Not-So-Identical-Twins: Nadine and Nola Hanson's Gender Story

[@camarojai6832]

Man this is so deep. I remember being told “a woman’s hair is her glory” and not allowed to cut my hair. Turned 18 and I shaved it OFF.... and then all closed minded people were like “she’s a lesbian”.... when did hair identify a person?

[@tmystery9505]

When did clothes identify a person?

[@jasminevilliers9578]

Agree i have cut my hair upto my ears as a female and i had people still call me beautiful

[@cary9479]

@@tmystery9505 I doesn't. But the clothes should fit you, what you want to wear becouse of your gender or perdonality but how someone express themself doesn't define the gender what define it is with gender identify as, with gender you feel in yourself, for most people it is the same like the sex you are born with (cis) but there are people where it isn't the case where they feel themself as a other gender as their born sex.

[@lilacblue3331]

You do what you like 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@I2345-t9e]

Maybe I‘m just nitpicking, but I do think that hair and clothes to a certain extend „identify (or maybe ‚define‘, is there a difference?) a person“. Like, (ideally) I wear what I personally like and that shows a part of my character. It shows what I feel comfortable in and what fits me best. That of course does not define in anyway a persons gender or sexuality or whatever other conclusions people think they could make from this. It just says, that I feel best with short hair and that I like wearing purple and that I like to wear dresses and feel most comfortable lightly binding my chest. That’s uniquely my style but says nothing about me in other regard.

[@libby367]

I was just confused about why they were stripping in the first place

[@hello-vs4dc]

Libby Millray In case you didn’t figure out the answer to your question yourself, that’s what this whole “What’s underneath” series does. That is, they interview people and have them remove one article of clothing at a time, and as the interview gets closer to that person expressing self acceptance, they reach their underwear (which they leave on, of course) and the viewer sees a person who accepts themselves as they are - individuals who have finally reached a place where they are comfortable in their own skin. In most cases, you learn from the interview that it took each of them a while to reach that point in their lives, just as most of us have also experienced.

What makes it okay is that in cases of trans people, it makes sense (aren't there studies showing that trans people have a different brain structure? Like fucking biological differences proving that it's a real thing.). It prevents suicide, it prevents pain and it makes people happy. You see, chopping breasts off is not the same as chopping an arm off, psychologically at least. (Maybe more akin to beauty surgery? But on a whole nother level with more emotional weight ofc.) It's their happiness by the way. Not yours. Not mine either.

I wonder if society let humans dress however they pleased, without judgement, if people would still feel like they were born in the wrong body.

Some trans people not only have gender dysphoria but dysphoria toward their genitals and breasts or lack there of. For this reason many trans people don't go through bottom surgery (and some top, but top is more common to do) because they don't have the dysphoria towards their genitals.

I mean I get the idea of breaking with shame in our society, but I also feel this is very private and I feel like invading both their spaces. I would'nt have needed that to feel very touched by their story, it was rather a bit too much privacy for me... Besides that I completely love this video and watched it for the second time now, first time a few years ago, and I remember how much it touched me back then too. I can strongly relate to the struggles that Nadine shared as I suffer from anorexia as well and are currently caught in a relapse after years of healthy weight, and I can also relate to what she said about first treating your body kindly and then starting to love it. And I can relate to her love for Nola as Nola's story reminds me of my best friend's story and they touched me deeply. I wish for both of them (Nadine and Nola) that they can heal in each their own way and direction. ❤

I look at guys with their flat chests and know that should be me. I don’t feel right asking for money, so I’m sure I’ll just have to deal with the body I’m in.

While allot of things haven't changed, i still love allot of stuff i did and i've had to learn that it's okay, i know its been hard for him at times since we grew up vary close to one another. So i think its been hard for him to see someone he new change from what they understood, but he has said he feels i'm absolutely in a better place then i was before, calmer and wiser and kinder. But, also, i agree with Nadine, trans surgeries are not elective, yes you can survive without, but since i'm getting my bottom surgery in less then a month, and i am vary privileged to have a vary good job still, i feel like its wrong that something that is so helpful to those of us whom need it cannot get it all because of just money and greed.

[@wildflower1397]

I agree... many men seem to think girl on girl sexuality is a show just for their pornographic fantasy. They automatically think a bi woman means threesome, and include themselves in the scenario. However, some bi women are not at all interested in a polygamous relationship or sexcapades... their girl on girl ideals do not include any man in the situation. Society needs to let go of the harsh judgement about all genders and sexuality, as they benefit nobody and deeply harm some.

[@adrianz5614]

Hey, you are certainly right about bi women being highly sexuslised but I'd like to share my interpretation: I feel like cis bodies, especially gender conforming ones, are seen as deseriable. Bisexual women are seen as desireable. Trans people and gender non conforming people are seen as non normative and undesireable. Its difficult to put into words but dating can be really hard as a trans/nonbinary or gnc Person since we are often seen as "defect" and not allowed to be sexual. Both being hypersexualised and being declared defect or too disgusting to be worthy of attraction is really harmful.

[@Ace-jd2ty]

@@adrianz5614 great interpretation! But one thing I'd like to add is that even if we are seen as desirable that doesn't mean that people can sexualise us. And being sexualised is a bit different that being seen as desirable. And as a bigender (female and non binary) who is bisexual and asexual I have to agree that trans and non binary people do seem to be treated as less desirable, mostly do to people no understanding or not thinking that trans and non binary people are valid and real

@@Ace-jd2ty oh I wasnt trying to equate hypersexualisation and being seen as desireable here.

If I get you right the transmasculine person is using he/him pronouns now and changed their name to Nolan? That sounds awesome as it seems like they found their way/he found his way. I'm glad you are having a great boxing coach and mentor in him. ❤ He seems like a person I would like to be a friend with in the video.

[@anonymous-q9g]

@@TeanmaResanaria-ls9eu Yes, he changed his name to Nolan and now uses he/they pronouns! He’s changed so much- I didn’t even know this video existed, I wanted to draw a portrait of him and was trying to find a reference. Seeing this made me feel so happy for him because he seems so much happier now and is changing lives in the daily.

I'm going through something very similar!!! I’m a trans guy who also have a twin, and I’m still dealing with the process... it’s so cool to know that I’m not the only person in this situation :3

[@yanirahahn2311]

Guess who is also a twin? ;) How are you doing? I hope that you find what you are looking for and become the person that you want to be.

[@laurenj432]

I’m really glad there’s so much acceptance and support for people who feel like they don’t identify with a gender

[@emoticonfeliz2129]

Honestly, putting aside the gender issue, I think the whole "you can't wear or do that because you're a girl/boy" is very toxic, like even if it was a girl identifiying as a girl that likes tuxedos more than dresses what's the problem? Let her be.

[@solarsleepless]

For anybody confused on why Nadine is calling Nola by they/them pronouns, it's because they're nonbinary, aka outside the gender binary and not really belonging to one gender or another! Hope this clears things up.

[@fur8104]

We dont care

[@VirMedina]

I’m actually watching this because I have a twin trans brother as well. Our story as siblings is very similar to Nadine and Nola’s: we both have had a difficult relationship with our bodies in the same way these two people have (dysphoria versus simply disliking your body because of society), people also read me as the straight girl since the queer person seems to be my brother when really we are both bi, etc. I’m thankful I found this video, now I know someone in the world really gets me.

[@ShadoWolf43]

I too am going through a similar journey with my twin! And as a I read through the comment section I see other twins making the same remark, Its incredible to see and hear this chain level of representation.

Thanks for sharing!

[@DontAskHowIGotIt]

two very beautiful people, who found their strength early enough in life to keep it for themselves. Respect.

[@coleengoodell3550]

Watching this makes me so thankful for the parents I had. I was never forced to dress in any way or pressured to be anything but myself. Never called a tom boy or made to feel that one activity was acceptable another not. I do remember however the first time I had to wear a shirt when we were in the National Forest at our cabin. I had always run around topless there. My mom came outside and told me that I had to put on a shirt, I was 12. It was the first and only time that I became completely defiant. I stomped around outside for about 15 minutes, upset and I guess grieving the loss of a freedom that I always assumed I'd have. No difference between boys and girls. I finally went in and put a shirt on. But that's the only thing that my gender has ever stopped me from doing what I wanted to do.

[@theclassiccosmic]

Having a twin sister also, I completely agreed with them when they said they fear death. Leaving my sister or having my sister leave me is the last thing I would ever want in this world. I love Nadine & Nola's bond. That's a sister that truly supports her other half ❤

Thanks for sharing, so interesting!

[@MissCBwasadancer3]

This is really important. I don’t truly grasp what these people go through or who they are/what their pronouns or identity means because I’ve been bedridden for 4 years, housebound for 5 and don’t really know what’s going on in the ‘outside world’. Without watching this I would’ve gone on with my mere existence having absolutely no idea. I still have lots to learn, but want to thank you for opening my eyes. This is awesome!👏🏻

[@elisagoodkind7694]

So sorry to hear what you are going through and so happy to hear that this video opened your eyes! xo

[@paulwilliammonks1]

Love how Nadine just dumps her clothes and Nola carefully folds up every item lol im deffo more like Nadine .

[@lesleybailey6924]

I loved that Nadine has hairy armpits but still feminine. I loved your honesty and bravery both of you. Be your true self, live your life and be proud of your beautiful selves.

[@angelazolezzi]

I taught these beautiful twins years ago. I'm in awe of both of you for your honesty and bravery. And I'm so happy you have both grown to a place where you accept yourselves and find peace in yourselves. ❤

[@detectivepinkerton3258]

Ive seen several things about trans people not feeling right in their body from a young age and I always get so happy for them when they finally get to be themselves. I didn't know until like 6th/7th grade but still, I'm happy for people that finally get to be themselves

[@marxjenn1]

Thank you for watching

[@kimberlyceulemans6015]

There are a lot of things I love about this video and these siblings. Nadine used they/them so easily, it warmed my heart and it is just proof of how easy it is to adjust your use of pronounce towards someone else. Second- I got SO excited when Nola said they were gonna have top surgery! I hope they healed good and that they are happier now ^^ Also, Idk if this is weird, but Nadine was comfortable with her arms up, where there was hair in her armpits. I hope this isn't wrong to say or to notice, but I don't shave either. I sometimes do bc I feel more comfortable when I am posing for self portraits (I'm a photographer). But this made me actually more comfortable with seeing a beautiful lady being confident just having her arms up. Maybe one day I won't be self cautious anymore when I go swimming with my bodyhair Okay well... That was it XD I hope I didn't offend anyone, and if I did, I'll delete my comment or the part that was innapropriate ^^ I hope you guys are well ^^
