"Finally! He's connecting with his roots!" lmao 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂🤣
i love how he imitates his grandma.
@@Butterflier00 irritates
Was Trevor trying to justify an awkward hug 😂😂
Or an unwillingness to hug. Lol
Eh. It happens
Yes I think so lol
Am sure he was...the African in him doesnt want it buh tryin be politically correct wid American norms...😁
@@seyramkulewosi4611 boom!
I actually liked Trevor's commentary on clip on earrings.... it was clear it was not his first time wearing them
no dear its was defense mechanism.....
Erica Folinsky EVERYONE played or wanted to play in their mom’s closet. Or dad’s, idk 😛
@@theophilyjoseph7063 about what? Trevor's grandma is Xhosa... the males in his tribe wear skirt, dress and jewelry identical to the female ones... do you really thing wearing clips is a big deal for him?! The guy is South African not a confused Caucasian who believes there is a specific way to look to be considered a man.
@EJ what mental illness?
@saint of jesus Christ *person. They're gender non-confirming.
Trevor looks so natural in those earrings like honestly im impressed.
Earrings are not natural, they are man made
@@mrbust999 bitch, don't kill the vibe.
“I did have a growth spurt 20 mins ago!”
Whenever I put on stilettos! 👏
Yea why shouldn't guys wear high heels if they want to. Everyone knows tons of straight guys wear women's underwear so why are they so offended?
Haha. People ask me my height and I ask with or without shoes. I am 4'11" without heels and at least 5'4" with heels. I am always in heels or wedges. :(
@@shawnathans5868 wait what?!
Aka "sitting-down shoes".
@@BothHands1 yea pretty sure the majority of them have that fetish
The earrings actually look great on Trevor lol
I know, right? He looked better actually.
Sim Simas earrings add more symmetry and balance to ones face. Expecially if you chose them right.
@@suides4810 Yes, symmetry makes things more attractive than if they were asymmetrical. Agreed. Thanks!
Yes, they do! He looks great in them!
Heck no!
Yeah, im from Zimbabwe (just north of Trevor's homeland) and when i saw him with the ear rings i just thought "oh snap, he looks like royalty"
Traditional African fashion is so dope (not to generalise a whole continent, I just mean from what I have gathered from a few photos of tribal folks in their traditional garments).
That's hilarious and awesome :)
i literally thought he looked like an Egyptian king
Yes instant African King. It changed the way he held his head.
I’m from South Africa and that was my first thought as well
I love that Trevor left the earrings on and didn't take them off as soon as they were done talking about them.
Trista Pista me too, what a babe.
@EJ Oh sodd off
There wasn’t much time after putting them on anyway... but I’m sure he would’ve kept them on (no lie)
@saint of jesus Christ your trauma is showing
@NASdaq dowJONES
"Has to act a certain way" bro, really?
You honestly think he landed The Daily Show, succeeded the great John Stewart, so he could _pretend_ to enjoy himself?
Have you ever watched any of Trevor's comedy skits? Any of the Between the Scenes?
This is real, man, and we *do* know what he was thinking, because he said exactly what he was thinking, _during_ the interview.
Damn. Trevor looking good wearing those ear rings.
Right?
I don't think there is anything Trevor could wear, and NOT look good.
He looked African i loved it.
YES! He looks great in them.
Haha yesss I thought the same thing!
I agree with Trevor.. Being south African myself and being part of a suppressed nation as a child... I get why many south Africans don't really care about genders or race.. There's so much more things to be worried about in this world that to pick on someone because what they identify as...!✌
There are places in the world much worse off than South Africa that are very concerned with tradition and social norms. So much so that they will stone you to death.
@@missl849 I completely agree..!! ✌
I'm a historical reenactor and many years ago, I noticed that a lot of the "manly men" in my group were having all these conversations about hats and shoes and colours and new clothing. In the context of reenactment, there isn't any reason to label them "sissies" (to borrow Jacob Tobia's excellent word). They are just reenactors trying to get the look of the historical people they represent correct. But there was something more. Men in our society have not had license to express themselves through clothing for nearly 200 years. And reenactment somehow gave these butch guys an excuse to "play in the dress-up box". I think we all need that. We all need to adorn ourselves. And to assume it's a feminine thing is to miss the point. As Trevor found, he looked more traditionally African in earrings! Men don't have to be trans to wear skirts. Women wear trousers all the time and we don't have to be trans to do it. I think gender nonconformity is an amazing thing for all people on the gender spectrum. Thanks Jacob Tobia for teaching us about it through your journey!
what an insightful observation!
I have had a similar experience amongst high level viking fighting reenactors. Before a big battle with the swedes I overheard a group of men eagerly discussing how one guy had decorated the sleeves of his robe, and how did that stitching to make the fabric sit a certain way. And this was not unusual. Bearded, badass warriors who enjoys a chance to sow and embroider and play.
you are so right.
Cheers on that. I'm all about men wearing makeup, nailpolish, skirts, whatever they feel like. Because we all should be able to express ourselves. Men shouldn't be afraid to appear feminine.The only reason those things are considered feminine is because we as a society put a label on it, but men can redefine their masculinity by embracing this style, if they feel like it. Masculinity is still terribly fragile but if we start making it more stable the world could be a kinder place, I believe.
Kass, interesting you say over 200 years ...that got me wondering if maybe men Had to put away the more beautiful European style clothing and put on more utilitarian work clothes to facilitate building America . And now there time to explore getting back to more desiable fabrics and styles
Trevor is so clean cut that he really can pull it off. The jawline and dimples help quite a bit too lol.
EJ Trevor does amazing interviews. I don’t think any of his interviews are exploiting or purely for TV ratings.
EJ pussy
I know he won’t see this but can someone tell Trevor he is ROCKING those earrings?!
Amanda Moore it really was a look!!!
YES!!!!!
Right!!?? I want a pair seriously!!
“Finallyyyyyyyy he’s connecting to his roooootsss!” 😂😂😂
In my personal opinion. Not only does this guy look insane. But I feel he is actually mentally insane. Don't care about people disliking my opinion. Cus it's the minority opinion I think. But I've tried the whole understanding what you don't know. I've talked to many people explored myself and come to the conclusion that this life is not the way to go for people wanting to achieve happiness and good mental health In todays world.
@Your Prefrontal Cortex do you have any idea when America was founded? Do you not understand America was founded by people who owned slaves themselves? What's your point other than showing us your ignorance
@Your Prefrontal Cortex I don't know why you think I have a problem with that.
"Your trauma is showing." I love it!
I KNOW RIGHT
+
Olivia so true
Olivia yeah, After trying to figure out how to handle someone that I love and care about who is lashing out from the trauma/fears of some sort that I can’t identify yet, it’s so nice to finally figure out exactly what I can say LOL
🔥
I love what they said about "Darling your trauma is showing"
It also relates to sexuality. So many people are called 'gay' as a young teenager and then are so self insecure that to feel affirmed in their own sexuality and (in most cases) masculinity, they feel the need to claw down people that aren't straight... I feel sorry for them
Let's not romanticize trauma, pls.
Trevor I like the way you made that statement that if people aren't hurting other people why should it matter. 👌👍
So, you're okay with little girls changing in bathrooms with men? You're okay with male bodied people competing in sports against female bodied people and taking away their accolades? Women haven't even had their own sports teams and own bathrooms for a 100 years and they're already being taken away.
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet I'm not ok with women murder and men. I am not ok with women being put in male prisons. Your points is valid. There is a lot of changes that has to be made on both sides. The one thing that I cannot stand is people not accepting other people just because they don't believe it is right. If people are not harming other people why should there be so much problems with it.
Hi! I used to have this belief but I’ve learnt that maybe it can be quite misguided. Things like for eg. cocaine or plastic surgery are definitely only ‘hurting’ the person who does it but it can set an example, and a detrimental one at that, for society. I do think plastic surgery is someone’s own business just as their gender is but just that this statement has its flaws you know:)
@@user-rr3eo2zj6d look I hope I am wrong by saying this. It sounds to me there was a bit of hate in your statement. There is a lot of people out there that gets tattoos and piercings and a number of other things that I dislike either but I haven't the right two make comments that it is setting a bad example for the public.
brian hutchinson Thank you! Great point!
Love the fact he makes all kinds of subject easy to digest. Even if I wasn't open minded to a subject, he makes it possible for me to hear the other side. Can't wait till he comes back to Chicago.
Asian cutie
I wish trevor would wear those earrings in every episode. He looks fucking gorgeous
Jacob, on the off chance you ever see this, I just wanna say that though I was too shy a kid at Raleigh Charter to talk as much as I wanted to with you, you have become such a wonderful inspiration to people and I'm so proud I got to meet you.
Bulshit
looking traditional there trevor. (Xhosa Accent)- "We are proud"
I find it funny when I watch videos of Tobia and people are saying things like "that's not a real woman!". Dude, they're not trying to be a woman lol
oh, u coulda fooled me with tht dress, heels and make up lol
Wtf is he trying to be then

What about the facial hair?
@@AmbyJeans ur right i forgot to mention how his facial hair really accents his gender-chill legs 🤣.
❤ the empathy towards hateful people was powerful.
Loved Trevor's reaction to the earrings...smile
He's African, the men of a lot of tribes wear earrings.
The grandmother would be proud! 🤗
Yall leftist dont understand how ignorant and racist yall sound😂 stereotypical af
I’m an African living in Africa. Please stop describing us using tribal connotations. It’s extremely ignorant of how africa really is
I’m glad I watched that. I found him jarring for a split second, but wanted to be his best friend by the end. 🥰
And I love the earring on Trevor!
This person uses they them pronouns:)
R Owens If referring to Jacob, use they, their, them pronouns
@@sebastianboeddinghaus3505 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦♂️
John Reddy ?
A Fury Thats actually really true about the pronouns, as long as you're addressing people kindly and with respect it should be all good
Gender norms are mostly cultural constructs they help people "categorize" other people which is why some get uncomfortable when the categories get blurred
#woke
They don’t know how to handle someone who doesn’t give a shit
@@Jordan-ob7nz aaahhahaha just have a little boy who likes to wear sparkly jewellery and spiderman ties with a leopard print hat😁take that gender norms
yes, we feel the need to categorize so that we can decide in a flash how we should interact with someone, based on our preconceived biases. it is a base human instinct that has been commandeered by the powers-that-be to divide and conquer us for eons. if we were not conditioned to judge the content of a person by their appearence, this would just be a guy with long hair and make-up in a dress, ho-hum, so what. when there is a female in exactly the same fashion, no one thinks twice. if he sat there in a suit and tie with short hair and only tv make-up, no one would think twice. he makes us uncomfortable because he makes us think twice. twice about how to interact with him, how to treat him.
this just really shows how strong discrimination still is. we need to know if we are dealing with male/female, young/old, black/white, etc. because we treat each group differently, some better, some worse. it reminds me how some white people get super offended when they accidentally treat a black person like they would a white person, because they thought the black person was white on the phone for example. i have seen this happen in several scenarios and it is always mind-blowing how the white person is clearly pizzed off that they have been 'tricked'.
@jibjones123 Some studies have found that trans brains match those of their opposite biological gender and it could be because of something happening during the pregnancy. There is science behind transgenderism. Look it up.
As soon as I Trevor out that earring on my immediate thought was that he looked so traditional
"Reclaiming my childhood for myself" I almost cried at those words. So powerful.
U Westerners are crazy and nut
@@victorslyvester8977 LOL NON-BINARY IDENTITIES ARE FOUND ACROSS ALL CULTURES.
LOOK IT UP, BITCH.
Man, I love Trevor! He makes his interviews so interesting and so smooth even when the topics are hard to discuss.
Trevor is very gifted in
Bruhdark humouristhebest an honest question tho: how do you cure a gay, transgender or transsexual person?
@@sethmarshal5518 send him to a psychiatric hospital. Theres the answer to your sarcastic and smug question
Bruhdark humouristhebest it was an honest question actually! You seem really angry. Wrong answer tho
@@ImagineWagonss of course. All the psychiatric hospitals you sent them to send them back and determined there's nothing wrong with them, that's why you keep seeing them. Why is it so hard for you people to understand trans is not an illness? I don't think you truly believe that, I think you say it just because you think it triggers the libs, when all it does is advertising how stupid you are on the internet.
04:36 I'm just like "Darling, you're trauma is showing" xD
Trevor is always such a good host when he interviews people. I love how you can tell he actually reads the books of people he brings on the show, not just questions from cue cards that his staff hands him. He's always 100% engaged, and he lets them answer the questions instead of interrupting them to try and press his own ideas or turn everything into a joke.
I approve of the notion of addressing the conversation with acceptance, respect and humor. I don't want people to feel scared of asking me about asexuality, or to feel discouraged from asking about those questions. And I hate the idea of conversations being shut down before they even begin because it feels so dangerous on either side to broach the topic at all. I've always thought conversations had with good intent and an open mindset are far more productive and insightful than those that feel like a verbal jenga tower.
Ayyyyy an asexual in the wild? Hey there! High five from my bi self.
@@oof-rr5nf °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
Love you Jacob! I met them years ago at an advocacy conference and knew they were destined for greatness. So proud of you!
Y’all , proud of y’all
I absolutely LOVE how he handles hate. True love
I cannot deal with a beard and lipstick😬😳
Ok, yes I can, I got used to it pretty quickly while watching this😀
ahaaaaa
👍🏿
👏👏we love personal growth!!👏👏
Yeah it pretty weird
well for me i cannot deal a nice woman cloth and hairbody
Wow Trevor, wearing the earings was powerful. For me it validates his message but also opens up another perspective simultaneously.
In past centuries (think the 16 century, for example), men wore puffed sleeves, lace cuffs, tights, and had long hair and wore makeup. Our current cultural norms are fairly recent.
They wore wigs, and makeup was generally used to cover up scar tissue from previous skin conditions (think Michael Jackson). This was usually only for nobles, royalty, and upperclassmen. But based on today’s standards they would be regarded as feminine even though they weren’t out right dresses.
You discribed everything prince used to wear.
Dan Pierce and he was regarded as very feminine (Dave Chapelle’s skit for example)
@@prod.unheard5170 True but I was making a funny quip about prince wearing things like that. But back then prince was looking good. And he didnt have to try and be manly to be manly. The man makes the clothes not the clothes make the man. I personally believe that if I saw Dave Bautista in a cocktail dress and heels and a wig I would be one very impressed. And second intimated. It doesnt matter what you wear it matters who you are and how you wear it.
@@prod.unheard5170 Also I would like to point out prince got more tail wearing what he did than me and you both ever will.
The reason Trevor stands out from the hordes of late night show hosts is that despite being liberal I rarely see non white, non cis guests and there's few conversations about the fact that the reason most people are biased against women and still like the standard issue white dude as is evident in polls and don't think anything is wrong with that. Trevor is the only person truly being the kind of host you can trust. I like Colbert and Seth but like I said they are still not touching these topics when it's this close to the election. And Maher some of his points are valid but he does nothing but shame people and doesn't ever see anything wrong with it. To use a popular term Trevor is truly WOKE.
Seth and Stephen are constrained by their mainstream networks and the legacy of the shows they're hosting. They're basically limited to actors, singers, and a few politicians.
Trevor brings this element of an outsider looking at America while being a part of it. I came here as a teen and remember thinking about the same things with many of the observations he mentioned in his between the scene talks, about how weird some American practices are.
No he is the same as all of them, just because his exterior is different doesn’t mean his interior is. You are sheep if you think he different from any of these late night guys.
Mhm, if you haven't checked out Samantha Bee and John Oliver def watch them too
I at least feel the same type of trust in them.
Maher is a troll, always has been. Watch his very old interview w/ Camille Paglia basically dismissing all accusations of "date rape" as women being drama queens. His gender views & humour are still pretty S1 of Mad Men. For one thing.
I love how comfortable Trevor is!!!!
This is one of the most fun and feel good interviews of all time.
I LOOK HOT IN MENS SUIT AND LIKE WHY ARE MENS CLOTHING BETTER MADE AND CHEAPER THEN WOMENS? FOR REAL PEOPLE LOOK INTO IT!
Rosemary Williams I also find men’s clothes to be more comfortable for me personally. Also, no one looks bad in a tux. _No one._
For real!
The first thing I though about when Trevor put on the earrings: African Roots...
Alicia Leelee I thought: how they do bring out his roots (because i read the comments before.) also, if you look at paintings from the 16th century you will see that some men wore pearl earrings (such beautiful earrings!) and it actually looks very cool. (i think it was one of Elizabeth’s (the I.) s statesman

Palace of Brilliance www.theafricangourmet.com/2016/11/history-of-earrings.html
It's so ridiculous how triggered people get by something as banal as someone wearing clothes they're "not supposed to".
This shit is on TV. It affects our culture, which is clearly in its last stages.
@@ah2451 hopefully "your" (lack of) culture is indeed in it's last stages. Thank god.
@@ah2451 Can't wait until your culture dies off
It’s AMAZINGGGG
They have repressed feelings 😔
You know what's fabulous is that you can tell Trevor is at least somewhat uncomfortable putting on the earrings, but he did it anyway, and he stood in his power as a human being and in so doing he threw open a door for the millions of people watching him. That's pretty great.
Most of the comments here are just...just ignorant and hateful. Jacob is wonderful for having the courage to be themselves, whereas most people in this world choose to live a life of lies; claiming they're "pure," "honest," "patriotic" and "honorable souls."
It's those kind of people that are tearing the world apart, even as we speak. No one should be hated or punished for having the courage for being who they are, even if their lifestyles seem "immoral" to you. In my eyes; the only things that are "immoral" are racism, sexism, child abuse, bullying, war, greed, selfishness, and using religions like Christianity to bully people into doing what they say.
If you live a life where you inspire others to be themselves, to be good people, to be loving/kind/generous and/or respectful to others and if you dedicate yourself to making this a better world so that EVERYONE can be prosperous...you are people worth honoring. But if you choose to live a life where you hate others for little reason, a life where you wish death upon those others without reason or cling to the lies of evil people; it is YOU who are the real scum...not individuals like Jacob
no
This is awesome! And funny! Also Trevor looks good with those earrings!
I love that Trevor put on the earrings, he looks great!! And as an African as well, he looks very South African Tribal for sure 😂 but I love that too ❤️❤️
I am jealous. I am inspired.
So brave to face this world. 🤗
Gwendolyn Williams No. I'm an African who's parents are traditional. Men wear earrings that look EXACTLY like that
@Gwendolyn Williams agree. He is white as fuck
@@EpicFandomVogue he is white🤫
Bruhdark humouristhebest I'm talking about Trevor Noah, not the guest.
I’m legit shook with how beautiful Trevor is. Intelligent, understanding and caring. Just a wonderful human being.
He really does look good with those rad earrings on. In India too, wearing earrings and studs and surma or mehendi is pretty traditional for men and they do look more masculine with those to an Indian eye. I guess gender is all about cultural interpretation.
Don't know why but Trevors lips got 10 times prettier when he put on those earrings
Such a great interview, the comments at 4:40 really opened my eyes as to how those who hate project their insecurities to others
Ur fuckin dumb😂😂😂 pls tell me ur not this ignorant
@@lizc9820 what trauma, tell me pls, inwanna see what ur gonna say next
Tami L. There’s no scientific evidence for gender induced trauma. Get out of here!! 😂😂😂😂 thats something he pulled out of his arse!
Trevor is a brilliant interviewer ! He researches his guests well and genuinely tries to understand their perspective !
Gosh I wonder how many books he had to read just since starting at the Daily show !
Love it
I love how trevor brought up how in different cultures gender "signifiers" change. Egyptian men wore eye liner, british men wore wigs, irish scottish wore kilts (modern days skorts) horseman wore heels and leggings, and knee high boots. Its all the same.....we are all the same. We should be able to be naked in front of the world with no shame. We should be focusing on our morals so that we dont fear rape or ridicule from any gender. I want to live in a society where a man can use the bathroom right next to me with out fear. Without fear....that should be our focus. Not the clothes not the bathroom but the morals. That as a society we dont need to rape, steal, stare at our brothers. Once we take that shame away, fear will go away. Love will fill the gaps. The commandments will shine thru naturally.
Trevor is such a good interviewer
Edit: My best look, traffic stopping, is was a three piece suit and stilettos. One of the best nights of my life.
jacob is very true about just trying out clothes you never thought you would wear. we can not deny the power we gain from fashion and how we carry ourselves in it!
So happy for him! Been following him for awhile and he's really funny and genuine. He deserves every bit of success.
Hahaha how does Trevor know clip on earrings give you headaches :P
The same way everyone else knows, probabbly? I mean... have you never tried clip on earrings on?
Exactly
A female in his life made that comment before, im sure.
@@thexnewxnephilim_1301 Why?
He gay
From their wiki "Tobia is genderqueer and uses the singular they pronoun." For you all you commenters asking.
Checked their Twitter, didn't list their pronouns lol wtf.
But their website's bio made it clear that they use they/them pronouns.
Is it "they is" or "they are" when talking about just one person?
@@stanleycooper2037 'They are' for singular they.
@Juana Torres I suggest you brush up on your biology and birth statistics. You might be amazed at how often your God makes a muddle of the entire exterior sex characteristics and interior reproductive organs situation, lol!! And besides, why do you care? How does it affect YOU? It doesn't. Stop trying to tell other people who and what and how they should be because who are YOU to do so? Plus, doesn't your God have sayings in that book about not judging lest ye be judged and how your God is THE judge and you aren't supposed to be trying to roll up on His job and plus God gave you ONE job, ONE, JUST ONE--love one another. So, check yourself before you wreck yourself, you sinning with your thoughts and in your heart and in your message. Step back, love and let God.
@@JustTheTruth-Please You've got to love how Juana goes on a giant hateful tirade against trans folks and never makes the connection that the biggest reason trans people have such high suicide risk is because of the harsh bigotry they face from people like her.
One of the best interview of THE DAILY SHOW .
.Jacob made some really strong points in support of transgenders.... and I must say that he is REALLY beautiful in that red dress😍
This is the future. No drugs or surgery required. Love your self, be kind to your self. Love each other, be kind to each other.
trevor definitely looks like an african prince or something 😂😂
Oh my god...Trevor looks so good in those earrings!
I love the bit about empathy and the trauma of being forced to conform from a young age 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i did too
Actually so glad I watched this.
From just a coverage image on my UA-cam stream, I originally thought it was going to somehow be satire?
When I clicked + realized it wasn't satire, I still (for some reason, within the first few seconds) found it somehow absurd / ridiculous.
But by the end, especially with Trevor's accurate statement about how in some cultures, there would be nothing "gender-threatening" about earrings, at all....
I just thought: awesome! What a great show. :)
And the line about "your trauma is showing" = powerful. This was a solid interview. Kudos to Trev + staff, for this! x 🔥
I really enjoyed this interview . I am a gay man ( and dislike the label) I’m a man who loves men and honestly for a time I felt uncomfortable and embarrassed at gay pride marches all gays were lumped together just like all blacks are not Afro American there is a diversity within the culture. Drag is drag be it a white lab coat, policemen’s outfit , cowboy or a Donna Summers look alike . The androgynous drag queens I referred to as Shock sheena and found many of the shock sheena’s did it for the shock factor and a form of comedy and income and an art form . Instead of being embarrassed I came to love them and photographed them at my studio regularly . One of my closest friends drag name Connie Casserole lead the way making it an art form all of its own .I never felt compelled to dress in women’s clothing or a 3 piece suit I just disliked the labeling not the people. These gender benders are extremely brave people it takes balls to walk the streets of NYC let alone some Midwest little Creep town. It’s amazing how many Muzak songs we hear in the background of elevators tell the story of transgenders ie Lou Reed “ walk on the wild side “ the Kinks “ Lola “ and of course Multiple David Bowie songs.
Trevor you handled this interview with amazing grace . You are truly one of my favorite “talking info-heads “ . I hope someday to meet you.
im feel so sorry for u

I want to live in a world where men aren't afraid to be beautiful, because holy shit Trevor can slay with those earrings!
I personally dont think it's "trauma" i think it's confusion if you see something that you're NOT accustomed to you react with confusion and concern. That's a silly ass concept ..............for instance if i see someone crying i get concerned and ask them if they need help that's not trauma!!! If i see someone lying down on the sidewalk i wonder if that person should be there that's not trauma it's confusion!! I think we as a society have gotten too afraid to question the "abnormal" if MY normal is wearing red every single day and i see someone NOT wearing red i'd question their color choices. He's right in certain aspects but he's claiming that HIS point of view is the correct one and anyone else without his point of view is suffering or lacking. Which is insane.
But he was talking about people who are hateful and violent towards trans people, not some one who is just innocently confused. He specifically said people that straight up hate them.
That was lovely. And man, Trevor looks amazing with those earrings :D
Everyone in the society is free to be who and what ever they want to be.
To those be hateful and discriminative,imagine if you were being hated and discriminated for being yourself
He is not being himself. He has a dick. Dicks belong to males. He is a male.
do we discriminate against the hateful? turn their behavior toward others back on them? where does hate and intolerance end?

"Finally, he's connecting with his roots" 😂👏👏👏💞❤
"Reclaiming my childhood for myself" we ALL wish we could do that for our own reasons. Yes! So beautifully worded.
"No one has a simple gender. That's a silly idea!" Wow. I am in awe of this statement. I'm going to be thinking about that statement forever! Thank you!
Reading Turtle think about for 60 secs you should get it, and if you still haven’t figured it out then idk what to tell you.
EJ You’re confusing gender with sex! Sex and gender are two different things. While you’re right that there are two different sexes, as you’re originally born with either XX or XY chromosomes, gender is different, as gender is how your brain identifies. When someone has a disconnect from the gender they were assigned at birth, it’s called gender dysphoria. There currently is no known treatment for gender dysphoria other than the person making changes in their appearance to lessen their gender dysphoria. This is why people are transgender! Here are some credible scientific articles published on this subject, I recommend you read through these! www.britannica.com/science/gender-dysphoria sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2016/gender-lines-science-transgender-identity/
@EJ
I'm going to help you:
Chromosomes: biological sex
Social Identity: gender
@@bv0804 Your statement is incorrect..lets not confuse science with hipster attention seeking false wokeness
@@ah6169 Let's not confuse your stupidness with the fact that transgender people have always existed since the beginning of the human. And it's science that tells us that.
Thank you so much for giving this person a platform!!! It's so rare to see genderqueer folks on this type of show. I definitely have to get this book! The dislikes and some of the comments on this video are upsetting but that's why we need to listen to these voices, so that we learn and grow. You're an excellent ally, Trevor. And Jacob, you're a superstar!!!
Thanks for this. I was afraid to click. I laughed and learned!!! "Your trauma is showing."
BTW, dear Lord Trevor is gorgeous.
Atlanta?
So well-spoken, comfortable, and confident. I truly admire both of them.
I have been told my whole life that I should grow my hair, throw my shoulders back and wear dresses. None of those things are inside of me. As a straight woman whose appearance is widely considered "lesbian", I can't help but feel that gender specific looks is pigeonholing myself and all the youth of America. It shouldn't matter how you identify, as long as you are an individual and are true to yourself. Never conform to what others think you should be. Just be yourself. Screw everyone else.
Tami L. Your parents are smart and wise, they are looking after you. There’s nothing wrong with traditional womanhood and being an at home mom. Society has poisoned the minds of the young ones to believing this postmodernist gender nonsense that didn’t exists 50 years ago.
He has better facial hair than me ☹️
Martian Mellon his real voice is probably pretty deep too 😂😂
Stop being a soyboy
*she lol
kidcartoon25 yeah a she named Jacob lmao. Ppl are fucking crazy
@@kidcartoon25 can she give birth? I don't think so🤔..he
That is so beautiful! Yes, we should consider their trauma as a part of their reaction.
Also, those ear rings look awesome on Trevor!
Don't romanticize trauma. That is disgusting.
Excellent interview! I'm proud of you, Trevor.
It's really endearing that trevor wasn't bothered about wearing earrings, just that it might give him a headache
Need to find me a 3 price suit!
"Darling, your trauma is showing"
I LOVE TREVOR SO MUCH
Simply Thandi a man can only be beautiful with earrings and a dress??
If you romanticize mental illness and trauma , darling, your privilege is showing ♡
Some of us cisgender folks are actually quite comfortable in our skin and with our gender identity and don’t need to busy ourselves playing dress up and making careers out of convincing people that this an important issue that we all need to be thinking about. To be clear I don’t believe anybody should be discriminated against nor do I harbor any disdain for people who aren’t having the same experience that I am as a human being. It’s just that when I hear ideas being espoused such as the notion that an ideal world would be one where we all try on different gender identities on a whim like trying on different costumes I really can’t help but cringe. Maybe for some individuals, sure, but for most people this is nonsense. Most people I would say are quite comfortable with their gender identity and the constant promotion of the idea that we shouldn’t be is a real problem in my estimation.
Very similar to race: "why should I step outside my white identity. I'm totally comfortable with it. It's fine for you to have a different identity, but don't try and make me experience it directly."
Exactly 👏
I think you're fundamentally misunderstanding why it is so important to have these conversations. Because when you say "Why do we need to have these conversations. Why do we need to make a big deal out of it?" You're unconsciously invalidating and dismissing a lot of the violence and trauma gender nonconforming people go through. The lack of human rights, the lack of social support and security. The abuse, the trauma, the very life threatening situations we are constantly put it because people don't want to engage and deconstruct not just gender but how that expands to how we treat people. I'm sure for you it isn't a big deal. Because you've never had to make the conscious decision to present in a way you know is going to affect how people treat you for the rest of your life. But for the kids that received bullying and abuse. For the people we've lost to gender based violence. The deep scar that the aids epidemic left on our community. The fact that the average life expectancy for a trans black women in america is 35. It is important to talk and discus and be able to encourage people to engage in gender in a way that is not constantly weighted down by preconceived notions and expectations. But instead rooted in love and acceptance and kindness. Learning how to be kind and non judgemental to others starts with learning how to be that to ourselves.
Good for them! Well spoken and great message
I'm really fed up with this gender thing
Same.Every day they discover a new gender but can,t name other than man & woman
I think this new group of people are seeking attention and are definitely getting the attention they want.....Soon schools will be teaching this type of confusion... In my thoughts I feel this is classic demonic possession in my opinion... We need too think about where our, "Inner Thoughts", come from.... The only people that I believe would be confused about gender would be those born with both sexual genders...
Me too
gender has always been a thing. you live in gender norms, you don't have a problem with gender, you're just transphobic.
@@zdln507 Yeah two genders:Man & Woman
Why do you people always center yourselves in other people’s conversation.Nobody there mentioned anything about transgenders.It,ll be great if people like you accept that the world doesn’t revolve around trans people
Jacob, you go! Your idea of playing with it and your understanding that we ALL are fluid and a little different, is amazing. Thank-you!
TBH, Trevor DOES look awesome in those earrings. He rocks this look.
Such a beautiful interview !!
Very freaking cool segment!!
This is a really great interview. I love Jacob! They’re absolutely so free I love it!
Humanity deformation
BTW am African but never seen that point till now case in point maasai men wear jewelry and I don't see gay I see man good thought
@@demianoble6061 I agree, in our "shameful/illegal to be gay" societies, most married men and some with kids even.....are usually gay!
Demia Willen I really believe the original commentary was stating that they have witnessed East African men from the Massai tribe wearing earrings and did not think any less of them as men or associated an accessory to their sexuality. You westerners always want to twist things into what they’re not 🙄
@@dianaholoma8143 I was thinking the same.
Mwaniki Mwaniki how
Thank you, Trevor Noah, for being such an amazing human! This was a great interview.
jacob tobia is an absolute fucking icon, i appreciate them so much
Jacob I applaud you! You're gorgeous and witty and strong. I love it when people "step into their very own self" without living up to societies conventions.
Okay, just know that I have no clue who this person is... But does he always look like that?
It is honestly a bit distracting... Not in a bad way, just because I'm not used to it.
I like the word "gender-chill" though! I think that is a good description of what we should want.
Yeah, you can't take your eyes off of him, right?
I love that. :D
@@starcherry6814 I asked if he always looks like that ;) Not why :)
Yes he does, a bold red lip and a five o clock shadow is his signature look.
@@starcherry6814 What about the fabulous dress?
its the epitome of disgusting.
The end bit is a perfect illustration of the fact that gender identities and expression are a product of one's culture. As other's have pointed out time also plays a huge factor. I've used the 80s myself as an example of a time when people regularly colored outside the lines of expression, and it wasn't a huge deal.
Love this episode.. this is a great eye opener
