Same here and I'm not even trans...

[@urmom1.050]

Yeah as an 18-year-old who has recently been kind of freaking out about the fact that I haven’t gotten anywhere in life that line definitely made me feel a lot better about myself

[@maydaylane9154]

@Real Ray i understand that so much. i feel like i'm still waiting to truly live because the way my parents have decided i have to be is so different than who i really am that most times i don't feel like a person at all. but as every year passes, i see myself becoming more and more of who i really am and i am watching as my parents loose their grip on me and one day, one day soon ish, i will begin to live, and i can't wait. it will get better for both of us, i think. until then, find the good in the little things i guess, and continue to figure out who you are so that when you can finally be yourself, you can do it so loudly

[@maydaylane9154]

@Real Ray damn, yeah i kind of get that. I'm not trans so i can't pretend to understand how that must feel, but the part about being born a dead son waiting to live really resonates with me. i feel like my mom had an idea of the kind of child she wanted me to be even before i was born and since i don't live up to that, I've had to discover who i am all by myself and bide my time until one day i can finally shout in her and my dad's face: this is me and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. it makes sense how having to hide your gender identity would make you feel like you aren't living and i can understand how hiding something as important as your true gender identity can cause you to have to hide so much of the rest of yourself as well. i hope that you are able to be your true self one day, gender identity and all, loudly and proudly, and that everyone in your life will accept you for the real you. here's to waiting to live

[@moanilsson3448]

I am 19 right now and kind of feel the same way, only started living for real this year since I graduated from school and went to university. I am not trans but I still felt like I could not be myself before. I have a lot of nice memories from childhood though so I did definately live before. But right now I feel like this big and exciting, but sometimes scary world has opened itself up to me for the first time, that I am finally free to live my life as I want to and to do the things that truly matter to me.

[@Ren-cd4jz]

The fact that Noah as an older trans guy doesn't want us younger ones to hate ourselves like he did, ik it's such a little thing but it means so much to think someone who's experianced it wants to look out for people still in the deepest pits of it. If that makes sense :,)

Long hair = people liking me....despite all the gender issues hidden over layers of EDs, mental health issues, and just assuming I had super low self esteem. Funny how I only started recognising myself in the mirror after I chopped it!

[@punchlinelibby9999]

A tiny thought about the girls in your boarding school: all the compliments on your body and how good you looked in dresses, is probably because they could sense a smidge of how uncomfortable you were, and wanted to reassure you by projecting what they themselves were insecure about! Of course, that compleeeetly backfired, but that’s in my experience how most people give compliments! Perhaps that can shape some of those horrible memories to something better, I think they really were trying!

[@someoneofimportance6459]

I liked this comment a while ago, but rewatching the video and seeing it again I just want to say, like this is an amazing comment because some people in the comment section are sort of bashing that girls (they mean well lol) and this is probably what was going through those girls heads :)

[@jazwhoaskedforthis]

This is exactly what I try to do and it’s so sad to think I could compliment someone to try to raise their spirits, only to accidentally hit their dysphoria right in the face. But I think it’s okay to have good intentions and realize you still hurt someone. We all do it eventually.

[@theharshtruthoutthere]

@@jazwhoaskedforthis Every sinner, including homosexuals (lgbtq+) are all called to REPENTANCE: Luke 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Matthew 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Genesis 13:13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Luke 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. You won´t be heard by GOD if you have not come to REPENTANCE: John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Because of the lack of knowledge which you all also practice, therefore none of you truly know, what you are doing nor what you are supporting.

Hello from houston, texas! I've just turned 31, and over the course of last year during lockdown, I realized I was trans. I unlocked a memory from when I was seven, knowing I felt different than other girls. Now, I've told all my friends, some close family members, but not my mom and dad yet. So I'm pre T and pre top surgery, but ever since I came out, I have felt happier than I have been in a long while. And the point about looking back at old pictures- while they may be cringe, they matter. They help you understand why you are the way you are now, they help you understand that it gets better, and also help you give closure to your younger self. I can't wait to be able to do hair/ transition updates like this.

[@umwhatyeahmaybe]

Noah, sweet boy, you are gorgeous and always have been. I'm so glad you are able to look back at yourself and laugh and move past it. It's hard enough being a cis woman and looking at past pics during puberty. You're doing absolutely great!

[@beatricefox937]

I think I had recently found your channel when you released the ‘I was an ugly girl’ video, and it’s honestly such a privilege to grow along side you. When I followed you then I thought I was an intense straight ally (come on, many of us have been there) and now I identify as bisexual/lesbian. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and it’s fun to reflect on how much has changed in the meantime. Thank you, you’ve really helped me and also a lot of my genderqueer friends. I don’t know what’ll be going on in a year, but I know I’ll still be subscribed to your channel and learning from it.

[@sunnykumara2702]

My hair is the opposite to how yours was. It's really dry and dandruffy so I have to condition it often even with short hair. Also I was a people pleaser for the first 11 years of my life and then realized I really wasn't happy, cut my hair and the rest is history. Basically my "girl phase".

Superb video, Noah. So raw and honest but at the same time, sweet and very *you*! I'm so thankful this generation has you tubers like you. Love from a mum of a beautiful 13 year old trans boy on this very same journey! X

[@Goldlucky13]

I am your age but feel so behind. I had always experienced dysphoria as a kid but i thought it was just Body Issues like they teach all young girls not to worry about. I also dated a guy all through high school and until i was 20, who kinda formed my identity as "girlfriend". I didnt mind doing girly things bc it made him happy and i thought thats what fulfillment is. Just over a year ago i bought my first binder and cut my hair shorter than i ever had before, and i finally feel like myself. Like so, so free. I just wish i had the chance when i was younger to get started with transitioning with hormones and surgery, trying to get started at 22 feels so impossible when youre graduated from university and finding jobs and panicking whenever a recruiter calls me by my birth name lol

[@DustyStarrs]

This was super inspiring even as a cis woman! I relate to completely changing myself for other people and equating others' approval for something objectively good. A valuable reminder to do and be what's healthy and good for you rather than whatever others think you should do or be. Also a great insight into the struggles of being trans, I think. Even though you mainly just talked about hair I really felt how crazy mentally tough it would be with all the questioning and transphobia that comes with it. Basically, thank you!

[@lees_act]

I'm so happy, that you are happy now, you are amazing and you make so many peoples days, thank you for your videos and for just being you 🖤

I'm struggling to come out as FTM at the moment, and it's feels so comforting to see that other people can relate to the frustration.

[@tommyerickson2613]

Loved the character development * chef's kiss* Thank you for sharing this Noah! The moments you shared were painfully relatable, but I appreciate the video and I hope you have an amazing tour!

[@grimleybrown5225]

*I hope this is received as intended* I can't lie, I love the old pictures. In part, because of how obvious it is that you've been Noah all along. I used to look at my old pictures and think about all the things that hurt--it hurt how much I could see myself trying to please other people so that I wouldn't be harassed...Now, I look for the parts that were immutable. No matter how hard people try to tell us trans folx that we don't know ourselves, no matter how much we're forced to hide it to be safe--our transness exudes life and joy. I feel like it's that undeniable beauty that helps keep us alive and moving forward and progressing towards this moment. This moment of greatest authenticity and self determination. That said, I quite like the picture at 24:28, because like you said--your decision to start living as yourself becomes so clear. The black to maintain the emo side, the converse instead of heels, your hair is short again, your posture even seems more stereotypically masculine--it all says Noah. I'm so happy for you that you get to be yourself, and proud that you knew yourself well enough to fight for yourself. I'm 29 and part of my journey as a trans person has been made easier by your videos, so thank you.

[@user-bw7ng1qn4c]

I’ve been watching Noah for a few years now, since I’ve been out pretty much but somehow it always surprises me how he’s my age and came out and got on r and top all pretty close to when I did, probably because it’s easier to see how he’s grown and changed over time than it is to see for myself. Anyway it’s always helpful to watch his vids and it helps me see how my perspective has changed over time too.

[@Ewa-kc2zw]

I can't even imagine how hard all that was for u and still is for others. I am sooo happy for you and I wish everyone struggling with their identity to reach that point where they can just be happy with their true self

I'm not LGBT and lean heavily right (which shouldn't really mean anything, but nowadays it does as, unfortunately, there is lots of stigma tied to being "left" or "right"). But your content is awesome and for some reason intrigues me. I've watched you for years and have always been fascinated by your story/journey. You just seem like a genuinely good dude.

[@maxcurrer.]

you looked pretty as a girl and you weren't ugly. you've come a long way and so happy for you!! no one is ugly in my eyes. anyway i support the trans community all the way!! also was bullied for the way i looked and called a boy or people constantly misgendering me or on purpose but to me it shouldn't matter because i was brought into this world to live and exist not to constantly correct people on my gender when it shouldn't have mattered cause i was me and yeah. ps. update 7 months later i came out as trans and feels good.

Omg I relateeeeeee. What you've said makes so much sense! I have now realized alot of things about what I've been doing in my life to avoid conflict with others anddddddd now I'm like "why? Why have I put myself through this?" (I'm 16 btw) I mean I have put myself through the torture of dresses and I can't even explain how uncomfortable they make me. It's horribly uncomfortable. I just want to say thank you Noah for being such an inspiration and opening my eyes to this. Anyways I'm gonna introduce myself. . . . Hi! My name is Rhys I use he/they pronouns and I am Trans!

I hope you have a really nice day!

@@bigmanrui3503 HI! Your name is so cool!! The last time I wore a dress was because my little sister wanted to play dress up. It was not fun😅 I'm homeschooled so I don't really have to worry about it much anymore. I sorta dress neutrally but my mom still trys to get me to wear skirts and dresses for important occasions and even tho it makes me uncomfortable she's like (well I'm not gonna let you wear a tux) sometimes it's not even that. It's so nice having people around that you can relate to, yanno? I hope you have a good day as well!

[@finnxrobbie]

This was very interestening, 'cause I can remember having a long hair cut and just never taking care of it. It just didn't mattered to me. I never brushed it and I didn't wash it as much as I should. It was actually my mom who cut her hair and I was like: oh, that's cool, I want that too and from then I had short hair. It still looks quite bad but at least I try to make it look good.

[@Taco...]

I was just scrolling through you tube and I saw this and I was so excited! When I was younger and I still do now, I acted like I was someone else (who I really wanted to me) online. In October 2021 I cut my hair off (12 inches) and started wearing baggy clothing and “boy” clothes and now at school most people know who I am and I’m still struggling figuring out a new name but other than that I was so excited to see Noah and his cool personality. I feel very supported and at home when I listen to his calming ass voice

Thank you for your videos. I first saw you making a video with Jammidodger a couple of years ago, and both of you help this older cis straight woman understand Trans a lot better.

[@toothtruck]

Am I still trans even though I wasn’t super tomboy since I was little? Don’t get me wrong, there were definitely signs all throughout my life, but I wasn’t a tomboy growing up. A big part of it was copying my female friends and trying to fit in, also I’ve always been a super shy person, so I always just did what everyone told me to do. But I never straddled a toilet seat or anything similar 😂 I deal with dysphoria every day and it’s shit. I know deep down that I am trans, it’s so obvious to me, but I still get doubts, almost entirely because I wasn’t masculine as a young child. So I guess what I’m wondering, is can I still be trans, even though it wasn’t obvious growing up the same way it was for Noah?

[@tantis_pig]

It's very common for trans people to act as they are "expected" to and not seem like they are trans as children. A lot of trans people don't even mind their agab but that doesn't make them less trans. You are still trans even if you were afab and feminine as a child. You are still trans even if you were amab and masculine as a child.

[@randomdreamer5429]

of course ! all trans people have different experiences and it's not because you don't have the same as Noah that it's not valid. as long as it feels right, that you feel true to yourself, it's true

[@Harrison_J_T]

Everyone's experience is different and not being a tom boy doesn't invalidate your identity or make you less trans. All trans means is you don't identify as the gender you were assigned at birth so if you fit that description then you're trans. Also gender expression and gender identity are separate things.

[@toothtruck]

Hey Noah! I just want to say that even though I don't know you irl, you are like an older brother to me in the way that I look up to you! I am a "younger trans guy" and you have been a big insperation to me not only to come out to my family and love myself, but also love my past self. I had been watching your videos before I even knew I was trans and seeing how happy you are now, it made me think about who I was and all that stuff. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for making me feel comfortable with who I am, and inspiring me to get an awsome hair cut :)

[@bottomofastairwell]

it's lovely to see you showing yourself more compassion. I can't imagine how hard it must be to live with dysphoria everyday and have to feel that all the time, but I think it's important to remember that even people who aren't trans look back at themselves and cringe at the things they did. Hell, I went through a HARDCORE "not like other girls" phase when I was younger, and now when I look back I cringe. But I didn't understand back then that i didn't actually hate other girls or frilly things or the color pink, that my "not like other girls" phase was actually a response to the gender roles and patriarchal ideas that were forced upon me by society, and that's what I was rejecting and was so unhappy with. We all do those kinds of things and go through that sort of phase where we reject the social BS that's thrust upon us and do whatever we can to reject the shit we hate and find ourselves, whether it's just rejecting typical gender roles, the idea of heteronormativity, or the gender assigned to us at birth. I imagine it's much more difficult and confusing when you're trans though, especially if you don't understand what it is you're feeling exactly or why you don't feel like everyone else does, and the pressure of society and other kids must be brutal. But my point is, I'm glad to see you showing yourself some compassion, because we should all be kinder to our younger selves. It's not our fault we're forced into these boxes by society that we don't fit and don't understand, and that we struggle with that while we're figuring ourselves out. I'm so glad that you've gone on that journey though and been able to become who you were always meant to be. You're an inspiration to so many younger trans kids out there who are struggling with themselves, and I hope that they can see how far you've come and know that there's hope that they won't have to feel so shitty forever. Also, little edit: Maybe it's because I know the version of you that I see in your videos now and the person you truly are, but honestly, I look at damn near all those older pictures of you and I just see a young boy. A young boy who's going through the emo phase, or a young guy who happens to be dressing in girl clothes. Like I said, maybe it's because I know you're a guy, but somehow I see those pictures and I still just see a boy, I still see the real you even through all that feminine crap you did to try to fit in. (Hopefully you get what I mean and that didn't come out screwed up or offensive)

I started dressing as a guy at age 4, and I was told I was just a tomboy, 10 years later, "Hi. No. I'm not. I'm T r a n s ⭐" Though I sometimes question it because I ..like Skirts? I sometimes think I'm too feminine to be trans so I constantly remind myself being a little feminine doesn't change being trans and I only discovered the LGBT community 3-4 years ago? I didn't even know I could be trans, my parents are completely against it. I was also bullied for my short hair by the other boys in my class for some time. I'm Elliott online ✌

Skirts are not inherently “for women only” or “for men only”, they are simply fabric to cover one’s body. You can absolutely be transmasc and still enjoy things that aren’t stereotypically “masculine”. Even the vast majority of cis guys aren’t 100% masc 100% of the time and the ones who are is usually because they are toxic and very close minded about gender.
