YES! How did it go? how are you feeling?

[@littlesailor1533]

Noah Hella It went pretty good. My class was very nice about it. No one said anything mean and it was all good. But the moment I came out felt kind of unrealistic. I don't know if that's normal.

[@NoahHella]

that's amazing! Happy for you! Yeah feels weird right? To say the words and it becoming more real. Anyways hope you're doing well and people are nice to you :)

[@jlbeeen]

I've seen a few people with stickers that say their pronouns in university, and that seems to help. Some people don't always read them, but it's a good idea. Also, if there's a wheelchair accessible or single stall washroom, often times they are not gendered and will be your best friend (especially at a certain time of the month)! Great to change in as well.

[@NoahHella]

that's awesome, such a great idea!

[@firstcanonkill1767]

Single stall bathrooms are okay, but please don't use Disabled washrooms unless you're 100% sure someone won't need it :)

[@kayceefoell4772]

I tried to get into this one school (I didn't get in), and when I shadowed a student there, in every class people would say their name FOLLOWED BY THEIR PRONOUNS and it just seemed like an instinct! Like even cisgender people said their pronouns and I'm in shock. We need to make this a thing everywhere.

[@spencerqwashington]

Something that helped me in high school was copying the manner of other guys. In university I just simply do what I enjoy since gender isn't as forced. Also if your binder feels too tight go a size up. If you're stealth and talking about childhood just mention "when I was little or a kid"

@@SurfingBOceanNesto22 this is a trans only event go home

[@ohshctrash1410]

Just a little positive message for anyone reading through the comments: If you don’t know if people around you will be excepting, just wait until the topic of gender comes up (like bring up a trans/nb friend that you have, or someone in the media) and see how they feel talking about that one Tbh now I feel a lot more confident about coming out as non-binary because of my little cousin. She was confused about what gender I was and I said that I didn’t really care, but she could call me a girl (b/c I’m not out yet and that’s how my family sees me) and she was cool with it but many times I heard her use he/him instead and mostly no one heard but no one really cared. Like, as long as I wasn’t bothered it didn’t bother them.

[@MonsterHigh11Demi]

I have a similar experience with my 5yo cousin, he has two older sisters, so he always treats me like I'm his big brother, because I'm the only one who likes superheroes like he does. And the sweetest part is that sometimes he calls me with male pronouns without realizing (we speak Spanish, and pronouns go attached with adjectives). I love him so much because of that, he's the only one in the family who actually sees me as the boy i am.

[@WindowIntoMyWorld]

I'm so happy and grateful that like all the toilets in my college are unisex tbh

[@kendallkreidell7299]

I’ve been wanting to come out as non binary to my friend, but I don’t know if they will understand. I lost all of my old friends a few years ago when I came out as bi, and I don’t want to go through that again. Another issue is that I’m pretty “girly” for a non binary person. I wear makeup occasionally and leggings everyday. Where I live is very conservative and I have already been told that “all gays should stay in the closet” and “vegans should be dead” so I don’t really want to be any more different then I already am.

[@dantehuerta9446]

good luck buddy.

[@NoahHella]

ugh that sucks.. be careful kid!

[@emerydurow6076]

Stay safe! Come out when you can be sure your safety can be prioritized.

[@J0lly_jackson]

Honestly, saaaaaaaaaame I live in Texas and both my parents are against lgbtq, and every adult in Texas pretty much brings up the bible, you're also right about the vegan thing. I'm vegetarian and honestly no one is accepting :/ it fuckin sucks, but a majority of my friends are supportive, so you should try too. Friends and kids our age seem to understand how we feel better than adults, they may even be trying to come out as well. Whatever happened/happens (I see your comment was posted 8 months ago) you got this, good luck

[@kaylaheinis1893]

I came out as non-binary to my friends last October! Although my friends were hella accepting and many helped me out with everything like dysphoria and honestly just getting through everything

[@theadventuresofpolyphony8032]

I'm trying to decide at the moment if I want to go by different pronouns and put Non-Binary on my 3rd year uni applications for next year, it's so stressful but this video has been good to help me figure out how I would navigate it, thank you

[@NoahHella]

you're welcome! I hope it works out for you

[@theadventuresofpolyphony8032]

Thank you, so do I haha :)

[@lordfreeza_]

AmberandCo. What do you mean "decide" you're clearly just trying to be trans because it's "cool"

[@theadventuresofpolyphony8032]

Ah my bad sorry, wrong choice of words, what I meant my "decide" was that I'm only just starting to realise things about myself and figuring out how I can feel comfortable in my own skin. I am working through whether I am comfortable enough within myself to show these new discoveries about myself to the world. I, the same as everyone else can not decide their gender (or anything else about your identity for that matter) however you can decide if, when and how you portray and share that with the people around you. What I should have said is "I am working out at the moment whether I am ready within myself to go by different pronouns etc.." I assure you the last think I want to is go on along with societal "trends", I'm trying to be my most authentic self, not "cool". Thank you for picking me up on my misuse of wording :)

[@nylonsghost7938]

I use he/him and they/them, or used to. I had to drop he/him because even if I introduced myself with they/them first, everyone would choose to use he/him. I'm non-binary/transmasc and it feels like people were constantly ignoring that I was non-binary and I was bejbg called male etc... It was kinda shit. For anyone questioning, just remember to be firm about who you are. No one else can decide that for you.

[@treble_exists]

Hey ik it's been awhile but thanks 4 the tip! From some1 questioning being agender !

[@ellieatthedisco2554]

[@NoahHella]

:)

[@charevandenheever4460]

I'm so glad you linked the backpack in the description.

[@MonsterHigh11Demi]

The backpack thing was one of the reasons I knew I was trans, I had one of those and I strap it just under my chest area, so it really highlighted everything. I used to hate so much that, and then I realized that was dysphoria. Now I don't use it, but I'm thinking about using it like you do, maybe it will help me.

[@jaynehaubner]

My friend Cameron is trans He moved to my school in the 9th grade So we had gym together so because he was born female he had to use the girls locker room he did not mind cause the boys did not like him We had a girl in our gym class who could not understand that even though he used the girls locker room he identified a male So she always used she/her pronouns this pissed me off but Cameron was cool anyway

[@dvffYT]

How's Cameron nowadays?

[@Jack-ow9ir]

Thanks for the vid Noah you're always helping and cheering me up

[@Hanakozebra]

what's rly helping me as an agender (they/them) in college is having other trans/nonbinary friends. they're always there to correct others when im feeling awkward about it. I think having lgbt+ friends in generally helps, like my bi friend once referred to me as they/them infront of the teachers (which i didnt mind since ive already told her i dont mind being outed in school). just surround yourself with people u know u can trust and they'll make you feel at home with your new identity

[@Schnort]

I had a pet spider named Greg for a few days. It was one of those little ones that live for like 3 weeks, so it's probably dead now. My mom won't let me keep the big scary spider she found outside :[

[@amr2002amrTM]

Also, another tip I would give that I'm sure you all know is that if you feel more neutral or masculine some days and more feminine some days, bind your chest in some safe way to be more neutral or masculine and other days, you can not bind. Also, I found that having short hair long enough to where I can wear pretty bows allows me to be feminine while other days I can choose to not wear bows and feel more neutral or masculine. I like that about me - giving myself freedom to present myself confidently and feel cute. :)

[@xandyrryan5627]

I was female but I’m non-binary (mainly masculine). Any tips for the beach/pool? I always feel so uncomfortable when I get in my swim gear. I wear a tan binder and swim trunks. I don’t really wanna wear a t-shirt when I swim cuz it sticks to you when wet. Any advice?

[@NoahHella]

that's what I did as well. I also used sports tape but swimming is always an issue. I know that Radimo sells some non binary swimwear. www.radimo.la/?category=SWIM maybe that's something you want to try out

[@averyryalls5470]

[@Dream-hw8uq]

I usually come to school by bicycle so change my binder before first lesson starts. If I change binder to basic sports bra during a school day, I've noticed that it's very uncomfortable to wear sweaty sports bra, so I've tried to keep also a dry one with me.

[@NoahHella]

that's very smart!

[@bossboi9071]

So I feel as if something is wrong with me because as a non binary person I don't get dysphoric with my "assigned" Gender/pronouns. I have come out to at the most 4 of my friends.

[@iceecreme]

My mom keeps telling me it is a phase, how do I know whether it is or not?

[@deaddolly114]

well, I suggest that you read up on it. See if any symptoms or how you feel apply to you. Really, only time will tell if it's a phase or not. Try experimenting with pronouns too! That's helps a lot.

[@devonsummers7137]

honestly i think people are constantly in phases and some last longer than others (2 weeks or 60 years) and the amount of time that you feel a certain way doesnt necessarily have anything to do with how intensely you feel whatever it is. in short, you might feel differently at some point in the future, and thats okay. you still deserve love and respect and support right now.

[@no-em5nf]

Yes this is what needed for so long- I'm gonna go back to school in a few months, all of us are, and well as someone who is exploring my gender, I needed this. :) it was really helpful, only my online friends know that I'm enby but, then again, only a few them know-

[@Dream-hw8uq]

At the moment I have only one binder which I got from one of the trans* group hosts who have had a top surgery so he don't need it anymore, and I don't know what size is it, I think it's correct size for me (still not too big). I'm just wondering that how can u know if having too small binder?

[@NoahHella]

I found my correct size by going to the GC2B website and there they have a measuring system. So you need to measure yourself and then you'll see which size is right for you!

[@rubyvaneerd1567]

[@fluffehhbunnehh]

noah i’m sososososo proud of you & you’re such an inspiration to me to be more confident & know that my gender identity is okay. i do online homebound schooling due to illnesses and this year before school started i emailed all my online teachers and told them about my name change. but i use they/them pronouns and it’s confusing to people so i didn’t tell my teachers about my pronouns bc it was just like too much and my teachers only call me by my preferred name and don’t really call me she/her so it’s okay:))

[@NoahHella]

thank you cutie

[@fluffehhbunnehh]

Noah Hella ahh thank you !! yeah,, i might tell them about my pronouns, but i only have school for 2 more months anyways. i’m such a procrastinator 😅. it’s probably bad but i kinda just don’t feel like dealing with it? idk i probably should though haha

[@NoahHella]

Remi Young Hey I see you ;) yeah do whatever mate, I kinda did the same with some spaces that I was in. Coming out is such a hassle and all the talking and sometimes defending your identity sucks.
