alternative title: Noah talks about his hair for 26 minutes straight
*26 minutes gay
LMAOOO
i was waiting for someone to say it
Your username says everything about you
I completely forgot this video was not about his hair
"I only started being a person when I was 19, and I'm only 22 now so" resonates in a way that i don't know how to explain
Same here and I'm not even trans...
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
@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
@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
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.
“It sucks being a trans person and being complimented on the aspects of your body that make you want to die”
Took words off my mouth
it's absolutely horrible. i remember my friend at the time commenting on how my hips were getting bigger and how it finally made me look feminine (i was already masculine presenting) and i really thought of just jumping under traffic then and there. still one of the most traumatic interactions in my life
Literally same my moms friends being like “oh your such a cute GIRL” yeah thanks 😒 or my mom yelling when i was younger “you need to stop acting so uncomfortable with your body why do you do that your a girl all of us are like that 🙄” maybe i didn’t wanna be a girl mom 😇
@@ziggyzagyt sameeee
oh, now all makes sense
I dont even consider this a compliment
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!
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 :)
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.
@@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.
Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
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 :,)
This sounds so dumb of me to say about myself but i dont feel like i can acept myself i dont wanna be the real me yet but also i do and i wanna be a boy but rn i feel like struggeling in self aceptense😅 (i know my pfp probaly look femine i forgot to update my pfp this photo is from a show i used to watch 3 years ok oops😂)
@@pastelpurpleflowers4044 tbh i feel like a i kind of relate to that like... i know how i feel and how i have been feeling about my gender but at the same time i think deep down that i wish i didnt have to deal with it, like there have been times where i have considered trying to identify as my agab but i could just never go through with trying to do that bc doing that wasnt bc i thought i was wrong but bc if i were cis again then i wouldnt have to worry about losing anything but at the same time i just wouldnt be living like me. Sorry if i put words in ur mouth and the long paragraph
@@rejecthumanityreturntocrab6521 no you dont and oh i'm glad not being the only one wich i know i arent i feel like being cis is an act and it feels like hiding who i am but i know if i keep pushing thro i maybe one day can come out and acept myelf for who i am tysm for responding you seems pretty nice and yesh i am glad someone responded because idk what to do with myself sometimes😂
Older? Holy shit i'm 22 and i'm still feel like a little kid D:
@@pastelpurpleflowers4044 very relatable
this should be titled noah's hair journey

@@jeremylee5990 aaah. the girl NOAH.
I'm guessing the Jeremy dude said something concerning
Maaaan, I had the almost exact same relationship with my hair in the past. Super long, scene layers for many many years... Deffo hid behind it. Even obsessed over it, because it was like, the only thing I ever got complimented on. So, as an anxious teen uncomfortable with their gender and changing body might assume from that praise... 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!
Omg I love your videos Jamie
Such an icon
YOOO JAMIES HEREEEEEE

my name is jamie too
it is my name
the name i chose for myself
ive always loved the name and when you chose it i loved it more because i was like "wow this super awesome human has my name too!"
This comment is literally calling me out rn-
I'm so impressed with you. You're here on the internet letting everyone watch you grow as a person.
I'm old enough to be your grandparent (and trans) and if you were my grandson I would be so proud! Keep being you!
💙
Omg my heart just melted ☺️
love that you are an old trans person
I'm not trans but I'm genderfluid, bi, and a big LGBTQ+ supporter. Can you adopt me as well?

who is zayn
@@peterevans6480 unrelated but ok haha, zayn is from one direction, in 2015 he moved on from 1D to do a solo curreer, hopefully that’s enough information haha, if your wondering about my pfp, he is being framed for something at the moment, most of the DIRECTIONERS are setting this as their pfp
@@leos_act ah ok that makes sense. ive been seeing these pfp a lot
@@leos_act but didnt he admit to it? and there is nothing to "stand with"?

I absolutely love how a transition video slowly became a haircut progression video
somebody call brad mondo!
“I was very depressed obviously. Not just because of the trans thing *flicks wrist* 💅 “
never thought i’d be so invested watching someone talk about their hair for 26 minutes
Me neither, and I took time off studying for this. He is so entertaining to watch and I never leave a video of his feeling like I wasted time (even if it is about hair, which he somehow makes enjoyable).
me neither
@@vavacadoz same
Sometimes I find him so relatable.
"I knew I was not the best looking, maybe I wasn't ugly, but I felt ugly, so in all my pictures I tried to make ugly faces to counteract how ugly I felt because I was like 'oh, what if I purposely make an ugly face then people can't call me ugly they'll see a picture of me looking ugly' and it's I look ugly because I'm pulling a silly face, uh, so that's what I did".
Dude, I really feel that...
Yeah, when he said I was like oh I did that too
All my old pictures of myself are so bad because I felt this way
Yes I still do that when my friends want to do selfie with me. It kinda annoys some of them unfortunately so I try to just not look at myself when they do the photo
@@sprout_05 same
him talking : kalm
his movements:⬆↗↘↗↗↖↘➡↖↘↗⬆⬆
crazy to me that Noah's like "well even tho i was already masculine i still looked like a little girl" and in my head I'm like "no you didn't (?) what are you talking about" idk if it's his current image that's too strong for me but my brain cannot fathom that kid being a girl lol
Same. The only picture where he looked like a girl, he was asleep. Even with long hair he looked like he belonged in an 80s all male hair band
Yeah he was always a guy. That photo of him in the black dress (the last time he wore a dress) looks like a guy who was made to wear a dress by his mates and feels awkward about it. If you took the photo from the neck up most people would see a guy. I feel the same way about Jammidodger's pre-transition pictures .
Always remember: Every picture is a reminder of how far you've come. Even if you feel like there's no way out and you don't even recognize yourself in the mirror, every small choice and act of self-acceptance is another step towards your best self. To those who can't be their true selves right now, know that there are people out there who support you and amazing people like Noah providing inspiration for your eventual success. Take a deep breath, and keep your head up. You can do this
Thank you very much❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Anytime!
I- no I can’t :D
Right back at ya
Not me having a baby picture of me giving my mom the stink eye
Me in my room at 4:28 am like “HELLO UNDERACHIEVERS!”
'ELLO UNDERACHIVERS* ;)
Even being a cis straight female and having long girly hair and not knowing what to do with it and hating skirts and having no option to wear trousers at school was awful for me. It made me depressed and stopped me doing what I wanted to do which was hang out with the boys and do 'boy stuff' (yuk like such a divide is real!). I cannot imagine how this must have felt as a boy. The whole boy/girl haircuts and clothes thing needs to stop. Thanks for the video Noah you are awesome.
You say that the gender haircut divide needs to stop but then you say that you were more attracted to doing boys stuff. Its like you can’t decide whether gender difference exists or not. Makes no sense.
@@sallywright8065 did you see the quotation marks?
Hearing Noah explain his transition timeline for a second in the beginning really gave me hope, I'm 19 and just figured my identity out last year. Good to know I have a chance, thank you Noah ✌
It was just the path of least resistance :'( That broke my heart so much. It is so amazing to see you look back and clearly articulate your feelings but also be kind to your past self.
I find myself salting the earth every time that I miss you, I feel the way you do.
it hits so hard :/
And I don’t deserve you, you deserve the world.
I always smile once I hear “HELLO UNDERACHIEVERS”
I love your profile pic

@@songofthesea6353 I am indeed a Larry fan
When I was little (maybe 5) my mom got my brother a Superman costume for Halloween and it had the six pack and everything. My brother said it was uncomfortable and so I said I would wear it. I walked around going house to house and every time someone called me “superwoman” I would say “I’m superMAN!” Looking back on it I’m thinking wow. How can my parents not tell.
"Young trans guys"
Me: woaahh he's talking about me
Noah! You won't remember this at all but you did a video looking back at your early T videos etc, and I left a long comment saying you were way too harsh on baby Noah & should be kinder to him. So hearing you saying you should have been kinder to your younger self & setting a better example for other trans people made me do a little cry. I'm super proud of you! Also, I'm 32 & going through some gender stuff and love your videos, so it's not just young trans people who you inspire & support. Sending you so much love pal, you're doing fucking great ❤️❤️❤️
Noah is amazing and he gives me hope when I'm feeling low. I'm 21 months on hormones (I'm a trans girl) right now,I'm really depressed as I've been waiting 3 1/2 for my first appointment at my gender clinic
@@themikaylashow9374 aww, I'm so sorry for that. I know I can't do anything much, but just know that you're so swag and very strong. I'm so proud of you!
@@ollie5963 thank you so much. My family hates me for being trans but all my friends has noticed how much happier I am being on hormones
@@themikaylashow9374 It sounds to me like your friends are your real family, most of my biological family hates that I'm trans as well (ftm) I don't associate myself with them anymore and I now think of my friends as my real family.
@@ollie5963 totally agree,my trans family IS my family
that picture of you smiling after you cut off all the bottom layers of your longer hair made me genuinely smile after all the discomfort in your other pictures. ilysm and am so proud of how far you’ve come :))
this makes me feel so accepted and happy how you tell us your experience of how you grew as a true person, as a confused non-binary who doesn't know who they are yet, you always cheer me up. You are so fucking cool and I hope I can be as proud of myself as you when I finally learn who I am. The phrase "HELLO UNDERACHIEVEMENTS'" always makes me so happy. Thank you for everything you have done to us Noah.
I was watching this video with my (Very gay) brother and when Noah said that he was 22 my brother goes “wtf he looks 16!” And I just laughed because I look 12…trans guy problems✌️
(I say problems but I still get away with child price tickets on the tube)
Fun fact about haircuts, Noah: the first "scene haircut" picture you showed... I knew several guys in high school with that exact cut (though, by my time it was no longer cool, tbh). That was definitely a popular "guy haircut" from the '70s to the mid '90s in the US, I'd say. 😊
That haircut came back when I was in middle school. So many guys I new had a long scene haircut
As a gay guy in school, I avoided doing sports lessons as I found the other boys hated me being in the same changing rooms, that always accused me of perving on them.....I got bullied slot for my sexuality in school. I used to skip sports class as a result and used to end up with detention for it. But I never told teachers why. Now as an adult I never use public places for my gender and pee in a cubicle as it just makes me feel uncomfortable..... seriously bad school memories have lasted in my mind.
Hah my school is so gay that we end up hating on the straight people more than the straight people hate on us. I’m sorry to hear that though man, i know how much this stuff can get to you.
I feel that, I'm gay and I live in a religious conservative part of America and I get scared sometimes when I go to school
@@rafaelfactor120 I feel your suffering. My school days thank goodness are behind me, but boy does the mental hurt from that period of my life stay with me. Prejudice is so awful and unacceptable. Stay strong brother and always be you. Never let the haters win. Being gay isnt something to be ashamed of, its something to be proud of. It's a part of you, never apologies for it and never hide it. Be gay and be proud- as am I fully these days.🏳️🌈💙👍
@@Sam-zu5mr I feel more scared in my own home because my parents are hella religious and they believe me being gay is like a disease or a sin or whatever
@@rafaelfactor120 it ain't a sin or a disease....its how you feel sexually. A true sin is not supporting your sexual orientation. Your thier child, they should love you UNCONDITIONALLY. That's what love is. You are who you are and never apologise for it....not even to family members. If there is a God....you will be loved for being your true self and by living a truthful life. If your Gay, God meant you to be that way....think about it. Your sexuality isnt your fault, you were made that way. God made you that way. Hope this helps.
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.
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
it's hard to remember that cis ppl see the agab versions of us as "normal" even though photos from those times in our lives usually look so wrong to us
My family actually doesn’t really like looking back at my pre transition photos. It’s weird looking at them. They don’t really make me or my parents feel uncomfortable but it’s just feels like we are looking at a picture of someone who doesn’t exist anymore.
For real… it’s like… you know that was an empty human in a weird way and even by the way you pose you can tell 😅
You wonder…how is people not seeing that I’m deeply uncomfortable ?
Noah, I'm a 33-year old trans guy just starting my transition, and I'm so happy that you were able to transition at a young age and that you share your experiences. Your channel has been a real source of solace and hope for me, it's fantastic to see you thriving and listen to how you talk about your old body and your new one (for the lack of better words); watching you really makes me feel safe and confident in my own identity, and makes medical transition feel normal and natural instead of this big scary thing I've made it out to be in my youth.
The trans community really needs people like you and I hope you all the best in life.
Noah is so amazing and he's such a great guy. Whenever my dysphoria kicks into overdrive,he really helps me out
As a gay guy. I love being a male. And if I was born a female, I think I would have transitioned too. I think we, cis people, are very lucky because we don’t have to go through that.
oh wow 💀
@@nieaktualne55555 oh sorry, did I say something offensive? Sometimes I don’t think things through.
As a lesbian cis girl, I love being a female too, I would have transitioned too
@@raulantunez4228No, don't worry, you didn't. I have no idea why they said that
@@nieaktualne55555What?
Seems like an universal trans guy thing with the “last dress photo” in which u just stand there like 🧍
I just had a memory come back to me. I elementary school there was a student his name was Jay and before he transitioned the school forced him to wear a dress. I remeber him crying and being really sad. He was in 5th grade (about 10 or 11) I can't get that out of my head :(
poor guy 💙
@@salmonellq2981 I know it made me so sad for him.
I actually gasped when he said looking at himself in the mirror made him want to crawl out of his body because although I don't feel dysphoric very often, when I do that's the exactly what I feel like! Obviously I'm not happy about either of us feeling that but knowing at least one other person knows how I feel makes me feel so much better
I actually enjoy seeing pictures of myself as a girl because I look at them and ask myself how can a haircut and some clothes change a person this much. Now if I put on girls clothes I just think I look ridiculous.
The weirdest part is that when I was still presenting as a girl I really felt like a guy in a dress when wearing dresses, but obviously no one else saw it
Does this mean that de-gendering clothes will remove gender dysphoria? Just curious
@@Anonymous-df8it maybe, but it's not my case. I know I would still have dysphoria if I did it when I actually have dysphoria. But sometimes I forget about it and if I do it then I can actually have a laugh. Now I have much less dysphoria than before (I've had top surgery and started T since then), so I would probably be able to have a laugh at any time
I went to the Primark in Blackpool behind the tower today and was wearing my Life’s A Bit hoodie and the person at the till complimented it and said they watch Noah too. It was so weird finding another Underachiever in the wild. I was really shocked when they said they liked it and met him
I don't think you were ever ugly. I'm so glad you have found your way. You are an inspiration to many. Well done mate !!!
I love your teeth! There is something about an imperfect smile that is so attractive in a world full of perfectly straight teeth.
One of the many reasons I love Freddie Mercury as well as Noah!
YES!!!! They are so endearing, and suit his style and aesthetic so well. I honestly think it adds to his attractiveness 10x. He is already very handsome, but the teeth add to it honestly. They give that punk rock, don't want to be perfect looking vibes lol.
This might be the first comment I've seen on this channel that is actually encouraging of self-acceptance. I think that calling the smile "imperfect" rather damages the message, but it's a start. Well done!
The part where you said "It looks fine, it's just not really me is it" hit so much. I look back sometimes on photos where I was more feminine presenting and while I liked it at the time and still think it looked nice, that just doesn't feel like me anymore you know? I've kind of have grown and changed into something I'm more comfortable with, or at least trying to be more comfortable with. Thank you for this video bro, as someone currently questioning it was really helpful actually and very empowering. 💚
As a gender fluid person looking back i definitely relate to like so many of his feelings
also genderfluid also so secondhand upset cuz I felt so many of these things
i love this history lesson about Noahs haircuts
Thank you for the video, ive been dysphoric the whole day, im atm locked In my room been In a bad place, this video just gives me so much hope
you got this! it's gonna get better
Lovejoy🙃
ITS 3:45 AM AND I JUST BITE MY TONGUE
youre strong. ive also been in a dysphoric rut this whole day. I get it, it's hard man
I know how you feel. The past 3 days I've been so dysphoric
your smile in the picture where you'd first cut off all your hair legit made me tear up. i remember that feeling so well.
ik this video was a year ago but watching ur videos makes me more confident being a transmale
@@user-vb3go2xz8che is accepting himself and accepting he is a trans guy, you don't know him and yet you manage to be an asshole, instead of bitching about people who know who they are go complain to a manager or something, I'm sure your good at it
Aww look who deleted their comment
I'm really sorry about the mean comment, I'm trans ftm too btw :)
I'm a trans woman and I can relate, I know those feelings to need to appear in a completely different to way that you feel like and panic
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
Hey dude, you literally have ALL the accessories that I wanted for years but m too afraid to get. The padlock necklace, the piercings, the black nail polish. You look awsome.
*“hello underachievers” just makes my day*
that would sound so weird out of context bahah
Oi, learning about his relationship with his hair all his life makes it to when he says "I hate my hair" in other videos hit home differently
I’m a ftm trans guy and I’m still 14. Seeing that you went through all of this makes me feel like I’m not alone. I get bullied a-lot at school and I just grew my hair out to my collar bones. Im about to go get my hair cut again and I’m going for a similar hair cut as you. Thank you for giving me the confidence, you came such a long way
Hey fellow 14 year old trans guy
Even as a very cis person hearing this story and experience is really interesting and moving.
Also just educating myself with trans things from these videos is really awesome.
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".
i am you
Omgggg me rn
came to this channel because he was roasting transphobes, stayed because oh shit he's hot? stayed further to learn more about the parts of lgbt that usually don't affect me. always happy to learn and see the experiences of others
“I was born a girl, but now I am not” is a mood
Well, it's certainly something. I'd call it a muddle.
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've been following you since I was a sad teen in 2017 and now I'm almost two years post-top surgery and 2 years on Testosterone. I've seen you grow from being this kind-of-an-arse little kid to have such maturity to not want your viewers to see you be mean to your past self (which I'm still struggling to learn lol).
Thank you so much for all that you do Noah :")
no cuz why am i crying rn lmao i only subscribed to u 2 years ago so its not been forever but seeing u be more kind to your past self is so precious n im so proud of u bestie
Honestly so lucky to have had a parent that let you have your own hairstyle growing up....My mum would always say i'd regret it and I've had short hair for almost 10 years now and I still don't regret it, the only regret I have is not doing it sooner without my mum's knowledge
I'm so grateful to be growing up in a time where transgender people are more common and more people are educated about what being trans means, and there's so much more support for being LGBTQ+.
BRO THAT TOILET STORY BROUGHT BACK SOME MEMORIES I HAD LOCKED AWAY
Sameee I'm glad it wasn't just me😭
this is gonna be me in 10 years
You can do it:)
@@Mia-nz1qr thank you
And it’s gonna be wonderful! You got this !
For me it will be 4 years 👿
This just made me realise so much about myself
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.
This should have been called my life story as told by haircuts
"HELLO UNDERACHIVERS" always cheers me up :)
same ❤
I love how careful Noah is in this video to make sure that younger trans people don’t have themselves. It’s so sweet and he’s a great person
This is completely irrelevant to the video but I started testosterone yesterday! Thank you Noah for helping me find who I am.
I LOVE YOU AAAA SO PROUD OF HOW FAR YOU'VE COME
Edit: WHERE DID ALL THESE LIKES COME FROM OMG TYSM
is that to me? i can’t tell
@@jamiedodger483 it's to Noah. but I'm proud of you too!!
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?
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.
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
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.
@@randomdreamer5429 Thankyou. It definitely feels right. I’m a boy, not a girl :)
@@mayawoolf7512 i'm happy to hear you say that. i wish you the best :))
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.
24:29 is such an album cover vibe I can’t explain it. Red scratches and all
He was a little lad with a bob cut
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.
i love how he doesn't even look like a girl in a lot of these pictures. he looked like a boy pretending to be a girl, because that's basically what he was.
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!
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!
@Tom Morrison HI Tom! Thank you so much! I hope you're doing well and have an amazing week!
Hey Rhys! Lovely name by the way, that’s one I considered while I was in the process of changing mine. I now go by Ruairi (he/him)!
You’re very right, dresses are not comfortable but unfortunately for me school uniforms exist so I have to wear them a lot. I hope you don’t have to wear too many dresses anymore.
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!
@@bigmanrui3503 just realized I've seen some of your comments on Noah's videos before! 😅
hi rhys!
i'm a girl and i have to agree - dresses sucks.
Love the growth of wanting to be nicer to past you
Noah saying 'LIFE SUCKED' with the most excited look on his face is a total mood
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!
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 found your content inspirational and funny in the past, but I recently had a friend come out to me as trans and watching videos like this has helped me understand her journey in some way. Thank you
I have had a few of your videos show up in my stream and watched them because your confidence impressed me. I am an old gay guy who grew up listening to NOFX, The Queers and even GreenDay so was pleasantly surprised that I like your style of music. That said, there are more cities in Canada than Toronto. Would definitely go see you if you came to the east coast. It is great to live authentic.
i like the i started being a person at 19 quote that's cool
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 ✌
EYO WE HAVE THE SAME NAME . IM ELLYOTT AND WERE THE SAME AGE . god dang coincidences
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.
@@coralovesnature Thank you. I swear I know this, but I still wonder sometimes. This made me smile.
@@ryyaku_8577 Oh, wow! Fun coincidence lol
Hey I’m a trans guy too- I’ve been on t for4.5 years and I’m now a stealth guy with a beard and all. I like to wear skirts sometimes too! I worry about how others will perceive me when I wear skirts as well so I definitely understand knowing that you can be trans and wear skirts but still feeling worried about it.
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.
I find the stigma wierd that short hair (for a girl) or long hair (for a boy) means you are part of the LGBTQ community. I think you can have any hair length you want regardless of gender/preferences etc. It doesn't make you any less of a man or woman. Regardless of what style you choose, you shouldn't be forced a label upon you, you (as in all of us) know or have an idea of who we are (or are learning about our trueselves), the style we choose shouldn't dictate who we are.
I am a trans man who is 14 and I love that Noah cares about us, I am happy
its so cool seeing how much youve grown and how much happier you seem!!
You have come so far! We're all so proud of you! 🖤
you've literally never looked like a gurl, like it feels so wrong that people thought you were one
why do i rewatch this every month
i dont know
i dont know
Same. Same.
i dont know
@@_lavender_pebbles_ Maybe you are trying to brainwash yourself.
This vid should be named: my entire HAIR STORY 😂😂
I remember watching your videos and t updates at like 12 years old and looking up to you hoping I could transition someday
I Just started T last week :)
"I Just started T last week"
Hurray!
as someone who only recently cut my hair and exited my uncomfortable phase basically last year, this was so painfully relatable and honestly inspiring to watch. thank you for being so vulnerable with us on here!
The amount of growth and self love you’re showing is absolutely incredible. You’re old video made me so sad hearing you be so hard on yourself. I totally got it, as I had my moments where I felt that way too (I think we all do especially as teens/kids), but to hear someone else have the those same thoughts…it broke me, because I never wanted anyone to feel and think the way I did for a short time about myself. Life is all about growth and learning to embrace yourself and just be you. You got it figured out, dude. Happy for you.
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!
