I hate the idea that getting your period is ‘becoming a woman’. I was 11 years old when I got mine 😭 a literal child. And it just seems like they think becoming a woman is about your ability to reproduce and have children.
Same! I got mine literally a month after I turned 10- and everyone was like “awww you have become a woman!” Ma’am I am literally a child 😀
I was 12, it was my brothers birthday. I cried, all my mom said was "you know where the stuff is" a d left. I cried more.
literally same 😭 i was not a woman at 11
Yeah, why do we say that? That's a really creepy thing to say.
It's literally the excuse MAPs give for having those disgusting thoughts about children.
Noah: "I'm not stupid"
Also noah: 🎶I'm stupid🎶
i was thinking the same thing lmaoo
I also noticed that lmao!!
It honestly felt like a phun 😅✌️
I-
That's literally what I was thinking in that moment when he said that lol
The period aisle is way more straightforward than feminine hygiene. I never realized it before. The word period just bothers society..
Yeah, also wth are they also called "sanitary products". I mean that could literally apply to so many things lol. Vague and stigmatising label all around.
It makes as much sense as the labelling on any other supermarket aisle, they list 2 or 3 products that are on that aisle and anything else there you just have to guess and hope it makes some vague sense, which it often doesn't. Lemon juice in the bakery aisle rather than the juice aisle? Soy sauce in the international aisle rather than the sauce aisle?
Plus feminine hygiene products are more than just period products, what about wet wipes PH balanced to a vagina, or soap free body wash also PH balanced to a vagina for people with sensitive skin who can't use other products? How about we just call them "personal hygiene products" and put them all in a personal hygiene aisle with the other personal hygiene products so you know where to look for all things in that category?
I’ve never seen an aisle of just period products though. Bathroom productions? I don’t know
or like “ menstruation isle” literally anything but that is so much better lmao
Yeah like, just call it “hygiene” or “period” isle. I don’t get it.
As a cis woman, I very much appreciate hearing what this is like from your point of view. And I love your new song btw lol.
@Anna i didnt know that lol
why the heck are there bots here? well, 3 bots just bc of a link
@Anna stopppppp
@Anna wtf
I'd like to point out at the moment of writing this, Pide Tods, you have 666 likes on your comment, and I'd like it too, but I'd break that awesome.... So, please accept this comment as your like 😉
‘Feminine Hygiene’ sounds exactly like what JK Rowling would call the period isle.

How else would you call products that are for female bodies?
She wouldnt be wrong. He is a trans man but he still has a female body otherwise he wouldnt get periods. Im sorry but its facts.
"most transmascs not on testosterone will get their period"
me, a pre-T transmasc who hasnt had a period in several months: *i am ten parallel universes ahead of you*
I wish I were in the same universe lol
hey bud I know that must feel like a nice thing, but I think you might need to get your hormones checked. my ex didn’t get their period for several months and it turns out they had a (benign) pituitary tumor that was messing with their hormones. that, or you might not be getting enough nutrition and your body has stopped being capable of getting a period, which is also very hard on your organs and overall health over a long period of time. either way I would strongly suggest getting that checked out.
Lol, I'm a cis gender girl and lst year I didnt get my period for 5 months and when it did come it stayed for 4 weeks............ in 15🤚🏽☠
did you sell it on dark web? is that how you got rid of it lol
As there are a few people here gloating about not getting periods regular I feel I got to point out that it’s very important that you get that checked out. I’ve had irregular periods all my life and I was eventually diagnosed with PCOS. I haven’t had a period in 2-3 years because I gained weight which makes the symptoms worse. I love that I don’t get my period but soon if it doesn’t come back I’ll be going on medication to force a period because you can actually develop cancer if you don’t have a period at least every 3 months when you have PCOS. So it’s important you investigate what the issues are especially if you want to take testosterone as I don’t know if that’s something you can do if you have PCOS. Reason being that if you have PCOS you actually have higher testosterone levels than you should and sadly our bodies do not like that and I presume that it’s harmful to us. You’d have to do your own research to find out but please do look into it 🙏
I just realized that now every time you say “stupid” you can do a sneaky plug of your song
“Oh, it’s because you’re becoming a woman” *flashblacks*
Hmnnnn same
Makes me feel so bad lol
Oh man the horror of that happening to me at the time. I just remember dissociating and thinking “I don’t want this”. Also even more embarrassing is calling everyone in the family and letting them know.
lol yeah when he said that I instantly remembered all the times my mom said that to me, luckily she's stopped saying that after I came out, but just remembering those times still makes me very uncomfortable
Same tho I'm Non-Binary and out to close family and my mother got me a gift in a gift bag that said "you grow girl" and i wanted to shoot her and hide in my room 😂
Personally I stuffed toilet paper in my underwear for like a year until I bled through and my mom found out. I don't know how long I was thinking that was gonna work out for me. Before that I was convinced I was never gonna get it, or hit puberty, so when the girls in my grade got a pamphlet about periods in the mail I denied getting one when my classmates were talking about it. Also refused to wear bras until I was 14 and instead wore a tight tank top underneath, or a scarf, or hoodies to hide my chest. Had no idea I was trans because I didn't know trans men existed and when I found out they did I was immediately in denial.
omg i also refused to wear bras
@@NOAHFINNCE I was like "if I don't wear one they don't exist." 😅
Relate 100% with the toilet paper.
@@mfanwelikeit3760 same 😭
@@wnykanskabsi You are 100% valid and worthy as a human. It is totally ok to be uncertain and have questions about your experiences. It is also never too late to figure out how you identify. Honor what feels right to you. I believe in you.
All my mom says “it’s something every woman goes through” and all that and it makes me so uncomfortable because even though I’ve came out to her she basically said “it’s a phase” in different words so she still refers to me as she/her and like UGHHHH
misgendering sucks alot (edit: i'm not trans but i'm an ally and my best friend gets misgendered wayyyy too much)
That is literally my mom-
IKR
BRO LITERALLY SAME
AGH SAME MINE STILL REFERS TO ME AS "daughter"
It's so good to see discussion on this. I was born female. I am nearly 50 years old and I started periods at 10 years old. I hated it. And there was no place like this for discussion back then, nowhere to discuss your body changing and being told you need to start behaving like a young lady and stop being a "tomboy". I am so very pleased that there is more information out there now for young people about gender and gender identity. I am only just now realising that whilst my "equipment" is female, it does not define my entire gender identity. I am happy to now say "no I don't feel 100% female" I feel that I am more gender neutral now and am happy with this. So much love to you Noah and to all of you out there what ever your gender, identity, sexuality etc. Embrace your own way and live it to the full...coz believe me 50 comes round bloody quick
I hope your doing well

Holy shite I'm 5 months in and didn't know I could still get prego so this video is a *literal* life saver for me.🤯 I'd prefer dying than going through pregnancy.💀
FR, the idea of getting pregnant or going in to get an abortion sounds so terrible as a trans man myself, trans men who do such are braver than the troops 💀
I think your dr should have explained that to you. Maybe should have an appointment to discuss all the other things related to transition so you know.
Damn, the doctors don't tell you that? That's messed up.
I’m in the process of starting with T and my doctor always reminds me that it would be impossible for me to have children in a future due to hormones and I know that’s not true because I’ve seen multiple cases of trans men getting pregnant whether in purpose or by accident and somehow this is a topic most doctors don’t know about (?
@@yellowjay7443 exactly, my doctor didn't know that injections could be taken subcutaneously before my friend suggested it (we have the same doc). Medecine is something that gets updated daily, but very few practitioners take the time to update their knowledge.
No but people really asked you on your music video if you still get your period😭

How is it poor
I was getting Jam at the store a few months ago and a 17-19 year old looking guy was grabbing tampons and there was a middle aged lady a few feet from him and she looked up and saw him then said, “don’t buy her tampons, buy her a box of chocolates or something” the lady was assuming he was buying tampons for his “girlfriend” and then he turned around, looked her dead in the eyes and said. “I’m trans...” and the lady turned red and rushed out the isle and I was cackling-
The woman is also creepy. My social anxiety could never with some random woman just examining what I'm buying.
Also, what if the pads were for his mom or sister.
And even if he was buying them for someone else, imagine if you sent someone out to get you some tampons and they bring back flowers I would hit them with it, right in the patriarchy
@@yarahowell5646 yea wtf like is the person just supposed to bleed everywhere but be happy because they got a box chocolate instead?!😂 also chocolate make cramps worse anyways, people just eat it if they get the craving
So.. even if he was buying them for a girlfriend, was he supposed to just let her bleed everywhere?
Like.. don't buy her tampons?
Why she cares about wath strangers r buying?!
My man really said: " don't buy her tampons let her bleed everywhere, buy her chocolate! :) "
A lot of women ask their boyfriends to buy them tampons so people would probably assume that
Yeah, my dad gets them for me,, I even made him buy me one of those cups. He’s also the one who restocks the drawer with pads and tampons
@@livemoller792 He sounds like a great dad.
@@kryptospore1 I think he is! He always tries, and we have worked through a lot of stuff. We are good now :)
@@livemoller792 That's wonderful to hear, I wish the best for both of you.
Thats cool, my dad calls me a pig because i have a period
IMPORTANT PSA: A lot of people who have very painful periods actually have endometriosis! If you have very painful periods it is a good idea to bring this up with a doctor! It might not be endometriosis, but it is very underdiagnosed because a lot of people think it's just normal to have so much pain. For something that can be potentially serious (causing internal scarring or fertility loss), it is surprisingly common in people with uteruses. So just be aware! Peace ✌🏼
Definitely important information! Trans men often have higher rates of both endometriosis and PCOS, with about 40% of trans men with such conditions. It's definitely important to visit a doctor if you experience extreme pain during periods, very heavy or light cycles, or irregular cycles in general. Also happy trans day of visibility!
That is a very good message to spread! Thank you for your service.
I actually have a very entertaining and educational video I found covering the subject. th-cam.com/video/zGO7dfFLyMo/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, I was scrolling to see if anyone had brought this up.
I most likely have it cause I almost pass out, will throw up, will buckle in pain and scream lmao. But my gyn said ✨have you tried taking advil✨ so yknow. Ive ignored it. And ive taken the pill (without estrogen bc euw) for almost two years and I never want to stop bc I refuse to be in that much pain again😌 if I can take it with testosterone I WILL do that. It ruined my life. Even with surgery they reccomended the pill. Its such a shitty thing to have
I'm a cis woman but that "you're a woman now" line when girls get their period is the worst and nobody should say it imo. I was 10 and I felt so overwhelmed bc I didn't want to grow up at all and felt like that meant my whole life was going to change now and everything would be different. I suppose it's fine if you're older for the first one but yeah don't say that to any under 14 year old, it's so weird
I agree. For some reason I really don't like being called a woman. I'm fine with female.... just not woman. It's weird
@@justanotherpotato5523 i'm the same, "girl" is fine but "woman" makes me feel so uncomfortable and i know it's due to this creepy "you're a woman now" shit they did.
Lmao I felt manly for some reason (I'm nonbinary aswell so I have no idea why lmfao)
@@justanotherpotato5523 I get that, but from a different point of view. I'm actually trans, a trans man, like women or woman isn't nearly as bad as being called female for me. I am male, to me I'm more or less a man with a hormonal imbalance starting in utero, leading to a genital defect, I am more predisposed to female stuff, but calling myself or being called female makes me way way more dysphoric than being called a woman.
People think it's okay because it's "scientific" but what determines sex is a lot more than genitalia or how you reproduce, and I have a lot more factors related to men in terms of smell, pheromones, oil, hormone levels, how I look, and how I feel. To me, in terms of identifying sex, that's more accurate. Sort of a variation of being male.
Now, I mean, I don't say I'm cis, I'm certainly trans and I've never been ashamed of being trans, but I'm not female. It feels so gut-wrenching when people say that. Like "female diseases" is okay in terms of like what I'm more at risk of, but even calling my genitals "female" is weird after having learned how very very very similar the two reproductive systems are, ig. To me, mine are male, but when through the wrong development, and it just feels wrong to be referred to as female, like someone referring to you using a random name. "Oh, your name's John? You look like a Hunter. I'm gonna call you Hunter." And then referring to your things as "Hunter's". Like, you know who they're talking about, and it makes sense, logically, but it feels gross and kinda like you're being mocked or betrayed. Not that you think Hunter's a bad name, just it's not really your name.
I dunno. But yeah, I get that feeling to a degree. For me, it really sucks, cause people LOVE to talk about how "you may be a man, but you're still female, your body is still female" and rub it in your face, and it's so gross and makes me very irritable when I normally try to stay calm, even when people wish me harm or insult me.
Although, also for me, calling myself a man or a woman for years, and even now, (only woman in reference to before I recognized my identity) it feels weird. That word brings to mind business suits and adult stuff, and I'm over here like, hA no. I usually say "guy" a lot in placement, and girl/women in placement of female identifying people. I generally prefer using AFAB or AMAB though tbh.
I agree, I highly dislike being called a woman, or when my dad says something like 'womrn shouldn't sit like that's😑
Periods just plain suck period. Anyone else thinking how mature Noah is becoming? Not just cuz he can say the word period without grimacing but actually talking about menstruating, products, birth control, pregnancy, the fact that this topic can and WILL help people .... so proud
I'm 25, almost 26, and I still use shark metaphors to refer to periods 99 percent of the time. He's younger than me and more mature in every way lol.
@@3v1l73ddy I mean, "shark week" will never not be funny though
@@KattReen I take it even further, PMD is "Shark Depression" and whenever I talk about shark week it literally just turns into a series of metaphors haha.
I call it the Ovarian War, since I'm trans and like, it usually feels like a war with my uterus and ovaries. Mostly the former, but it sounds cooler to say "Ovarian War". Plus I just call period stuff the "remnants of the Ovarian War" like it's the blood of my enemies or something. Much more fun for me, personally, and gets a chuckle out of people around me.
This made me super happy, cause mine started the other day, and it's been an incredibly dysphoric couple of days, and this just made me feel better.
Sndhdjdbddhdbd when my p- word started I had a full on mental breakdown like my mom was all excited and happy and I'm just sitting there hyperventilating
Yo same my mom was like “omg you’re becoming a w-man” and I just stood there crying 😃

I remember my sisters being like "Yeah I looked forward to my period" and I HATED the idea-
when I got mine I wanted to hide in a hole-
I was so unamused by it, like I was full on ANNOYED.
@@jamie4123 same
When I started my period for the first time I said to my mom "I'm becoming a woman" (I'm a trans guy now) , and I get dysphoria when I'm on my period it sucks
@@MarsGraal yeah it definitely sucks
I had to laugh when he said “bleeding pee” instead of “peeing blood”
this comment section feels so safe. i’ve always said i’m non-binary and i hate my periods but they’re just plain annoying to deal with. i’m still figuring myself out tho and learning more abt gender and different sexualities. it’s really amazing how supportive different communities can be
sry this was a really random paragraph but if u’re reading this i hope u have a good day/night
Your profile pic is cute.
@@samuelforesta ow thank u very much :3
I'm non binary and 12 still no period to be seen 💃💃💃
I’m at my friends house, when I got the notification I yelled “AHH Noah!”... she was really confused.
😂😂😂😂
same
As an 18yr old trans guy I appreciate this, thank you and love ya.
I really appreciated what you said about how deciding to go on contraceptives is not always super straightforward; I am a cis woman who identifies as lesbian and I am currently on two forms of birth control becasue I have such horrible ovarian cysts. I really wish birth control/contraceptives were also rebranded as like "menstrual regulation" or "ovulation prevention" because my medicine is basically just "cyst control" and it is unlikely (though never impossible) that I will be doing any kind of birthing
bruh why is everyone telling you to cut your hair? it looks super cute ♡
Ikr? Haha
Same!
Yeah she looks like Farrah Fawcett
@@bradleywashington5105 He*
Yeah definitely ✌️
im 18 and i wont lie, ive never bought period products for myself cuz its awkward lmao thanks mom
The manifesting male puberty thing is so relatable, it was kinda funny, part of me was upset that I didn't immediately start male puberty after I came out. Obviously I didn't actually think I would but it was still disheartening
about pads in the mensroom, when i still got my period and went out in public i would have a little bag with the products i needed and a small plastic bag to put my pads in. then i could just throw them away either when i got home or in a bin somewhere on the way. it felt more discreet and didnt feel as uncomfortable for me!
My bio-mom forced me to go in and buy pads for myself after I started mine because, according to her, I needed to get used to it. It was incredibly uncomfortable and stressful. The second time I needed some, she made me do it again and lo and behold, a guy from my school was working the cash register that day. Wonderful.
I hate that this was an issue for you back then! If any of my friends who have periods asked me to buy them for whatever reason I would have no issue, hate stigmas!
Thanks for this video! I’m 2.5 months on t and hearing that other trans guys have been struggling with similar things really helps.
For predictable reasons I’m very much not in the headspace to watch this video at the moment but thank you for making it, it’s simple existence makes me feel less alone and weird and it is an important topic.
Advice for trans mascs who still get their period: get a menstrual cup. A lot of the time you can order one online, so no going into the shops for tampons, and you'll never need tampons again. You have to empty it only about 2-3 times a day, so you don't have to think about your period too much. This way it's also a lot easier to go into public bathrooms, because you won't need a bin for period products. If you do need to empty it while you're in there, it's possible to just wipe it down with some toilet paper.
I have one and I haven't had to buy tampons in over a year 😁
Actually, that's good advice for nearly everyone of any gender who gets periods. I'm a cis woman and I loved mine. I only stopped using it when I reached menopause.
It doesn't work for everybody tho. If you've got heavy flow and not much space down there you're fucked. :(
8:04 “No we are not talking about Greta Thunberg” was iconic
I sat there laughing for a while because I was imagining her giving out tampons and cups and stuff to trans mascs and saying weird stuff like ‘for your man blood’
@@ragingqueer9363 FOR MY MAN BLOOD, GIMMY (masculine non binary person here)
It's so weird, I know that having a period is nothing shameful but society is like never talking about it so here I am "stealing" my mother's pads even though she knows I have my period for a couple of years now... Also literally before this vid I rewatched this episode of "Anne with an E" from Netflix where Anne gets her period for the first time and the others are like "oh, you're becoming a woman" and it's just so awkward
i fucking hate everything about that association: "you're a woman now" saying this shit to literal children. it is so creepy and has made me so uncomfortable.
I’m a trans guy and I have been taking “the pill” for almost a year. I haven’t had any side effects, it really saved me
whenever i get period cramps it feels like my insides are dying-
edit: you guys i’m ok i promise i was exaggerating i just get cramps :)
I love your pfp🤭
@@julianna1919 thank you lmaooo
Go to the DOCTOR!!! that shouldn't happen
isn't that what's actually happening?
that really shouldn’t be the case. if you can, i’d recommend going to a doctor. your periods shouldn’t be painful
I love how open you are and how trusting you are of us with your experience. It creates the opportunity for these kind of discussions and makes people a little more comfortable with opening up about these things.
when i got my first period my and i told my mom she never said “that means you turning into a woman”
the reason why is because she doesn’t want her kids to feel uncomfortable if thats not how they feel
as for me im now a trans guy
and periods suck ☺️
i love your mum
My mom didn't say that yet almost everyone else in my life did so I hated it so much, as an closeted non binary, and an 11 year old. It made me so upset when I got my period, I absolutely despised it and still do.
me: constantly refreshes page to be early
*but then proceeds to be 2 minutes late..*
As a cis male, I really appreciate this video! It's such an uncomfortable topic, but you've potentially helped so many people avoid awkward situations and conversations in the future!

I remember someone explaining periods to me as a kid and just flat out not believing them. I also though I would not ever hit puberty 🙄
Omg same! I was like 10 and thought it was a joke or prank until I found out it was real at school. I thought it was a one time thing so when people said "time of the month" I was like uhh... what?
@@justanotherpotato5523 same I got really freaked out
@@justanotherpotato5523 I remember it vividly
@@justanotherpotato5523 lmao I didn't think it was a one time thing but I did think that periods were like a temporary thing that stopped after puberty 💀 if only...
One of the major supermarket chains in Australia has recently changed the Feminine Hygiene section to Period Products so there is progress
Happy trans day of visibility 🏳️⚧️
Gonna be honest that cold open gave me whiplash lmao-
(New setup looks great btw! The vibes are it!)
god I relate so hard to the fact that you’ve never shopped for pads/tampons. I’m 25 and to this day have yet to go into the shop to buy pads. my dysphoria around my period is definitely the most intense and I didn’t even say the word “period” until I was 18. I still hate saying it lol. anyway I appreciate you talking about this, it normalizes it for trans people like me who have terrible dysphoria around this topic.
I am a cis women and I actually never bought period stuff, I always had my dad buy them for me and honestly I love him so much for doing that because that’s probably really awkward for a man in his mid 40s
ayy specific kind of painkiller for periods cause they're so painful u pass out and projectile vomit across ur room when u try to get out of bed gang
Where I live I think that "feminine hygiene" also contains waxing and shaving products, so they can't really call that the period aisle but still, calling shaving "hygiene" is a bit out of place in my opinion
I feel like there should be a separate isle just called the “shaving needs” isle. I feel like the menstrual isle should just be that.
I have a 15 year old daughter for years I thought she was trans. I'm very open and really big on my children being whoever they are. However, I wanted her to decide. Now at 15 shes still not sure completely who she is but has decided for now atleast her pronouns are whatever uthink they are. When she started her period it was devastating she actually just asked me about getting a binder. Money is bad right now but I am getting her one. I'm finding it alot of help watching channels like Noah's because I'm 36 I need to know what this generation knows and feels. So thank u Noah
It’s so great that you’re talking about this, as uncomfortable as it is to discuss. It never stopped for me and legit at that time (only a few years ago) there were TWO trans guys I managed to find online who actually talked about the issue!
I also thought I would never go through that puberty and never once bought or asked for products 😂 I would definitely have been more comfortable using products from an explicitly trans friendly company though (I got some plain pads from a hospital once, they were monstrously chunky but made such a difference just cause it was plain and seemed more like a medical thing than ‘feminine product’)
He has single handedly cured my dysphoria-
Oh my god. We need bins in all bathrooms, that's not okay to expect from people. While periods themselves aren't dirty, carrying around anything soaked in menstrual blood in your pocket is not an acceptable or reasonable thing to ask of people.
Dude, the whole "convincing yourself it just won't happen" thing is too real. I was also convinced I just wouldn't experience female puberty, to the point that when it started, I was still in denial. Dog bless testosterone therapy.
That sponsor segway was SMOOTH!!!
“I’m bleeding pee”
You sure it’s not the opposite dude ?
LMAO
I cried so much when I got my first period at the age of 11. I knew exactly what it was and it felt as if my life was now destroyed. Having periods and a womb has always felt so wrong. And having endometriosis onto of it just made it 100 times worse. I had a hysterectomy at the age of 26 and it was the most freeing thing I have done in my life. My body felt so much more my own.
My husband used to shop for my period products and now he does for our daughter occasionally. Just say you're buying them for your sister or girlfriend lol.
My dad does the shopping in my family so he buys mine (I'm a cis girl) he's great and doesn't get weirded out or anything.
Same with my dad, my mum was always superweird about my period? Or anything puberty-related... so he always bought what I needed for my period, and he even bought bras for me when I wanted to start wearing bras! Never asked my mum.... i remember my first periode, and I was so embarrassed I hid the underwear.... that was when I learned my mum looked through ALL my stuff, including the boxes under my bed I used for storage, and in this case hiding my bloody underwear... she was so mad.... so yeah, always went to my dad. And also where I live menstrual products in stores are all located in the same aisle as all hygiene-products, like it's all in the same place? So no "feminine products" aisle? It's literally inbetween hairdye, shower soap and toothpaste 🤷🏽♀️... like I felt so uncomfortable buying that stuff, he bought for me up until I moved out actually...
@@KrisHe1 wow I'm sorry your mum was like that. You'd think that as a woman who menstruates/d she'd understand lol. I'm lucky that my mum is a doctor and actually explained to me how periods worked etc and was never weird about it.
She would actually ask me sometimes if I'd started my period yet lol, bc I got mine super late (I was like 15 and 3/4). I actually had an appointment to go see a gynaecologist to see what was wrong with me, which evidently jinxed it 😂. (after booking it I got my period so we had to cancel it)
My mum and I are quite comfortable around each other so when I did eventually get my first period she was actually in the bathroom at the same time as me and I excitedly showed her my bloody piece of toilet paper, while loudly exclaiming that I had started, and there was nothing wrong with my reproductive system after all 😂
Anyway I'm glad at least your dad was cool about it, I'm really grateful that neither of my parents are awkward about it. I even trained my dad and brother out of referring to pads as "ladies' things" lol, and just calling them what they are.
@@aceatlasska4343 yeah idk what was going on with my mum, but I did get it late too, like just around my 15th birthday probably? And I was in DENIAL that I would get it, and since I was around 15, and still hadn't gotten it, I kinda just thought it was my luck and it would never come... but nope... so I think my mum just assumed I'd had it for longer and me hiding bloody underwear was childish or something? Idk... she struggled with depression and anxiety during most my childhood years, so might have been a bad day for her, and finding my bloody underwear tipped her off the latter? But yeah luckily my dad is the one I can go to for everything no matter what... but when I was younger he had a job that meant he had to travel a lot? So he was gone like almost weekly, all around Europe... he even had an apartment in Denmark for quite some time... but that was cool cuz then I could take my friends there and just have a weekend away and enjoy Aarhus which is a super beautiful small city! And it's cheap to travel to Denmark from my country, as I live in southern Norway, so just a ferry ride down to Denmark, then drive a few hours to Aarhus. But yeah my mum has always been weird when it comes to me, no matter what. She has improved over the years where I've actually dared say against her, but meh... it's okay, i am grown now, I see how MH will mess with your mood and responses... but back then it was pretty shitty...
I know this stuff is uncomfortable to talk about but I really appreciate how open you are, it helps a lot of people. 💜
as a nb person who gets very bad dysmorphia when getting my period seeing trans/gender fluid/other nb ppl talking about periods really helps me see that it’s not as bad as my mind makes it to be and it’s part of my body and i need to learn to accept it
Typo *Dysphoria
Lmao I’m afab non binary and I feel that XD I used to just believe I would never get a period or grow a chest if I thought hard enough against it 😂 I was convinced 100% no joke. And when it finally did start I hid it from everyone. Like, complete “nope, this isn’t happening” I kind of have this mindset that if nobody but me observes something is happening in regards to my body. then it’s not happening? Like I’m okayish with it but when others are aware I get extremely uncomfortable. Like, I’m 22 and I run the water or wait until nobody is home before I open a pad 😂 and then I dispose of said products in my own personal garbage so no one sees. I just can’t stand the idea of others knowing
Me being 12 non binary I was born a "girl" and I haven't started my yk an people here be starting it at 10 and I'm like am I lucky
@@ashytashy yeah! I was lucky enough to be almost 16 when it started!
i know this is a late comment but i just want to thank you for talking about this. i'm a trans man who has been on testosterone for 10 months AND i have an IUD and i still get my periods. i know it sucks to talk about but it's really helpful to know that others are experiencing similar things
I freaking love your background. Your room is a vibe.
I'm 29 cis gendered female and I still feel awkward buying period products. I feel your pain at the prospect at it. Periods however suck if they're heavy or painful.
That's because society is weird. It's just a thing some people's bodies do but no, humans have to shame people for it. If you're a cis woman they tell you it's shameful, if you're a trans guy they tell you it's shameful. Nobody should be ashamed of their bodies
Ur hair looks really GOOD!
Being a autistic person having periods is just another level of stressful for me honestly wish I didn't have them as ik I don't want biological kids
There are medications that can stop periods actually.
Also, did you know that humans are one of the only mammals that get periods. All the other mammals just reabsorb the uterine lining. Like, where in evolution did we come up with the idea that bleeding from our genitals every month was a beneficial trait?
same
@@samuelforesta we should start genetically engineering humans that absorb their uterine lining instead.
@@samuelforesta which medication?
I cried for 2 whole days when I had my first period and told my mom I wanted to die so that was fun
I didn't realise it was a period and thought i may be dying ☻
Human Biology is stupid
Me too.
@@aliuros8552 SO DID I
Wow I’m sorry to hear the depo shot made things worse for you. I had the opposite reaction to it. I’ve been on it for years and I haven’t had a single period while on it in like 5 years, it’s been magical. I’m so thankful for it. I’ve saved so much money too since the shot is free with my insurance and I don’t have to buy tampons and pads anymore! Just don’t want other folks to be deterred by the depo shot after hearing your experience 😕. It’s definitely worth a shot (haha get it) to try it. It does make you emotional for maybe the first year but after several shots your body gets used to it and the hormonal and emotional effects are not even noticeable. And like I said, no period or bleeding whatsoever. It also works extremely well as actual birth control. I’ve had quite a bit of unprotected sex with a handful of male partners and I never got pregnant lol. Personally I alwaysf highly recommend it but everyone’s body is different
I kinda relate to Noah. I know it can help people, so I'll never rat on it, cause like, my stepmom used it for most her life and like never had a period, but I tried it, with it being basically my last hope for anything to stop my periods and mental breakdowns, and it, er...
(TW)
I got a 4 month long period and started planning out my suicide ugh. It wasn't as bad as my normal ones, so it felt more manageable, but it just kept going. My like vulva was so sore that it hurt to put my underwear back on and have the pads pressing against it again, and even it hurt to have normal underwear for a while after. I have Tommy Johns boxers, and those were nice I guess. They're soft, and I think I literally almost cried in relief.
I didn't even have any other bad side effects besides being more moody (most likely due to dysphoria and depression) and other more-likely-dysphoria-related things like that. Sucked ass though, it'd slow down, almost stop, and then get heavy again. It just never ended.
I definitely agree though. Trying it is a good idea, but do be aware that you may not be of the group that it stops for. Don't get your hopes too high, that's my best recommendation, ig.
THE FACT THAT THERE IS ONE DISLIKE IS-
JESUS
WHO EVER DISLIKED,
IMMA HIT YOU.
ANYWAY
NOAH YOUR VERY BRAVE FOR TALKING ABOUT IT
I actually really don’t like using the word(s) “period” or “time of the month” I straight up say “I’m bleeding” it confuses ANYBODY who happens to overhear me they often look concerned... like where am I bleeding!!? My head??? My toes?! Did I accidentally cut myself somewhere?! Nobody knowssssss
And I’m also really uncomfortable going into the tampon isle (21F)
Haha my friend and I both learned in detail about how the menstrual cycle works in school last year. One lunchtime she was on her period and had cramps and was rocking back and forth cos of the pain, and her younger brother asks "are you okay" and she goes "no, my endometrium is shedding!" 😂. We still both call it that sometimes lol.
Also I've never shopped for pads, my dad does the shopping in my family so he always buys them for me. Men buying period products for their family members who menstruate should be normalised.
Me and my best friend calls it “the bloody demon” instead of “period” because it makes us a bit uncomfortable so we’re just like “THE FUCKIN BLOODY DEMON CAME TODAY MATE”
lmao this comment has no right being this funny
@@starry4716 lmao 😂
I can't understand why anyone would ever feel like they should ask you if you get a period. Thanks for making the video anyway even if it makes you uncomfortable.
Ovira is a really great product for period pain, it’s like a tens machine and it has made my life so much better! They are working on making their branding more diverse and less female only focussed currently too which is great to see! Promise they’re not telling/paying me to say this I just love it so much and I want others to not have to deal with pain
I love your lighting. The mood is so chill.
At least ur mom tried to explain it to u😭ima cis women and I was ten and said mom come here and she was sitting with my big brother down stairs and she yells 'FUCK DONT TELL ME U GOT UR PERIOD' and I. Was. Mortified.
Lmao my mother never explained my period to me either XD
I freaked out about why my underwear was stained and thought I was sick then my older sister cuz she's kinda evil just laughed and told me I had my period and got pads from my aunt lmao. I was a few months away from my 11th birthday back then and ngl I felt like the world was ending iver getting my period idk why💀
i hate it when the mothers say "you are a woman' at age 12 like i did; then when their daughters are pregnant at 15 they scream at them "why did you get pregnant at this age?" "hey when i got my period you told me i was a woman!" parents...when it comes to your daughters think about your words! their bodies are changing yes..but they are still children! I WAS NOT PREGNANT AT 15 but one of my friends did and well..her parents "took care of it" and you know what im saying!
I just finished watching the video jammidodger did today when I got the notification for this, lol 😂
Loved this video! So informative! Thank you for opening up on what must be a sensitive and uncomfortable topic for you to touch on 💗 Love what Natracare is doing too!
As soon as I moved out, I bought reusable pads online so id never have to enter the "feminine hygiene" aisle again 😂
I love Noah, he's so comfortable with himself
as a young trans i appreciate hearing this type of content so much thank u
me clicking on this video and suddenly remembering for the hundredth time that YES, NOAH IS TRANS... how do i forget EVERY. TIME.
Happy Transgender day of Visibility man! 🤍 God bless you🧡
I can’t wait for the day that I wouldn’t get PTSD triggered about the word period in regards to this. So I’ll run from the trigger for now, I’ll come back when I’m okay about it.
I only left this comment because I’m happy for you that you get to talk about this and move past getting triggered if at all.
While I personally can't relate to the topic, I just love hearing you talk about Hot Topics in the LGBTQ community that need to be heard. Keep going strong Noah!
I learned a lot about what it means to go on testosterone! Thanks for sharing Noah!
Thank you for talking about this, Noah ! Have been watching you for years
What birth control side effects should I expect while taking the pill?
The hormones in birth control pills may cause side effects in some people. But this doesn’t happen to everyone - many people use the pill with no problems.
After starting the pill, some people may have:
Headaches
Nausea
Sore breasts
Changes in your periods (early, late, or stopping altogether while on the pill)
Spotting (bleeding between periods or brown discharge)
The good news is that these side effects usually go away in 2-3 months. So if you just started the pill and you have side effects that bother you, try to stick it out and give your body a chance to adjust to the hormones.
Birth control shouldn’t make you feel sick or uncomfortable.
videos like this really help affirm my nonbinary-ness and make me feel sane because I can relate to stuff and experiences
That was me! It was me who asked "do you get period still? Does it bother you?" Noah answered my question hooray!
i love noah's hair like this
I know your video has an ad for another product in it, but when I discovered the period panties it was a revelation! With these, I feel like not being on my period at all. There's something really freeing about putting up "regular" panties and going about your day without thinking about tampons or pads.
i appreciate you for making this video because im afab non binary person whose currently on their period and ive been thinking about going on testosterone in the future. periods make my dysphoria extra worse since i found out i was non binary. also, your song "stupid" is great and i love it
When my first p-word started (at like 8) I was just so bummed out. Obviously, being so young, I didn’t know what trans was, all I knew was that I DID NOT want to be a “woman.” And I wasn’t ready to start becoming one. My mom was excited though.
I’m pretty much over it now and it’s just something that happens every month that’s a slight inconvenience. Im not out, though.
8??? I got it at like 13 1/2 and then it went away and started again like a year later at like 14 1/2 ish I think
I started at 9 and it really shocked me, I was very confused (even though I had already had "the talk" in regards to the female reproductive system, I suppose I couldn't believe it was happening to me) and ended up telling my male best friend at recess the same day, lol.
My sister's started at 8 or 9 if I remember right. She had an early puberty. For me it was right before I turned 12 which was still a little early. It's crazy how that stuff happens. I remember when it happened to me I was just like 😲 no. "maybe...I somehow cut myself down there. Yeah, that's it, cause I can wipe the blood away, it was just a little blood, it's fine"
....I was wrong 😔
@@torik7256
I thought the same! I was a bit worried because I thought I might have done something to accidentally hurt myself and I was in total denial. Took me a few minutes to gather the courage and tell my mom
Happy trans visibility dayyyyy🏳️⚧️⚧️
If you can afford it, menstrual cups are really great. I'm a cis girl, but I feel like it would be good to anyone who gets a period. It costs a bit more at first, but you end up saving money.
The main problem with period products I've concluded from this video are also solved:
They're reusable, you don't need a trash
They're reusable, you don't need to go every month or two to buy more, avoiding that
Also:
It doesn't make a lot of noise like opening a tampon/pad does
You can leave it in for up to 12 hours and you don't have to worry about it
6:02 I KNEW THIS SENTENCE WAS COMMING BUT I STILL WASNT READY- the pain that sentence brought me, dear lord...
