keep going, but you'll be blaming yourself for all the health issues that are waiting for your "son" down the line
@@marioluigi9599literally fucking cry ab it dawg💀
@@whitechocolateb0nes Haha no. I'm not gonna cry about it...
... But if YOU go through with it, I'm gonna LAUGH about it. Like hahaha, as you permanently ruin your body with no chance of reversing it
she's your daughter
I’ve thought about the “have you considered just living as a very masc female?” Indeed I have. And I dread it. It’s not me. I don’t want to. It’s wrong.
So yeah I’m very convinced that I’m trans as well. I’m pre-T, I’m almost 15, been out for a year, made a lot of changes in clothing style and diet, lost some weight, and I feel so much better. My face and chest (I’m small chested, thank the universe) also looks pretty masculine considering that I haven’t taken T and I’m afab, so BIG BIG UP FOR THAT.
Things that have only gotten worse though: My issues with my deadname, and my “satisfaction” with my voice. It’s deep for a female, but it’s not enough for me. One time when I hadn’t spoken in class for a while, when I did I almost stopped dead. It was just way too fucking high. So I’ve started getting voice dysphoria now :’D
Yea that doesn't work. I am a post op trans woman. I have a butch side. Medical transition has allowed me to embrace my butch side. There is no way I would have been able to be a guy who also dresses femme. I hated it when I was expected to dress butch. At my sister's wedding I had to dress like a man. I was miserable. These days if I went to a wedding I would be wearing a suit. Femme wedding appropriate outfits are too femme for my taste.
Mood
@@jennoscura2381 I do feel like that would be case for me too, just opposite way y’know.
But when I start physically looking like a man, if I do choose to go on T and maybe have surgery if I’m certain it’s right for me, I’m sure I’ll be able to embrace my femininity. I liked wearing dresses until a few months ago when my mum taught me about the signals people can send with their attire. And I haven’t worn anything even slightly fem-presenting since, absolutely horrified that my surroundings would just see a girl.
I relate to all of that so much
TESTOSTERONE LETS GOO
Congrats on being first!! 🎉🎉

TESTOSTERONE POG
Tbh i didnt even waych it yet bc i got busy
lmao tester one is the absolute worst thing for a female body. just makes you an ugly woman.
As a kid, I had serious anger issues; to the point that when I told my (transphobic) mother that I wanted to start taking testosterone, her first argument was that it would reverse all the progress I made on controlling my emotions and that I would become a dangerous person. I’m now 8 months on testosterone (and 1 year out of that household), and my moods have stabilized so much. I think between hormone fluctuations having been majorly reduced and my no longer perpetually dealing with the stress of my dysphoria (which is already very much reduced), I’m able to deal with my emotions in much healthier ways because I’m not constantly overwhelmed by them.
HRT may not be for everyone, but it was definitely for me 💙
Hmm normal dude here, not transphobic, just curious, do you think you manage your emotion better as man more than you were a girl/woman?, Thanks have a good day
@@ironman5034 for me I'm 8 years on T and I have been able to manage my emotions so much better now than when I was pre T I was crying constantly having constant mental breakdowns that i feel like I wasn't in control of them because just anything even minor made me cry it was uncomfortable and now my mood is so much more stabilize and I am in much more control of my mood (it could also be because I'm much more comfortable in my body now and I was crying also feeling imprisoned by my body pre everything) and pre T when I got in a fight I would cry and not stop thinking about it ruining my day more and now when I'm on T after a fight I don't cry I would get mad during but right after the argument I'm fine so it was a drastic change for me for the better 😌
@@Bloody_Corpses this sounds so much like my own experience. I'm glad we both are doing better now.
I started watching Noah when I was still identifying as a girl, now I am one year after social transition and two months t, only thing I regret is not going on t sooner loved every change so far, transphobes won´t understand but it´s like being able to finally breathe properly, I am not quite there yet but it has started and that's important for me rn
also wanted to say that Noah helped me realize a lot of stuff and to see hope for me in the future, I don't know what I would do without trans youtube overall honestly, it helped me majorly in my journey
I can also identify with the being able to breathe properly. Physically I haven’t been able to breathe properly for years, because I have the posture of a prawn, but coming out of my shell and telling the world about how I felt really helped and I’m in a much better place, compared to 2 years ago when I was far from out, and very afraid of judgement.
Congratulations btw, you’re incredibly strong for holding out in a wrong-looking body for so long❤️❤️❤️
Hey, congrats on all that. I'm just some cis dude, so I can't really relate directly, but you sound happy and that's fucking awesome.
its all weird stereotypes you people go on about
@@dustygania2425 "you people" is an example of you generalizing based on stereotypes. Maybe you could rephrase your point so it's not self defeating? Cuz to me, it seems like you're making generalizations in order to excuse your own personal desire to attack random strangers because they're different than you.
So let me ask you a serious question. Do you see yourself as someone who attacks people for being different? Or do you see yourself as someone who sticks up for people who are being bullied for being different? It's a serious question and I'd really like an answer.
Im not a transphobe, im not afraid of trans people I just find them sad,. Females arent men and anyone without male gentailia just isnt a man
With my genetics (dad's side) I know that once I go on T that my hairline might recede and that I'll probably grow facial hair a little quicker than most (which I'm not a big fan of facial hair, so I'm a little salty about that) but honestly I don't really care cause I know that going on T will make me at least a little happier than I am right now since I'm not on T yet. Plus, my dad is no longer here so it'd make me happy to look more like him :)
Aww I love this
You hair genetics comes from your mums side so if you're mums dad still has his hair you should be right. But even if he's bald you still have a chance that you might not end up bald just have to wait and see
as far as I know lots of things can be done in terms of receding hairline. often men lose hair because they don't treat it, and cover it up instead. I'm in the same boat with beard, I'm an enby and I don't want a beard really, though I'd like to have more than my pre-t stache. I just like shaving my face lol
good luck with everything! also, even you do experience balding/ a receding hairline there are ways to get around it, so not all hope is lost lol

@@j_fenrir mine was underachiever
Long-ish story:
Sooo im black female at birth but i identify as a masculine non-binary (He/They).
Ever since my period started i would have such terrible period cramps to the point i couldnt even get out of bed sometimes. So my mum took me to the doctor to see if i could have medicine to adjust to the pain. And guessss whattt?? They wanted to put me on a form on OESTROGEN (Which will really suck bc im a masculine non-binary). Honestly when i heard that word, my heart literally dropped. I remember not even listening to anything else the doctor was saying. All i felt spinning round my head was _"you're gonna look more like a female then you already do"._
After getting in the car to leave with my new horrible medication, i asked my mum "why cant i take testosterone instead?" And she had the _biggest_ rant about it like i asked if i could set the car on fire 💀 she kept on saying "thats for MEN, you are a woman! Why would you even want that? Are you a boy??" I just stayed silent as she kept ranting on the way home trying to hold back tears.
After entering my house i collasped in my room and cried. I'm not sure what to do and i know putting this on the internet isnt rlly gonna do anything. But i _had_ to say something. Anywhere.
_-Phoenix, 1/12/2022_
you're a girl, sometimes its hard. You won't ever really be a man. You don't have the parts. Trust me. Im a detransitioned Male to Female to Trans Masc Nonbinary. I have real male parts. You never will. You'll always be seen by men as a woman. I see trans "men/" as women.
@𝕯𝖔𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖆 𝕬𝖗𝖓𝖆𝖚𝖑𝖙 no one can change sex. And honestly you can only be a man or a woman to 100% if you were born one. Male hood = dick. I support your masculine womanhood
I’m so so sorry 😞 it may be one of those situations where to be able to get T, you’ll need to be grown and out of the house. By grown I mean in college to really get away and start working on the ability to afford T for yourself :( And ik ppl always say this but it rlly does get better you just gotta hold on through the situation ok? :( It can be tough but I’m telling you once you make it through, your gonna be like wow look how strong I am for getting through this? You may even be able to help others that have the same experience as you! I personally haven’t told my mom I want to go on T yet so the fact that you even mentioned taking T to yours is SO brave man! Overall I wish you the very best you can do it 🫶🏽
Also idk your parental situation, but just know, if you don’t feel as though you have a supportive family right now, when you go to college, you do find your ppl that end up becoming like a second family
@@KxmpleteKxllapse Tysm ♡
I don't get this misogynistic "you can't conceive anymore!" argument. Like, so? 💀💀
When i was told I wouldn't give birth anymore I celebrated and said bring it on. Like. Cool? I grew up disgusted by childbirth and the thought of EVER having that inside of me. I hated the very idea of it.
If you cannot reproduce it is actually a big deal, because you cannot pass on your genetics which influences generations to come.
Testosterone gel was a game changer for me. I never had a fear of needles and still don’t but I had a few shots go bad and started having anxiety so bad around it I’d skip doses. It wasn’t good. The gel is unfortunately expensive in the states but GoodRX and other things like it can slash the price quite a bit for anyone looking into it. It’s still expensive but I’m lucky to have changed careers recently and can now afford it much easier.
I’ve actually seen some changes intensify since I switched to gel. Even after four years my voice actually got a bit deeper and hair growth has been crazy, everywhere except my head. It’s different for everyone but gel is definitely not somehow weaker than shots. The deciding factor is how your body absorbs it. Some people don’t absorb it well through their skin so that might be where some of the idea of it being weaker comes from.
I've been on the gel for 7 months because I hate needles. I love it.
I was on gel for 2 year, and grew a full beard in about a year. I hate the misconception that gel is weaker.
Gel sounds epic... i assume that cost must be the only reason ppl go for needles?
@@v0id_d3m0n I think it’s a mix of cost and the misinformation around gel. I know for me at the start it was just kind of something I resigned myself to thinking it was the only real option until I did research and found ways to get gel at a discounted price.

This literally came out at the perfect time cause I just went to an appointment with my gender clinic and they said I can start T in Febuary if my parents are okay with it !!
Congrats
Awesome!
what an idiot.
sorry to hear that. you know you'll always be female and treated as a woman
@@JackieDaytonaBar I have a trans friend and no one even slightly suspects it. Im sure you've run into a few trans people in your life without knowing, and thank you for gendering them correctly!
i’m so proud of you dude
I don't know what my birth dad's genetics are like so that'll be a complete surprise to me when I start T. I'm rearly hoping he doesn't have a crappy hairline! After 6 years of being out as trans and giant waiting lists I should be starting by end of this year 😃💙. Have always loved you're videos man!
same :D
thank you for making this video because my family thinks i’m going to be depressed and super unhappy and regret my transition years down the line, just cause they heard others stories on people that detransitioned that regretted it, and just because they don’t fully understand what being trans is at the moment. (hopefully they’ll come around one day though) anyways, i just got a call today and im pretty sure i’m on a 9 month waitlist? so i’m really happy. and besides, how could i ever regret transitioning when all i’ve been wanting for so long is to look like a boy, to look like the real me? to have a flat chest, deeper voice, and to look and feel like myself for YEARS? i am extremely uncomfortable with my chest and my voice and so much other stuff that makes me dysphoric. so transitioning, is something i’d never regret because i know i’d feel more myself than i’d ever been after spending so many years hating my body and being disgusted with it. only thing i regret is not starting my process of transitioning earlier, but other than that, i know i’d be so much happier and comfortable with myself :) trans healthcare saves lives guys. i never ever thought i would be able to even get on a waitlist, yet it’s happening. to my trans folks, if you’re not able to transition or come out yet for whatever reason, please hang in there, and be patient. i never thought my day would come, but for me i’m getting started on my transition. so know that your day will come too, i promise 🏳️⚧️🫶🏼
I had my first psychiatrist appointment this week to FINALLY start my medical transition and I feel hopeful for my life now. I feel like I'm a bit late since I'm 24 but it has taken me a while to admit that I was, in fact, struggling with dysphoria. I just thought everyone hated their body and experienced disassociation? lmao. Anyways, seeing your update made me feel even more excited and hopeful about my transition. I'm looking forward to it and all the changes it will bring. I have no idea how my family will react or if I will lose my job... (yes, transphobia is HUGE where I live) but at this point I don't care. I've wasted enough time to please everyone except for myself. So, yeah, I want to live my life. Thanks for being a part of my life with your super sick music and your videos. Take care. 💜
I wish you all the best as you continue to discover and pursue the self that feels most authentic to you! 🤍🤍🤍
“I did not grow feet” -Noah 2022
I'm 5 months on T and my period just stopped in November. Before that, just a month on T stopped my debilitating cramps that I could barely function with and turned them into just a handful of "normal bad" cramps. So I'm not promising any guys that T will fix your severe cycle pain, but it fixed mine ! ✨
Don't you love how complete strangers tell YOU what's going on in your mind? Wow. Audacious AF.
4 Years Later, & Still SO Proud Of You ❤️
Ur channel was one of the first ftm channels i have found when my egg cracked, so way before i got on T, and now im 2.5+ years on T. :') Glad to be here for the ride
his confidence grew so muchhhh
7 months on T gel. I no longer have dysphoria about my voice, and I love it!!
Awww that's amazing! 🤗
Bahaha the ass hair updates have me cackling 🤣🤣“it’s just growing, it just grows” 🤣🤣
You never cease to attack these topics with the most hilarious sense of humor - and yet, it’s also so heartwarming 😆🙌
You were my #1 on Spotify unwrapped
This may not be really related but...i've always noticed that you have an amazing nose! Personally I've had a rhinoplasty about ten years ago and if things were different, I would bring a photo of you (your nose) as an example...I believe that you've been very lucky in your transition; you look very attractive (more than you probably realize) ☺ You are a great inspiration to people your age. Much admiration, Noah 👍🏻👍🏻
Noah gives me hope for life
This was fascinating and edifying to watch. Thank you for sharing this.
I'm so happy for you Noah. :) Also, super excited for you to tour in Toronto!!!
I’ve never been on Testosterone nor have I planned on it but I’ve felt as if I am partially a boy as when people hear my voice but don’t see me, they will think I am a young boy which is honestly a strange but weird nice experience. I still feel like a girl but it’s mixing together with boy and I like it!
Tell me that youre Okay was my top song on spotify!! I listened to it on repeat for days and it helped me through a lot. Keep doing the amazing music you do❤️
Can you do a tutorial on how you make your hair so fluffy and soft looking?
He doesn't wash it with shampoo, just water
It’s just bleached to death lmao 😂
You got so much more confident it’s crazy 😊
i’ve also seen tons of people who didn’t want bottom growth going on t. i was like that before i went on t, but now i’d be upset if it wasn’t a change i got. i just didn’t like the idea of anything related to down there, and i honestly wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case for a lot of people
Thank you so much for making this video! I find the topic of Testosterone very interesting (afab enby with naturally high T levels) especially with regards to the different outcomes of T. I'm very happy that you feel so much better now!😊
I had zero idea you could use a gel, im nonbinary amab and estrogen would make me more comfortable. Im deathly afraid of needles and this makes me feel more comfortable with the idea. Thanks soo much for informing me on that!!!! ❤❤
Afab enby here. When I was still an egg I had problems with my period because my natural T levels were/are "too" high. Gyn told me the pill (which I taken before but not at that time) would "fix" my E levels. So there are other methods and I can imagine that could be a way to take E as a pill. ( Don't know whether that's done, though)
when i hear about people taking estrogen, it’s generally in the form of a pill! there’s not a testosterone pill approved (in the usa, at least, i know there is in some countries) because of liver concerns, but i rarely hear about people taking e through injections.
transfem HRT is most commonly taken in daily pill form, you wouldn't be taking injections unless you really couldn't afford pills i don't think :) the T blocker tastes like ass though apparently
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH BRO
Happy youre dping well Noah! Love to see your living happily and confidently as yourself.

I'm 3 years on T.. damn just realized that now! And I'm curious to see how others experiences go after the 1-2 year mark as most update videos stop there so thanks for sharing at 4 years ^-^
I am 2 years and almost 5 months on T and my changes weren't extreme as with others but still rather satisfying. Still waiting for most of body fat redistrution and facial hair but my voice has dropped and my body hair is getting more and more. Like I have got a hair on my shoulder. My shoulders are broader now and I have slightly more muscles. I feel more attractive as well but that might be heightened confidence with how I style myself nowadays. My mood and energy levels however are all over the place. I still cannot cry and I get mad way more easily. My energy is sometimes through the roof and I cannot stand still even if I try really hard and sometimes I am complete tired and sluggish and the change is rapid like from one moment to the next I crash emotionally and physically. I am still very happy with my changes.
Those changes in energy levels could stem from other things though, I don't want to be rude but maybe it's some form of adhd (I'm on a journey to find out if I have it and what you said sounded familiar 😅) I'm glad you're happy with your changes due to T 😊
@@sternentigerkatze You are not being rude! I already looked into adhd but I am still gathering evidence to figure out whether the T is increasing the adhd symptoms or if it's something else. It fits with a lot of stuff I have problems with (memory, procrastinating, focus) but I want to keep a broad outlook for other stuff that might also fit before I go for a diagnose of any kind. :) being less dysphoric makes one actually notice other problems one might have and I find that fascinating!
@@idechnjbmI'm actually wondering about the same thing (relationship Tadhd)
@@sternentigerkatze Imo it makes perfect sense that the heightened energy levels combined with going through puberty might influence how neurodivergency and/or mental illness presents itself.
In afab teenagers socialization, hormones, and certain stereotyping makes it harder to get a specific diagnose especially autism and adhd since later might present itself more as intense daydreaming and withdrawl instead of being hyperactive and interrupting class.
With socialization and hormones being "rewritten", symptoms might present more obvious to even the uneducated (as in not a therapist or diagnost patient) mind.
But I don't know if there are any studies to confirm or deny this, so I am just making up assumptions here :,D
It’s great to see that you’re doing so well, as well as living happily as yourself, Noah!! Happy 4yrs on T!!
December 12th is the 5th year anniversary of my MtoF bottom surgery. The 13th is my 43rd birthday. Bottom surgery did a lot for my dysphoria. I have been told that I am going to regret transitioning. I started my transition in my early 20s. So it's been like 20 years. So when exactly am I supposed to regret it? My orgasms are much better post op. It's still not uncommon for me to have an orgasm and think "When am I supposed to be regretting this?". Of course TERFs will see this and say that I have autogynephilia. Satan forbid that I enjoy my body. Before I transitioned my body felt like it wasn't mine. These days there are still things I don't like about my body. But at least it feels like it's my body. So I seriously doubt that I will regret no longer feeling alienated in my body and wanting to unalive myself because of the dysphoria. Sadly some people regret their transition. But most of us don't.
So glad it went well for you❤️ sadly, there will always be people out there trying to impose their old-fashioned views :( i guess the best thing we can do is ignore it.
I've had Phalloplasty 4 years ago and at that moment my body finally felt mine for the first time in my life I have 0 bottom dysphoria and 0 top dysphoria (since top surgery too) and it's been so much more comfortable but unfortunately I feel like T didn't change my voice and face that much (it gives me dysphoria) but besides those 2 things I finally feel home in my body 😌 I used to try to hide my body constantly (even alone) and now since I'm post op I almost never wear clothes at home 😅
@@Bloody_Corpses it's such a nice feeling. Before my body felt like it wasn't mine. There are still things I don't entirely like about my body. But at last it feels like my body. I am ok with not liking parts of a body that feels like mine.
@@jennoscura2381 I agree and same I also have several medical issues that makes me wish I didn't have to deal with them but most of them require maintaining with no permanent cure (like eye creams and hot compress for blepharitis and hand creams for eczema and dermatitis) some days I forget to maintain it and I just get very sore but besides slight anger from dealing with them I have slowly coped with that 😌 and more since I at least know what some medical issues I have and I have been able to try to take care of my body more cause now the physical discomfort of my body (besides face) is gone 😌
@@Bloody_Corpses I am chronically ill and have to take medications every day. It is what it is.
Fun-ish fact: the one thing that doesn't change ever...is the 👀. They are the window to the soul and never change from birth to death....age and transitioning can never change them or thier shape. Always be yourself because if you don't your eyes will tell all. Never regret having gender dysphoria and transitioning- because its who you truly are. Be honest to your inner soul.
I’m sorry I’m commenting soo early but 4 years omg!!! Wow I remember watching the starting testosterone video and now here I am 1 year on T
im starting testosterone in a few months and im so excited :'D

@@myutube5882 truu
WOAH! 3 vs 4 months was fantastic!
Honestly, the thing om most scared of when it comes to T is my hair/hairline. I really love my hair, and it sort of hard for me to find out about my genetics (dad stuff). However, I feel like worst case scenario I'll wear a hat or something, idk.
Honestly same, so damn scared of that due to not knowing dad's genetics!
I’m not sure if it’s the same thing with trans guys as cis guys but the cis guys that I know that wear ball caps, lose hair more. I live around a lot of cis guys that wear ball cap’s.
My son doesn’t wear a ball cap and when he started on T he quit having his hair thinned ( he used to have to have to have it thinned every time he got his hair cut. ) He does have a higher hairline but that has to do with genetics ( I have one and so did my dad). He can grow a beard but his mustache hardly grows ( it’s weird but he loves that he has a beard). He’s been on T for 4 years now too.
or a wig. they make pretty good wigs these days for men and women
YT shorts is so foreign to me like are there really people who purposefully navigate to the shorts section and scroll like it's tiktok??? but celebratory moment, i have my first appt for getting T on January 10!! i'm 23 and finally have the opportunity to live as myself. im so excited.

YOU MAKE MY DAY
Thank you so much for this video Noah! It's really helpful because I might start hormones tomorrow and I'm so excited !

Lezzz goooo 4 years Yas
I have really bad dysphoria around my hips. I’m hoping to go on T after high school because I struggle so much with school socially and think transitioning now wouldn’t be good for me. have you noticed any difference in your hips? Did fat distribution help slim your hips or make your hips appear more masculine? I’m afraid going on T won’t change the dysphoria around my hips at all.
Even if T doesnt change the shape of that area you can get lipo on that area and the surgeon can "sculpt" that area to be more masculine. Although its not always permanent because if you gain weight or what not
it probably depends on what part of the hips you focus on, but having bigger upper body (thought training/ fat redistribution) helps people's hip dysphoria, even if the hips themselves don't change a ton.
It can vary from person to person, but I've personally noticed that my hips are now comparatively slimmer than they used to be due to fat redistribution
@@camposporium4536 true I agree for me the only fat distribution was my butt getting smaller I had a sore butt for a few weeks but I still have fat over my hips
This video reminded me to put my T gel on, thank you!!
lalala was a fuckin banger cant wait for the next ep
I'm a year (and one month) on T, the day after I started my hormones I had MASSIVE hot flushes and was so flippin sweaty for a whole week! It was so funny because I have a friend who started the day after me and they were calling me a liar cus changes can't happen that quick and then the next day they were like... why weren't we told they can happen this quick? Because they got hot flushes too XD
I don't understand how people can insinuate that trans people will regret it or change their minds. Like literally around 0,5% will detransition and most of them are still trans, just maybe their health declined or they don't get support from the people around them. Like people should really just leave trans people alone. Trans people are literally just trying to live their lives comfortably. Very happy for you and proud of you Noah :)
If some have to go off because their health declined, wouldn't that tell you it isn't physically healthy to transition?
You're the best!! U made me realise I'm trans and helped me so much:)
my hair was curly before T but it was sooo like frizzy and kinky, now on T its all one texture lmao. it's so cool seeing all the little ways hormones can change ur body outside of all the obvious ones people talk about
Thanks 🙏 for great work. I feel very fortunate to have someone like you. I prays you
Don't want to bring anyone's hopes up, but I started T at 23yo and still grew one shoe size up and 3cm of height. some people say it's also posture change that cause it, especially after top surgery when you get more confident
My hair got curlier and thicker too! Actually, watching your whole video... our transitions are pretty dang similar. Super cool. I'm so happy you're happy! I can relate.
today a friend of mine told me he'd be starting testosterone next week!!!!
You’re such an inspiration ✨❤️
so real i’m gonna start testosterone soon and i’m so excited

I’m sorry but your eyes are SO AMAZING NOAH LIKE WHAT- I DIDNT HEAR HALF OF WHAT YOU SAID CUZ I WAS JUST STARING AT THEM- 💀💀
If you want to grow more facial hair Noah, I have some friends who struggled with it for a while so they started shaving their face in the places they wanted to grow hair. Eventually the hair started to grow quicker
Shaving doesnt actually promote hair growth that is myth. Your essentially saving of peech fuzz which is super blonde fine hair but because you shave it it first grows though with a blunted end thus looking thicker but not actually being so.
@@Sl1mch1ckens yeah it won’t give you a full beard or anything, but for my friends they did it to help with dysphoria because it looked like stubble and they did it until they grew proper facial hair

Also, I honestly wish I had your confidence for everything it's been 2 years almost and I'm still trying to figure myself out with all this...right now I'm just glad to watch you talk about your experience, thanks!
its blown my mind , the bit about the nose getting bigger i did not know that
Oh god 6:05
I cannot. I've been on T for around... going on 2 years. I have to shave e v e r y day. EVERY day.
I have to shave *every* day and it is the *only* thing I regret T for. I'm lazy. I love it so much, and it makes me look even more masculine than I already did, but I'm SO lazy. It's SO bad.
I don't have a massive Adam's apple, I have a noticeable one. I already had broad shoulders, but g o o d g o d I am a BLOCK. And I have a gut, yeah, but I have become the V shape rather than the X shape I had.
All in all, these things happen faster based off of genetics. It's fascinating if not slightly annoying because I definitely knew the hair would happen but WOW I am a bear. I am a bear twink. It is EVERYWHERE.
But that's fine. It's beautiful. I'm so much happier as a guy than I ever was as the horrible person who didn't know what could happen.
As for bottom growth, I call it my shrimp. I like my shrimp. My shrimp suits me better than my wallet. Shrimp is fine. Nothing is wrong with Mr. Shrimp. Mr. Shrimp is friend.
As for my period, I'm lucky enough that it stopped. I have *horrible* cramps so I know when I was supposed to have it, but God D A N G I'm starting to wonder if I do need to go to a gynecologist to talk about getting it removed when I'm 18 because it is so bad, and the person who gives me my man juice had said that it could cause issues because of family history
Yippie!
Yippee!!
Do you have to start T on shots or can you start immediately on gel? (Love your videos btw)
my friend started directly on gel!
@@spence3415 THANK YOU!!!
I started directly on gel; and it's been great so far!
Early gang ig
I love this voice so much 7:24
I am so happy for you Noah
Watching this video makes me think I might have higher testosterone levels than other afabs, since my body is generally pretty hairy and I do have ✨the butt hair✨. Also I have pretty broad shoulders and grow like two beard hairs every once in a while, so that makes me really happy :D
i don’t think there’s a lot of a change in your voice from the past few years but you can definitely tell it’s like settled? if that makes sense lol
I've actually been seeing these comments for a while now. Mostly under Noah's videos. I reported a handful of those hate comments btw
I love T. I’ve been using Testogel for several years now. And a micro dose of natural progesterone. Mixing T and progest seemed to balance out any access estrogenic activity. Anything dietary that would up estrogen in me made me so mentally unstable. I don’t like estrogen. I’m upping the T now. Love it. I’m trans enby. I wish I could have liposuction too on my legs. I want to look lean.
it will be interesting how long after starting T when my son starts getting facial hair..Ive been with his dad since he was 21 and he had a good amount of facial hair......my dad at 70 still has a good set of hair....my brother on the other hand is bald (we have a different mother)..
Hi Noah,
I'm roughly three and a half years on testosterone. I grew up singing and taking voice lessons. I knew that my voice would change, of course and I love it. I have to continue re-trainning it. However, now that I'm older, I don't have the luxury of my parents paying for voice lessons.
Did you sing much pre-T?
Do you take voice training? Do you still get voice cracks?
I still get the voice cracks, especially when I change from chest voice to head voice.
Do you have any suggestions/tips and for singing in general?
P.S.- Chasing Daylight is one of my favourite songs!
SLAY KING ✨🔥
I'll be one year on T next month! It's insane how different I am them before I started T. I used to never really speak at school or work and I was known as the shy one cause I had such intense voice dysphoria, but now I never shut up. I never thought I'd ever have this much confidence in my life. I'm a totally different person
Thanks for being your
Self
i love these
Have you looked into uterine ablation? It sounds like such a good option. I’m cis fem and I’m considering it for myself just to stop all the period nonsense
god i wish that were me
edit: yay i'm on t
Keep up the great work
I have "facial hair" a little mustard pre t loads of leg hair pre t I just have lots of hair everywhere I am lucky also watching this again 1 month till 5 years!
I have a question. I am 14 and trans and I live in a bad area, where being transphobic and homophobic is normal. I get terrible comments from people almost everyday irl. How do you deal with people saying stuff like that?
hello, i know this was probably for noah but i’m 16 in a similar situation. personally, i’ve found that surrounding myself with good people helps immensely. i know it’s super scary, especially in small towns, but find people you trust and let them in (at your own pace, of course). as far as the homophobic/transphobic comments go, just remember that you’re like.. way hotter than them anyway. that’s what i tell myself at least!! sorry, this got long winded, but good luck with everything!!
@@AceWinkeler ty for the advice! :)
I started T in April and it's honestly so slow for me in my opinion. My voice hasn't dropped much and stuff and it's starting to get annoying but guess I just gotta hold out :/
do you have recordings of your voice in april and now?
