NoahFinnce for me I just stopped going to bathroom in public, because one I don’t want to go to the woman’s because that would make me feel terrible and wrong and I don’t want to go to the men’s to avoid the chance they call me a girl and because I agree guy bathrooms are disgusting. As a trans guy it’s frustrating that my favorite color is pink but I just like it, it relaxes me but then I’m scared of being misgendered. Being called sister. And you know what I will use my front hole! Even as a guy I will defend how someone talks about a woman and it’s even more annoying when they question you for that?? Like fuck off.
It's the same with Spain, I've lived here all my life, speaking loudly and expressing yourself with your hands is super normal so when i speak to a foreigner they assume im gay or sumn lmao
Really? I learned to speak with my hands in speeches from my sophomore year of high school speech teacher but didn’t start using it until a year or two when I actually started making videos
Some people are just obsessed with gendering things when in reality a lot of things are just things people do rather then being connected to your gender.
@@Sam-zu5mr I get that you have the right intentions and i do apreciate that but first of it aint that serious but also being trans sucks. You won't ever know that because ur cis (which there isnt anything bad about that) but it is a struggle ya know, we struggle with that daily and can't ever forget about that so it's really hard to be positive. Tough love dont work here you gotta be able to see that it disables us in a way that makes us feel horrible about ourselves everyday. And each and every trans person has to work really hard to accept themselves and try to live with what we are and cant change.
I know two people who did this one saying he is mtf. He also bullies me for years and is not all there. But I’m not misgendering I promise he’s literally growing his beard.
its annoying when you want to wear stylish men clothes like jeans and shirts but they’re perceived as either gay clothes or androgynous clothes and you dont pass enough to wear them, so you’re forced to just wear sweatpants and hoodies
absolutely! or take man buns. i was growing one because i really like them, but felt more and more dysphoric each week so i had to cut it off, i f*cking hate it
And I'm just somewhere out in the field questioning everything. Like "I wonder what they're going through?" "Why do those people not understand how others feel?" "Why do I do this and where do I stand?"
Choosing a name is like choosing a pair of glasses. Like some of them look nice but don't suit my face. I wanted to be called Harrison but my face isn't a Harrison face
You pick whatever name you like! Screw the haters. Nobody "looks like" their name imo. Find what feels right for you. And you're allowed to change your mind as well. I was trying to find a more "normal" name and then was like fuck it my name is the only one that actually feels right to me and it's like the name chose me and has a story to it so screw them if they wanted it to be a more known traditionally masculine name cause your name is about being who you are regardless.
@@curiousnerdkitteh for me I feel like I look like an Evan. Other names that sound/look more cool to me just don't fit me that well. I also love the name Marco, but it doesn't suit me even for a middle name, so I chose Mark haha
A thing that I find annoying is when someone jokes, or just says, that something is an inherently ‘girl thing’ to do and my brain decides that I need to avoid doing that thing at all costs. It’s even to the point where if I’m upset and I need to cry, I’ll literally bottle it up so hard that my head hurts, just to avoid being perceived as a girl.
I have so much social dysphoria I basically only wear super masc clothing and almost exclusively wear black/grey and a lot of it is to do with these ridiculous perceptions of gender and while I'm not read as male yet I just don't feel like I can dress however I want just in what makes me feel most comfortable and also that people will actually believe me about my gender. It really sucks. But tbh I do also enjoy finally getting to wear what I was never allowed to before so it also does feel empowering in a way. But, I'd like the changes to happen so I have more options.
Oh my gosh I'm so sorry you have to go through that. There are certain things that are healthy for every human being and you shouldn't have to hurt yourself to feel like you're a man because you are a man.
Damn. Me too. Cryings my big one. I find myself accidentally adopting these toxic masc stereotypes to a point where it’s not good for me. Just because I really really worry about not being “man” enough, when I *know* it’s stupid.
I literally cannot use any gendered toilets because I don’t look enough like a woman or a man to use either bathroom without getting at least a few weird looks
I found it really weird to be called by my new name but just when it was from my parents. i had this feeling of 'guilt' because they gave me a name which they liked and then i changed that. i recently read something about a father who told his trans kid "the name we gave to you was a gift. when you don't like it you can change it, that is all to you." Luckily i have the privilege to have a supporting family but i think you get my point from the beginning.
I can thoroughly understand that. I'm not trans, but have changed my name. I was really nervous about telling my Dad since it meant I'd no longer be using his surname; he was fine about it though.
I attempted on trying to get my parents to call me by my preferred name but their response was “we have legal naming rights of you so we are not calling you anything other than *birthname*” or something they picked but they had a list of weird requirements for a name so I just gave up haha
I’m pre-transition and I’ve only come out to some friends about being trans. So even though I didn’t ask, one of my friends have started using “he” on me. I appreciate it but also, I don’t look like a guy. So when they‘re talking to another person about me and saying “he”, I just think in my head, “other person, please don’t question it, please don’t, please”
That happens to me too. My friend referred to me as he and someone else questioned that she called me he and I almost smacked my friend because I don't want to be outed to the fuckboys quite yet
Same. There is this dual enrollment class I take that is apart from my regular school, also most of my classmate are from other schools and I came out to them, so now they call me by "he/him" pronouns but I get scared when someone from my school is staying in my classroom when they call me "he".
This. One of my friends recently found out about me (friend I’ve had for around seven years) being trans and she just started using the correct pronouns after she knew what it was. She knows lots of people that don’t know me (and I don’t pass, so this would be confusing for them) and she likes to talk about her friends a lot. If any of them ask I’m just saying “different person, different person.”
THE HANDSHAKE THING YES The men in my family and my parents' friends separate very clearly how they say hello to men and to women and it makes me dysphoric when they go for the weird hug kiss thing cause that's how they do it with women and it feels like they're just ignoring that I'm trans, and it's always super awkward cause the ones that don't go straight to the hug don't really know what to do (I'm not sure if it's cause I'm non binary (although I present masc most of the time and use he/him and my name is Noah so) or just cause I'm trans) and it's just ugh I hate it just treat me like you treat cis guys
I love that you talk about how rigid the stereotypes and gender expression “rules” are in the trans community. I can’t tell you how many people tell me to cut my hair short or do this or that “hyper masculine” thing to pass better. I always bring up the example of my cis father to help explain. He’s a pretty effeminate dude with long hair and long nails and he talks with his hands a lot. Yet no one says he isn’t a man. And frankly, my conception of masculinity is at least partially formed by the way he expressed his gender. To me, long hair is both masc and fem. I like my long hair. I’m keeping it!
i'm (probably) transmasc with long hair too, my dad and brother (the only men in the house) have always had long hair so i don't see it as a fem thing lol and think of all the men in lotr and stuff, they all have long hair and are the embodiment of manly manness
I was at a bar in Raleigh, North Carolina USA a few weeks ago and there was a transwoman who didn't quite pass. She was older and this is a college crowd type bar. I smiled at her because she was wearing this really cute outfit with a 50s kind of dress. Later I saw her walk into the mens' room, and I was so confused for a second! Then I remembered that this is NC, and last year a transwoman was attacked in the bathroom at another bar in Raleigh:( I don't understand why another person's "private parts" offends people so much, it is private, none of your business. BTW, I hope I used all of the correct terms and didn't offend anyone, please let me know if I did!
My dad let me go in the men’s toilets once and I thought he was finally excepting and it later turned out he let me because he was trying to scare me into not wanting to go in them.
I’ve been watching this channel for almost a year now and I’m a cis hetero female and I just watch cuz I want to b able to better understand people around me and I Noah is cute and his personality is genuinely entertaining
There’s nothing manly abouat here hahahahahaa your delusional here hair here face here jaw line here skin here hands here mannerisms the way she moans she talks to much the way she moves she thinks like a woman MEN DONT ACT LIKE THIS .
Omg the not knowing if I pass is terrifying. I’m 14 so I easily pass as like 12, I have quite a masculine face and I’ve never been misgendered by a stranger. But I once went quite a while before getting my haircut and like a 7 year old asked if I was a boy or a girl and I felt like I’d been punched
Nate the Cheesebag my daughter is 4 and she constantly asks me “is that a boy or a girl” kids are just naturally curious and some of them are more vocal with their questions.
As a parent of a young child, I just want to say that the kid likely saw you as male, but 'boys don't have long hair' (~sigh~) & it was throwing the kid off, thus the question. I dunno if that helps you feel better at all?
For me the most annoying is not being able to be as active as I'd like to because of binding. I almost fainted today while biking. Also that team sports are out of the question.
Have you guys tried trans tape? Or something similar. I’m not sure if it’s just US based but i use it and i go rock climbing and biking with it (doesn’t restrict breathing at all)
@@cameron4015 Is it similar to kt tape? I've never even heard of it tbh. I just know that kt tape doesn't work for me because it doesn't work well enough for me to be comfortable going out of the house with it.
Bendegúz Rezneki I’ve never tried KT tape so I couldn’t say for sure but reviews of people saying they tried both say trans tape is different because it is designed for alternative binging unlike KT tape
I tried explaining dysphoria to my sister once (I’m still closeted, it was more of me trying to get her to accept trans people before I came out) and she was just.. so surprised that it was a thing. I was like “I’m pretty sure 99.9% of trans people transition bc of dysphoria” and she went “I don’t think so” Girlie you aren’t the trans one, I am-
i was chatting to my friend (he's ftm and i'm cis)about trans stuff and it turns out i know more about physically transitioning than he does -lol- i'm referring him to your videos :)
Everything you say is what I have gone through and am going through lol... no matter how many lgbtq vids that I watch, I could go to an island, leave on my own, meet people and rediscover the same struggles if I came out as trans over again
Im going to start T... every two weeks and before even starting, I already know the drag of it having to be taken forever... I am frustrated by the medical bs, I dont want to hurt myself every two weeks.... just to be a man, but I cant be not a man without T apparantly so f my life... ps: I had to do two blood tests before starting T (for reducing price of T, which is otherwise not that pricy here luckily and I didnt do the second blood check cos... I hate needles, and I know, why starting T then? Haha..... *sigh* Idk, dysphoria is sh*t I guess. Im already sweaty about all of this bs to overcome
There is nothing worse, than a group of girls talking in the bathroom while being in different stalls. It makes me feel so out of place and like an intruder to there privacy as women when I just want to piss and get out of there as soon as possible :/
I am a cis girl and I love your Chanel! I was so confused when you said if your not trans thanks for being here because it’s so normal for me to watch your videos, it’s educational and today I used all the stuff you talk about to educate a group of teens!
With the name change thing it's also extra annoying that I'm Polish but live in England. It has to be pronounced in both languages. I also went Bow for two years before deciding I'm gonna come out and have to change it. So when people judge my choice (Bruno) it's SO annoying. Cuz I had to jump through so many hoops already. - I like the name - Can be pronounced in Polish and English - Works for Bow as a nickname - Is unique (cuz I have A LOT of uncles) - Is short cuz I have a long sir name - Easy to pronounce in both languages cuz once again the sir name is long and complicated People just need to give me a break cuz I've had enough of it.
I'm not trans but my friends are and these videos really help me understand what they go through on a day to day basis. I want to support my friends to the best of my abilities and these types of videos really help
Ok thank you for talking about this, I’m a trans femboy and I felt like people and close lgbtq+ friends just thought I was a girl or was still questioning my gender simply because I still dressed feminine or unisex, and sometimes masculine when I feel particularly disphoric that day and want people to pass me as a guy by first glances. But i mainly dress feminine which a lot of even my trans friends are confused on and some think maybe I’m just not out to my family yet (I’m not but my mom know a little that I like girls too, she doesn’t know my exact sexuality cuz it wasn’t a sit down conversation we had about, it was just a fast thing) but like, my mom lets me wear whatever I want, when I got in alternative fashion she has learned to stop judging me for it and doesn’t question what I buy, she even grown to like what I wear, but uh back to the point. I just hate the fact that people think, just because you’re trans you have to automatically look like the stereotypical gender you feel comfortable with, and for some reason I can’t stop thinking of the day I told my bi or pan (don’t know their exact sexuality all I know is that they like boys and girls too) friend who used to have a crush on me that I was Trans and identified as a Demi-boy because she said, when talking to other friends to correct them when they use the wrong pronouns, “uhm, no, they are a male apparently and they go by he/they pronouns” What stuck out to me is that she said “apparently”. Like bro do you think I’m still questioning it or something or did you do it on purpose simply because I was wearing feminine attire? Idk why I keep thinking of that day, it’s just keeps pissing me off each time. Anyways idk what to say anymore, I love your videos!
There was this one guy at a party who was like: wow, you're trans? Cool! I watched so many documentaries about transpeople but I never met one, let's talk about that, actually let me tell you what being trans is like" and I was just sitting there as I do at 70% of all parties like - I don't want to talk about trans issues when I'm trying to have a good time
The one good thing about Covid is that, with a mask on, my face smush is hidden and I pass (I’m ftm). Like the rest of my face is perfectly masculine so it’s just the mask saving me😂
honestly im just following all of jamies friends cause my algorithm has been overrun by transphobes and homophobes and i ma determined to only see positivity and queer people enjoying life. I love your videos and your hoodie! hehe
If someone tells me I look masculine now, I would be happy since I don’t pass at all. However if I had transitioned completely on testosterone and had surgery and someone said I looked masculine my brain would flip that and be like ‘wait, did I look feminine yesterday? Or are they trying to make me feel better because I look fem today??’
i still remember getting my hopes up when i reached the 14 month mark on the waiting list.. looking back at the letter it said 14-18 months...DEPRESSION..... Reached the 18 month mark.... NO APPOINTMENT..... Another 6 months later...... FINALLY. Also remember thinking that my time on the waiting list had begun... a month later..... got a letter saying that i had just been put on the waiting list..... liFE
this video hit me so hard oh my god. (im ftm) been on T for almost 3 months now. I take my shots weekly and man it’s already tiring 😬 wish I could do it every 3 weeks. This morning I had to take it and had my first time with some trouble getting the needle through my skin 🙄 It took 2 tries to finally get it to work, so frustrating. And AIRPORTS are AWFUL if you haven’t had anything legally changed yet. I’m in the process of getting my name changed, but it’s still legally my deadname (it gives me a HELL of a lot of dysphoria). These airport people ask me to say my name while going through security so many times and refer to me as my deadname, and they look so confused the whole time!! They look at me and see this young man then see my legal name and they’re like *wtf* gotta love being trans 😕
9:40 I may be a bit late here, but Oh my god. Even as a Cis Male, our bathrooms disgust me. I also don't understand how so many people miss. And the problem is, even one guy who pisses on the seat basically forces everyone after him to piss standing, even if they would want to sit down because they don't want to piss on the seat by accident.
God, hearing all this makes me so happy to live in germany. Here you get your T shots every 3 months (after some time of smaller shots for like half a year) and at that appointment you can get your blood checked as well. For the name changing, officially that sucks too because those 'professionals' that 'confirm' that you‘re transgender are asking you questions about your sexual preferences and if you penetrate or get penetrated during sex (We‘re talking about necessary stuff for changing the NAME, just to remind you. I can’t tell you wtf this law is… but at least it’s worked on right now…) But there is a law gap in some areas where you can avoid all that shit and just need a certification from your therapist and then it works. (I did that and it took waaaaay less time than the other way wich some of my friends chose. And without the inappropriate questions) So man, compared from what you‘re telling Noah, I’m so glad I‘ve got it very chill here. It sucks to hear that other countries are over all so weird as mine is with the name changing.
Agree with all of those! The number of frustrating things we face on a weekly, and dayly basis on top of you know the obvious is really frustrating sometimes.
I've been on T for over 10 year. I went to the dentist a month ago and they still had my gender wrong in the system. Just when you think you have everything changed.
Another thing about the men's toilets is the locks!!!! I stg 7 out of 10 locks are broken and you have to do that awkward pee while holding the door closed
I'm genderfluid and have always hated my birth name, so now I face the task of coming up with one name that can go either way or two names for my masculine and feminine days. I'm so indecisive and it suuuucks
I mean, the whole video is relateable as heck. loved your points about the community, I feel the same. The people not knowing if they should do the hug or handshake is RIDICULOUS this time of year 😅
I'm in the middle of the process for all the name change and birth certificate, ID etc stuff and I'm already loosing my mind. Its just so annoying bc its all so dependent on some ppl like one of them needs more time the whole process is on hold. U just need so many forms and so many approvals and then sending them to doctors and them confirming and...jesus Christ IS IT ANNOYING
Dude, I feel you on these things. Even after 3 years (as of March 2020) of medically transitioning, I still get all kinds of crap. It royally sucks. The whole reason I'm doing this is to fully and freely be me.
I am not trans but enjoy your videos, it is interesting to see what happens in your life and how you deal with things. And I am educating myself because my cousins daughter is trans and it made me want to be more educated. I have to say my cousin is a great Mom, she has supported her from a young age which is wonderful. Especially since my family can be quite judgemental saying dumb things like if you hadn't painted "his" nails when "he" was little "he" wouldn't have wanted to be a girl, this makes me really upset as it is she not he. So thank you for sharing your journey. ❤
I like being told I look masc by my friends (many of whom are trans so we share the same context and like to affirm each other in our shared cis-heavy social spaces) but I'm very early in my transition and am not yet read as cis masculine (yes I know that's not everyone's goal and you don't have to want that) and I appreciate it because I am actually very open about my transition because getting misgendered is so dysphoric for me I just end up explaining EVERYTHING to every new community I become a part of so I guess people find me really approachable and I do kinda take the lead in these convos by trying to get people to see me as masc and talking about being really masc so it's more them following that lead tbh because I'm trying to get them to see me how I really am - if I don't constantly assert my masculinity in conversation and remind people I'm a guy they start using female gendered language and dysphoric female-targeted stereotypes etc. The worst part is getting hit on cis guys who I know see me as female or being told "I like your hair, seeing hair that much shorter than average is really edgy" and having to casually remind them well short hair is more the socially approved convention for guys and see them realising they were gendering me as female implicitly in the process (my hair is currently the Cole Sprouse Jughead Joes haircut ie it is longer than the short back and sides haircuts so it's an annoying example of indirect conversational misgendering) so having them consciously actively making the effort to affirm me as masc while I'm not yet read as male (my chest also gives me away and I don't bind due to dysphoria as it reminds me of wearing bras) is helpful. Once I'm read as cis and no longer have to correct people on my gender I am likely going to get annoyed if people say it unsolicited though.
about hearing your name in conversations and freaking out: my cousin is pregnant, and last week she was talking about names for the baby. and suddenly she’s like “oh. there’s ‘benjamin’ but it’s such an old man’s name” and i was like “no it’s not” and just started silent laughing and she said “what? why are you acting so weird?” but it was so funny to me that she said that. i’m an old man at heart, truly
The weirdest part for me is I’m out to a lot of people at school and all my friends so when I’m out places I get called lance but when I’m with my family or something I get called my deadname is like I’m living two lives sometimes
Since I can't relate to you because I don't deal with what you have to deal with, I find this very interesting; the seemingly ouble life you described.
bruh I swear the worst thing is being relatively effeminate (because its fun and hyper masc clothes are boring) and knowing you'd be fine (and just clearly gay) if you were cis? but because you're trans you're a 'trender'?? Like nah man i'm pretty fucking sure I wish I was cis
when i 1st came out as trans day 1 people started treating me different and i just straight up said. just treat me as normal as have done for the last how ever many years yous have known me. the only thing i expect is to be called a guy and be called by my new name. theres no reason why every thing else cant stay the same im still the same person. and it fixed the problem and people started noticing how much more happy i was. people kept saying i was brave for doing it while in high school but like i didnt really care people knew i didnt just take shit anymore so if any one tried they would get that shit right back and they all knew it
I support you in whatever decisions you make. The goal is your happiness. Whatever makes you happy. I like everyone to feel happy. I'm not a transguy. I'm nonbinary and bisexual.
I'll tell you THE MOST ANNOYING THING about being trans in school: Having all the younger trans kids at school coming up to you all the time for advice and help with dysphoria (It's adorable yet annoying when it's mid convo)
This is my first time coming across you and your channel. Sucks that so many things are annoying for you it seems frustrating but I’m glad you’re still able to find happiness in life
I was going to a theatre a couple of months ago and I'm pre-t but I find that I pass to most people as long as I don't speak. However I'm still afraid to use the men's bathrooms and usually avoid bathrooms altogether when I'm going out, but I had to use the women's with my nan. I stg there were like 4 or 5 women in there and most of them were looking weirdly and concerned at me and I was like oh shit and quickly said something to my nan loud enough for them to hear in my stupid high pre-t voice. Felt like shit for the rest of the night but it was either that or have someone call the security on me. Also waiting lists are the worst, I've been on one for a referral to GIDS for 18 months now, which is the average wait time for that one, so essentially I should be expecting a call or letter in the next month or so, but because of the coronavirus it's probably going to be way longer now :(
Some changes from testosterone are reasonably permanent like voice drop etc but some things will go back like fat redistribution and periods restart if testosterone is stopped
I started on gel and meant to switch to injections eventually but I'm actually loving the constant hormone levels. No hot flashes or any of that bs and E is near non-existent and T is in the healthy male range. It's inconvenient to do it every day for sure but why would I knowingly switch to that rollercoaster at this point? I'm thinking I won't.
the thing about names really struck a chord with me. i cycled through like 30 names before settling on my current one and IM CHANGING IT AGAIN FUCKING HELL
Hi Noah, great video! I'm a cis gay guy and I watch your videos to learn to be a better friend to trans guys I know. I also really like your open honesty in your videos, you just speak your mind but with a very acute self-awareness. You have a great energy and your videos are fun to watch!
WHATS THE MOST ANNOYING THING ABOUT BEING TRANS??
Being outed at times as that trans person
Im not trans but my Trans friends have told me about be Misgendered, Alot of them find that annoying.
NoahFinnce for me I just stopped going to bathroom in public, because one I don’t want to go to the woman’s because that would make me feel terrible and wrong and I don’t want to go to the men’s to avoid the chance they call me a girl and because I agree guy bathrooms are disgusting. As a trans guy it’s frustrating that my favorite color is pink but I just like it, it relaxes me but then I’m scared of being misgendered. Being called sister. And you know what I will use my front hole! Even as a guy I will defend how someone talks about a woman and it’s even more annoying when they question you for that?? Like fuck off.

absolutely! or take man buns. i was growing one because i really like them, but felt more and more dysphoric each week so i had to cut it off, i f*cking hate it
Or skinny jeans when you have hips and thighs.
Yup. :(
It annoys me when people confuse the terms "trans women" and "trans men". SIGH. No, I just said I'm a guy, I would not call myself a woman.
Same! I dont get it. It reminds me of nearsighted and farsighted
FR! 😭
"This weird person transitioned because they don't like skirts" 😂
Basically every non-educated cis person lol
And I'm just somewhere out in the field questioning everything. Like "I wonder what they're going through?" "Why do those people not understand how others feel?" "Why do I do this and where do I stand?"

and that’s the truth-
Yes.
Choosing a name is like choosing a pair of glasses. Like some of them look nice but don't suit my face.
I wanted to be called Harrison but my face isn't a Harrison face
You pick whatever name you like! Screw the haters. Nobody "looks like" their name imo. Find what feels right for you. And you're allowed to change your mind as well. I was trying to find a more "normal" name and then was like fuck it my name is the only one that actually feels right to me and it's like the name chose me and has a story to it so screw them if they wanted it to be a more known traditionally masculine name cause your name is about being who you are regardless.
For me was like, maybe I should be Omar, mmm, I dont have an Omar face, imma stick to mark, and that was it
@@curiousnerdkitteh for me I feel like I look like an Evan. Other names that sound/look more cool to me just don't fit me that well. I also love the name Marco, but it doesn't suit me even for a middle name, so I chose Mark haha
Actually I quickly checked your channel and I honestly think you could totally be a Harrison or like Harry for short 👍
You'd suit Jonah tbh 😊
A thing that I find annoying is when someone jokes, or just says, that something is an inherently ‘girl thing’ to do and my brain decides that I need to avoid doing that thing at all costs. It’s even to the point where if I’m upset and I need to cry, I’ll literally bottle it up so hard that my head hurts, just to avoid being perceived as a girl.
Heyden Jaye dude I do the same thing, it flippin’ weird and it sucks, I’m with you man
I have so much social dysphoria I basically only wear super masc clothing and almost exclusively wear black/grey and a lot of it is to do with these ridiculous perceptions of gender and while I'm not read as male yet I just don't feel like I can dress however I want just in what makes me feel most comfortable and also that people will actually believe me about my gender. It really sucks. But tbh I do also enjoy finally getting to wear what I was never allowed to before so it also does feel empowering in a way. But, I'd like the changes to happen so I have more options.
sAME
Oh my gosh I'm so sorry you have to go through that. There are certain things that are healthy for every human being and you shouldn't have to hurt yourself to feel like you're a man because you are a man.
Damn. Me too.
Cryings my big one. I find myself accidentally adopting these toxic masc stereotypes to a point where it’s not good for me. Just because I really really worry about not being “man” enough, when I *know* it’s stupid.
I literally cannot use any gendered toilets because I don’t look enough like a woman or a man to use either bathroom without getting at least a few weird looks
disabled it is
we've all been there
@@whitenoise3447 we have?
Yeah I'm just too scared of both so I just hold it in
Holding it in squad anyone?

noah: I'm really sorry about how my hair looks
I mean I was typing “think you need a trim” and deleted it when he apologised 😂
Don’t even start that with me-
EvErY fReAkIn ViDeO! And it looks so good! Maybe it’s just me but I’m obsessed with his hair ughhh
I found it really weird to be called by my new name but just when it was from my parents. i had this feeling of 'guilt' because they gave me a name which they liked and then i changed that. i recently read something about a father who told his trans kid "the name we gave to you was a gift. when you don't like it you can change it, that is all to you." Luckily i have the privilege to have a supporting family but i think you get my point from the beginning.
i've heard of some trans people letting their parents choose their new name so it would still be a name that their parents gave to them
jordan I tried that and my mum wanted to call me Milton so I just chose my own 🤣
I can thoroughly understand that. I'm not trans, but have changed my name. I was really nervous about telling my Dad since it meant I'd no longer be using his surname; he was fine about it though.
Yes I felt the same thing too tbh
I attempted on trying to get my parents to call me by my preferred name but their response was “we have legal naming rights of you so we are not calling you anything other than *birthname*” or something they picked but they had a list of weird requirements for a name so I just gave up haha
I’m pre-transition and I’ve only come out to some friends about being trans. So even though I didn’t ask, one of my friends have started using “he” on me. I appreciate it but also, I don’t look like a guy. So when they‘re talking to another person about me and saying “he”, I just think in my head, “other person, please don’t question it, please don’t, please”
That happens to me too. My friend referred to me as he and someone else questioned that she called me he and I almost smacked my friend because I don't want to be outed to the fuckboys quite yet
Same. There is this dual enrollment class I take that is apart from my regular school, also most of my classmate are from other schools and I came out to them, so now they call me by "he/him" pronouns but I get scared when someone from my school is staying in my classroom when they call me "he".
This. One of my friends recently found out about me (friend I’ve had for around seven years) being trans and she just started using the correct pronouns after she knew what it was. She knows lots of people that don’t know me (and I don’t pass, so this would be confusing for them) and she likes to talk about her friends a lot. If any of them ask I’m just saying “different person, different person.”
Annoying thing about being trans?
Me: to feel that I have to defend myself whenever I say "I'm trans"
I can’t wait for a day when I can be completely and utterly stealth and not have to explain my existence all the time
@@jaybek7707 i wish too
I love that you talked about how weird it is when people start using your new name. I thought it was just me.
I got that too at first,I know what you went through
Stop apologising about your hair! It's always really cute!
literally always cute! even when he had a kidney infection LOL
THE HANDSHAKE THING YES
The men in my family and my parents' friends separate very clearly how they say hello to men and to women and it makes me dysphoric when they go for the weird hug kiss thing cause that's how they do it with women and it feels like they're just ignoring that I'm trans, and it's always super awkward cause the ones that don't go straight to the hug don't really know what to do (I'm not sure if it's cause I'm non binary (although I present masc most of the time and use he/him and my name is Noah so) or just cause I'm trans) and it's just ugh I hate it just treat me like you treat cis guys
Aaghhh im a demigirl (afab) and THAT also makes me veryyyy uncomfortable, but that might also be because I am autistic
who else needed that hello underachiever’s
Alwayssss!!! 😂
Erin Bell it always makes my day
millie’s spacebunzzz definitely
Elizabeth sorry :(
Underachievers. Simple plural.
I love that you talk about how rigid the stereotypes and gender expression “rules” are in the trans community. I can’t tell you how many people tell me to cut my hair short or do this or that “hyper masculine” thing to pass better. I always bring up the example of my cis father to help explain. He’s a pretty effeminate dude with long hair and long nails and he talks with his hands a lot. Yet no one says he isn’t a man. And frankly, my conception of masculinity is at least partially formed by the way he expressed his gender. To me, long hair is both masc and fem. I like my long hair. I’m keeping it!
That’s seriously so awesome 👏
i'm (probably) transmasc with long hair too, my dad and brother (the only men in the house) have always had long hair so i don't see it as a fem thing lol and think of all the men in lotr and stuff, they all have long hair and are the embodiment of manly manness

Eddie Spaghetti ....lukkkaaaas?
I was at a bar in Raleigh, North Carolina USA a few weeks ago and there was a transwoman who didn't quite pass. She was older and this is a college crowd type bar. I smiled at her because she was wearing this really cute outfit with a 50s kind of dress. Later I saw her walk into the mens' room, and I was so confused for a second! Then I remembered that this is NC, and last year a transwoman was attacked in the bathroom at another bar in Raleigh:( I don't understand why another person's "private parts" offends people so much, it is private, none of your business.
BTW, I hope I used all of the correct terms and didn't offend anyone, please let me know if I did!
Ugh it’s so dumb. You phrased that perfectly.
My dad let me go in the men’s toilets once and I thought he was finally excepting and it later turned out he let me because he was trying to scare me into not wanting to go in them.
Nate the Cheesebag No offence but your dad sounds awful
thew0lfyb0i he just thinks it’s a phase. He doesn’t really acknowledge it but he’s not offensive.
Well, I mean, if it's dirty enough, and you are a gullible person, that can do some permanent damage maaaaan...

OTOH, you might regret not sleeping around.

There’s nothing manly abouat here hahahahahaa your delusional here hair here face here jaw line here skin here hands here mannerisms the way she moans she talks to much the way she moves she thinks like a woman MEN DONT ACT LIKE THIS .
"of course this is permanent, I'm not going back"
Oooh I really feel that 'not being taken seriously' one. 😪 I've heard so many comments behind my back about being a confused lesbian lmao. It hurtsss
Omg the not knowing if I pass is terrifying. I’m 14 so I easily pass as like 12, I have quite a masculine face and I’ve never been misgendered by a stranger. But I once went quite a while before getting my haircut and like a 7 year old asked if I was a boy or a girl and I felt like I’d been punched
Nate the Cheesebag my daughter is 4 and she constantly asks me “is that a boy or a girl” kids are just naturally curious and some of them are more vocal with their questions.
As a parent of a young child, I just want to say that the kid likely saw you as male, but 'boys don't have long hair' (~sigh~) & it was throwing the kid off, thus the question. I dunno if that helps you feel better at all?
Noah: If you're not a transguy and you're watching this video... Thanks.
Us: No, Noah. Thank you for making videos. ❤️
For me the most annoying is not being able to be as active as I'd like to because of binding. I almost fainted today while biking. Also that team sports are out of the question.
Have you guys tried trans tape? Or something similar. I’m not sure if it’s just US based but i use it and i go rock climbing and biking with it (doesn’t restrict breathing at all)
@@cameron4015 Is it similar to kt tape? I've never even heard of it tbh. I just know that kt tape doesn't work for me because it doesn't work well enough for me to be comfortable going out of the house with it.
Bendegúz Rezneki I’ve never tried KT tape so I couldn’t say for sure but reviews of people saying they tried both say trans tape is different because it is designed for alternative binging unlike KT tape
@@cameron4015 thanks, I'll look into it a bit more and might try it for home and working out.
I tried explaining dysphoria to my sister once (I’m still closeted, it was more of me trying to get her to accept trans people before I came out) and she was just.. so surprised that it was a thing. I was like “I’m pretty sure 99.9% of trans people transition bc of dysphoria” and she went “I don’t think so”
Girlie you aren’t the trans one, I am-
Not knowing how to do the "bro-handshake" is embarrassing ,, I had to ask my friend lmfao
BECAUSE THERES SO MANY
i still don’t know how 😭 are there any tutorials out there?
i was chatting to my friend (he's ftm and i'm cis)about trans stuff and it turns out i know more about physically transitioning than he does -lol- i'm referring him to your videos :)
just realized his name is “no offense” 🤯
oh my god. 😳
You obviously haven’t been a subscriber for long. He has talked about that in previous videos. And no finnce is not his real last name

Working in retail and being trans - now that is a special piece of hell
Everything you say is what I have gone through and am going through lol... no matter how many lgbtq vids that I watch, I could go to an island, leave on my own, meet people and rediscover the same struggles if I came out as trans over again
Im going to start T... every two weeks and before even starting, I already know the drag of it having to be taken forever... I am frustrated by the medical bs, I dont want to hurt myself every two weeks.... just to be a man, but I cant be not a man without T apparantly so f my life...
ps: I had to do two blood tests before starting T (for reducing price of T, which is otherwise not that pricy here luckily and I didnt do the second blood check cos... I hate needles, and I know, why starting T then? Haha..... *sigh* Idk, dysphoria is sh*t I guess. Im already sweaty about all of this bs to overcome
Noah, If you couldn't vent and explain things in these videos you'd implode.
i quite enjoy his rants
He's a yammering tosser and an attention queen.
There is nothing worse, than a group of girls talking in the bathroom while being in different stalls. It makes me feel so out of place and like an intruder to there privacy as women when I just want to piss and get out of there as soon as possible :/
I am a cis girl and I love your Chanel! I was so confused when you said if your not trans thanks for being here because it’s so normal for me to watch your videos, it’s educational and today I used all the stuff you talk about to educate a group of teens!
it’s a drinking game but you take a shot every time Noah says
*BUT JESUS CHRIST*
With the name change thing it's also extra annoying that I'm Polish but live in England. It has to be pronounced in both languages. I also went Bow for two years before deciding I'm gonna come out and have to change it. So when people judge my choice (Bruno) it's SO annoying. Cuz I had to jump through so many hoops already.
- I like the name
- Can be pronounced in Polish and English
- Works for Bow as a nickname
- Is unique (cuz I have A LOT of uncles)
- Is short cuz I have a long sir name
- Easy to pronounce in both languages cuz once again the sir name is long and complicated
People just need to give me a break cuz I've had enough of it.
I'm not trans but my friends are and these videos really help me understand what they go through on a day to day basis. I want to support my friends to the best of my abilities and these types of videos really help
Ok thank you for talking about this, I’m a trans femboy and I felt like people and close lgbtq+ friends just thought I was a girl or was still questioning my gender simply because I still dressed feminine or unisex, and sometimes masculine when I feel particularly disphoric that day and want people to pass me as a guy by first glances. But i mainly dress feminine which a lot of even my trans friends are confused on and some think maybe I’m just not out to my family yet (I’m not but my mom know a little that I like girls too, she doesn’t know my exact sexuality cuz it wasn’t a sit down conversation we had about, it was just a fast thing) but like, my mom lets me wear whatever I want, when I got in alternative fashion she has learned to stop judging me for it and doesn’t question what I buy, she even grown to like what I wear, but uh back to the point. I just hate the fact that people think, just because you’re trans you have to automatically look like the stereotypical gender you feel comfortable with, and for some reason I can’t stop thinking of the day I told my bi or pan (don’t know their exact sexuality all I know is that they like boys and girls too) friend who used to have a crush on me that I was Trans and identified as a Demi-boy because she said, when talking to other friends to correct them when they use the wrong pronouns, “uhm, no, they are a male apparently and they go by he/they pronouns”
What stuck out to me is that she said “apparently”. Like bro do you think I’m still questioning it or something or did you do it on purpose simply because I was wearing feminine attire? Idk why I keep thinking of that day, it’s just keeps pissing me off each time. Anyways idk what to say anymore, I love your videos!
OMG your eye colour matches that hoodie perfectly 😅☁️
I think I might be going through a phase, thinking I'm gay. Mind you, it's been over 50 years now, so it's one hell of a phase!
He's always apologizing for how bad his hair looks...
But it always looks amazing
THIS!!!! It’s the hair I’ve always wanted
There was this one guy at a party who was like: wow, you're trans? Cool! I watched so many documentaries about transpeople but I never met one, let's talk about that, actually let me tell you what being trans is like" and I was just sitting there as I do at 70% of all parties like - I don't want to talk about trans issues when I'm trying to have a good time
I’m just mesmerized by how his hoodie, eyes, and his whole color palette matches
The one good thing about Covid is that, with a mask on, my face smush is hidden and I pass (I’m ftm). Like the rest of my face is perfectly masculine so it’s just the mask saving me😂
Me, possible trans girl:
Noah: "If you're not a trans guy and you're watching this, thanks"

Sweet 😊
honestly im just following all of jamies friends cause my algorithm has been overrun by transphobes and homophobes and i ma determined to only see positivity and queer people enjoying life. I love your videos and your hoodie! hehe
Same situation here! Sick of the hatred towards trans ppl on social media:(
If someone tells me I look masculine now, I would be happy since I don’t pass at all. However if I had transitioned completely on testosterone and had surgery and someone said I looked masculine my brain would flip that and be like ‘wait, did I look feminine yesterday? Or are they trying to make me feel better because I look fem today??’
i still remember getting my hopes up when i reached the 14 month mark on the waiting list.. looking back at the letter it said 14-18 months...DEPRESSION..... Reached the 18 month mark.... NO APPOINTMENT..... Another 6 months later...... FINALLY.
Also remember thinking that my time on the waiting list had begun... a month later..... got a letter saying that i had just been put on the waiting list..... liFE
this video hit me so hard oh my god. (im ftm)
been on T for almost 3 months now. I take my shots weekly and man it’s already tiring 😬 wish I could do it every 3 weeks. This morning I had to take it and had my first time with some trouble getting the needle through my skin 🙄 It took 2 tries to finally get it to work, so frustrating.
And AIRPORTS are AWFUL if you haven’t had anything legally changed yet. I’m in the process of getting my name changed, but it’s still legally my deadname (it gives me a HELL of a lot of dysphoria). These airport people ask me to say my name while going through security so many times and refer to me as my deadname, and they look so confused the whole time!! They look at me and see this young man then see my legal name and they’re like *wtf*
gotta love being trans 😕
Noah's eyes are looking sooo good in this and the thing that it is matching his hoodie makes it even better
i can't look away from them
I’ve had my name my whole life and it doesn’t feel like my name at all.
When I look at myself I don’t look like a “name”
9:40 I may be a bit late here, but Oh my god. Even as a Cis Male, our bathrooms disgust me. I also don't understand how so many people miss. And the problem is, even one guy who pisses on the seat basically forces everyone after him to piss standing, even if they would want to sit down because they don't want to piss on the seat by accident.
God, hearing all this makes me so happy to live in germany.
Here you get your T shots every 3 months (after some time of smaller shots for like half a year) and at that appointment you can get your blood checked as well.
For the name changing, officially that sucks too because those 'professionals' that 'confirm' that you‘re transgender are asking you questions about your sexual preferences and if you penetrate or get penetrated during sex
(We‘re talking about necessary stuff for changing the NAME, just to remind you. I can’t tell you wtf this law is… but at least it’s worked on right now…)
But there is a law gap in some areas where you can avoid all that shit and just need a certification from your therapist and then it works. (I did that and it took waaaaay less time than the other way wich some of my friends chose. And without the inappropriate questions)
So man, compared from what you‘re telling Noah, I’m so glad I‘ve got it very chill here. It sucks to hear that other countries are over all so weird as mine is with the name changing.
Agree with all of those! The number of frustrating things we face on a weekly, and dayly basis on top of you know the obvious is really frustrating sometimes.
noah: “i don’t like wearing skirts so i’m gonna tell everyone i’m a transgender” who says that
trisha: im about to end this mans whole career
yellow tree 💀
I've been on T for over 10 year. I went to the dentist a month ago and they still had my gender wrong in the system. Just when you think you have everything changed.
Another thing about the men's toilets is the locks!!!! I stg 7 out of 10 locks are broken and you have to do that awkward pee while holding the door closed
Damn yes!
I'm genderfluid and have always hated my birth name, so now I face the task of coming up with one name that can go either way or two names for my masculine and feminine days. I'm so indecisive and it suuuucks
this is definitely my favorite Noah video - love your rants
you deserve so many more subscribers. i did just find you but you just have the most positive energy and attitude towards anything and everything
How many times did Noah say Jesus Christ in this video??😂😂😂
I don't know, but I love it 😂

I mean, the whole video is relateable as heck. loved your points about the community, I feel the same. The people not knowing if they should do the hug or handshake is RIDICULOUS this time of year 😅
Gen Z’s catch fraise:
“Sorry for existing”
I'm in the middle of the process for all the name change and birth certificate, ID etc stuff and I'm already loosing my mind. Its just so annoying bc its all so dependent on some ppl like one of them needs more time the whole process is on hold. U just need so many forms and so many approvals and then sending them to doctors and them confirming and...jesus Christ IS IT ANNOYING
I’ve never clicked on a notification faster in my life 😂 I love Noah so much 🥰
Dude, I feel you on these things. Even after 3 years (as of March 2020) of medically transitioning, I still get all kinds of crap. It royally sucks. The whole reason I'm doing this is to fully and freely be me.
I was so angry about the name my parents gave me that I didn’t talk to them for a year.
wolver73
wAit trans name or firSt name?
dioy the one I was born with
wolver73 same, same 😩🤟🏻
...you didn't talk to them for a year after they gave it to you?
I am not trans but enjoy your videos, it is interesting to see what happens in your life and how you deal with things. And I am educating myself because my cousins daughter is trans and it made me want to be more educated. I have to say my cousin is a great Mom, she has supported her from a young age which is wonderful. Especially since my family can be quite judgemental saying dumb things like if you hadn't painted "his" nails when "he" was little "he" wouldn't have wanted to be a girl, this makes me really upset as it is she not he. So thank you for sharing your journey. ❤
Who else is trans and dont feel the need to change your name? I love my name because it can go both ways
Same here
I like being told I look masc by my friends (many of whom are trans so we share the same context and like to affirm each other in our shared cis-heavy social spaces) but I'm very early in my transition and am not yet read as cis masculine (yes I know that's not everyone's goal and you don't have to want that) and I appreciate it because I am actually very open about my transition because getting misgendered is so dysphoric for me I just end up explaining EVERYTHING to every new community I become a part of so I guess people find me really approachable and I do kinda take the lead in these convos by trying to get people to see me as masc and talking about being really masc so it's more them following that lead tbh because I'm trying to get them to see me how I really am - if I don't constantly assert my masculinity in conversation and remind people I'm a guy they start using female gendered language and dysphoric female-targeted stereotypes etc. The worst part is getting hit on cis guys who I know see me as female or being told "I like your hair, seeing hair that much shorter than average is really edgy" and having to casually remind them well short hair is more the socially approved convention for guys and see them realising they were gendering me as female implicitly in the process (my hair is currently the Cole Sprouse Jughead Joes haircut ie it is longer than the short back and sides haircuts so it's an annoying example of indirect conversational misgendering) so having them consciously actively making the effort to affirm me as masc while I'm not yet read as male (my chest also gives me away and I don't bind due to dysphoria as it reminds me of wearing bras) is helpful.
Once I'm read as cis and no longer have to correct people on my gender I am likely going to get annoyed if people say it unsolicited though.
The no. Of times noah says "Jesus Christ"😂😂
about hearing your name in conversations and freaking out: my cousin is pregnant, and last week she was talking about names for the baby. and suddenly she’s like “oh. there’s ‘benjamin’ but it’s such an old man’s name” and i was like “no it’s not” and just started silent laughing and she said “what? why are you acting so weird?” but it was so funny to me that she said that. i’m an old man at heart, truly
The weirdest part for me is I’m out to a lot of people at school and all my friends so when I’m out places I get called lance but when I’m with my family or something I get called my deadname is like I’m living two lives sometimes
Since I can't relate to you because I don't deal with what you have to deal with, I find this very interesting; the seemingly ouble life you described.
bruh I swear the worst thing is being relatively effeminate (because its fun and hyper masc clothes are boring) and knowing you'd be fine (and just clearly gay) if you were cis? but because you're trans you're a 'trender'?? Like nah man i'm pretty fucking sure I wish I was cis
when i 1st came out as trans day 1 people started treating me different and i just straight up said. just treat me as normal as have done for the last how ever many years yous have known me. the only thing i expect is to be called a guy and be called by my new name. theres no reason why every thing else cant stay the same im still the same person. and it fixed the problem and people started noticing how much more happy i was. people kept saying i was brave for doing it while in high school but like i didnt really care people knew i didnt just take shit anymore so if any one tried they would get that shit right back and they all knew it
I support you in whatever decisions you make. The goal is your happiness. Whatever makes you happy. I like everyone to feel happy. I'm not a transguy. I'm nonbinary and bisexual.
10:36 *toxic masculinity entered the chat for trans guys*
that shirt fits perfectly with your eyes, that color is great. with good lighting it really looks good. just had to notice that :)
I'll tell you THE MOST ANNOYING THING about being trans in school:
Having all the younger trans kids at school coming up to you all the time for advice and help with dysphoria
(It's adorable yet annoying when it's mid convo)
This is my first time coming across you and your channel. Sucks that so many things are annoying for you it seems frustrating but I’m glad you’re still able to find happiness in life
His eyes match his sweatshirt.
Also, I'm not really trans (I'm genderfluid) but deciding which clothes to buy
this whole video is a big mood especially the bathroom & name thing
Noah’s hair really had a life of its own in this video
I was going to a theatre a couple of months ago and I'm pre-t but I find that I pass to most people as long as I don't speak. However I'm still afraid to use the men's bathrooms and usually avoid bathrooms altogether when I'm going out, but I had to use the women's with my nan. I stg there were like 4 or 5 women in there and most of them were looking weirdly and concerned at me and I was like oh shit and quickly said something to my nan loud enough for them to hear in my stupid high pre-t voice. Felt like shit for the rest of the night but it was either that or have someone call the security on me. Also waiting lists are the worst, I've been on one for a referral to GIDS for 18 months now, which is the average wait time for that one, so essentially I should be expecting a call or letter in the next month or so, but because of the coronavirus it's probably going to be way longer now :(
what happens to your body if you stop testosterone?
dumb question from a curious cis girl :D💕
ps love you, you’re so funny
Some changes from testosterone are reasonably permanent like voice drop etc but some things will go back like fat redistribution and periods restart if testosterone is stopped
your hair is so adorable
I started on gel and meant to switch to injections eventually but I'm actually loving the constant hormone levels. No hot flashes or any of that bs and E is near non-existent and T is in the healthy male range. It's inconvenient to do it every day for sure but why would I knowingly switch to that rollercoaster at this point? I'm thinking I won't.
the thing about names really struck a chord with me. i cycled through like 30 names before settling on my current one and IM CHANGING IT AGAIN FUCKING HELL
Take a shot everytime he says jesus christ 😂😂❤
Hi Noah, great video! I'm a cis gay guy and I watch your videos to learn to be a better friend to trans guys I know. I also really like your open honesty in your videos, you just speak your mind but with a very acute self-awareness. You have a great energy and your videos are fun to watch!
