Hello underachievers!
So, a few months ago I made a video titled
"The most insane transphobic song I've ever heard"
and it was-- It was a time!
It was hilarious.
If you haven't seen it, you should watch it.
But if you're new to my channel,
hi, I'm Noah, I'm bi, I'm trans,
I make music
and I also like to make content
where I laugh at transphobes and homophobes,
because, you know what?
It's just fun sometimes!
I mean, number One,
it means I can provide people with arguments against bigotry,
so if you hear some dumb bullshit out in the world,
you can say, "hey, no, actually, no.
"You're wrong and here is why".
And number Two,
I just find it quite hilarious sometimes.
To be entirely honest,
there is a lot of scary transphobia going on in the media nowadays,
there's a lot of anti-trans legislation,
a lot of prominent politicians,
a lot of prominent celebrities and authors,
said some quite not nice things about trans people.
I'm obviously insanely privileged to be in a position
where I can just laugh at it.
Obviously, a lot of it upsets me.
It drives me a little bit crazy,
I can't lie, it's been pretty tough,
but I found that laughing in bigot's faces really just winds them up,
which you know, can't complain about that.
But it also just reinforces quite literally how insane
half the stuff they say is,
so we're just going to make a video doing that.
We're just going to laugh at these people.
Speaking of transphobes,
I actually have a brand new song coming out on the 26th of October.
It may be past that right now,
but if it is, go stream it!
If it isn't, go pre-save it.
Link is in the bio.
The song is called "Scumbag".
It's essentially a diss track towards TERFs and transphobes
who, you know, hide the hatred of trans people
behind the guise of "protecting women and children",
because we know it's [ ].
Trans people aren't a threat,
and this is really the first time that I've actually written
about trans stuff since before I transitioned,
so this is a big deal for me.
it's also definitely not about--
You should listen now, the link is down there.
So, the video I was talking about that transphobes found.
Again, you should probably watch it,
but if you can't be asked, which I don't blame you,
here is it in short.
Skepta and JME released a song called "Disguise" in 2009.
It's a song about them going to the red-light district in Amsterdam
and not realizing that a blue or purple light
in the red-light district indicates that somebody
that you're going to engage with is transgender.
The song is literally just
"you're not a woman, you're a man,
"and you tricked me into being attracted to you".
Just for reference, my favorite lyrics are:
"Transvestites, mandem in disguise".
"They're not girls, they're guys!
"They're mandem in disguise".
"They tried it on the sly, with that purple light".
And I would say number one lyric:
"You thought it was a girl cause he had a handbag.
"You didn't know it was a next man's grandad.
"Don't rush into things rudeboy
"Take some more time, check out the jawline".
Obviously beautiful storytelling.
The lyrics, absolutely riveting.
And as I said in that video that I'm talking about,
the song kind of bangs!
It kind of goes hard.
You can imagine that being conflicting to a transgender.
Obviously it was a different time,
it was 2009.
We don't really use the term "transvestite" anymore.
I haven't heard that be used in a very long time.
If you want to know more about that,
watch the original video.
Anyway, let's get on to the crazy comments
that this transphobes left on my video,
because they're quite literally insane.
Just as an overall theme of what the comments are saying,
it's mostly just people being like:
"You're offended.
"You [ ].
"You're a snowflake.
"You woke ass [ ]".
And look, these people are entitled to their opinion.
If they think I'm just being offended,
I'm upset, I'm crying all the time,
they have a god-given right to tell me what they think.
And I'm speaking to my editor Vegard right now,
can we show the people just quite how upset I was by this song?
- ♪ They're mandem in disguise ♪
I love that.
It's very catchy.
I love that phrasing.
"A next man's grandad".
It's just catchy.
It's just a catchy song.
- So, let's have a look, shall we?
So, let's start with a real zinger.
"You are gay".
You are gay.
I am not gay.
Or am I gay?
I'm quite gay.
I'm mostly into men-- But I'm still into women.
I'm mostly gay, but I am bi,
but I'm not gay.
All right, I think this is probably my favorite kind of hate comment to receive
because it's not like--
You could easily read this
as someone just saying you are gay".
"You're gay, you're gay".
Or you could read it as "you are gay!"
Either way, I love it.
Very simple, but not much thought put into it, can't lie.
"[ ] your pronouns", said Alex.
The thing that I don't understand about comments like this
where people are like, "I hate pronouns.
"Put your pronouns in the bin, I hate your pronouns".
What do you mean?
You have pronouns too, my guy.
Anyway that was a lovely addition from Alex.
Should we get on to the more long-winded one?
So, I'd like you guys to pay close attention to the words
that are being capitalized, so...
I just realized there's no punctuation.
How am I supposed to read this?
"Times change but facts don't.
"Trans are disguised.
"Transvestite and transgender.
"It's same one and same different between this two
"IS transvestite.
"Beware that they are male but transgender don't,
"but IT IS same thing, man dressing as a woman".
Maybe if there were commas I could breathe.
Let's dissect this:
"Times change, but facts don't.
"Trans are disguised".
I don't know, this is kind of just like how I am.
I don't know what I'm disguising.
I'm not really hiding anything particular from you.
If I was hiding what was down there,
I feel like if I didn't hide that, then you'd be more upset.
"Transvestite and transgender.
"It's same one and same different between this two
"IS transvestite--"
Okay...
Let's just go with
"transvestite and transgender it's same one".
No, so...
I know this may be confusing.
Different words tend to have different meanings,
so transgender,
"trans" means "across", as in,
if you're transgender,
you go across from one gender to another gender.
"Gender" is "gender".
You may want to Google that because you sound quite confused.
"Transvestite", though, that's a different word.
There are two parts, "trans" and "vestite".
"Vest", you know, like clothing, like clothes.
So "trans" is across from gender,
gender cross the trans.
"Transvestite", vest trans the gender.
No.
A transvestite, which is not the word
that we really use nowaday,
it's just somebody that crossdressers.
You could just say "crossdresser".
A transgender person, like me, I'll use me as an example,
I got my tits chopped off.
They were hacked off my body and incinerated somewhere.
I was born biologically woman and now I'm man.
A transvestite or a crossdresser is still...
If you were born a man and you wear a dress,
you're still a man,
but if you're a transgender, you wouldn't be.
Anyway, moving on.
"Same different between this two
"IS transvestite.
"Beware that they are male but transgender--"
Yeah, I can't.
You guys have to help me out on that one.
"don't but IT IS same thing, man dressing as a woman".
He's essentially just saying that
a transgender person is the same as a crossdresser,
which, I don't know what to tell you.
Next up we have:
"Amazing song.
"Helmets needed for all offended".
This comment is brought to you by @WESTERNDILUSIONEXPOSED.
Thanks for exposing our delusion.
"Helmets needed for all offended".
The thing is, if you watch my video,
you could see I was having a wonderful time.
- It's funny as hell!
- I loved it, I thought the song sounded great,
the lyrics made me cackle,
they made me giggle, I did a laugh.
I feel like, anytime,
and this definitely happens in real life,
like, in person, like,
away from the internet, where these trolls live,
this happens where I'll be like:
"oh, my God, did you see this thing J.K. Rowling said?
"It was insane!"
And people would be like, "oh, that's so horrible!
"That's so terr-- I'm so sorry!"
And like, I get it.
You mean well and I absolutely appreciate that,
but like, let a guy laugh!
Why can't I laugh?
Like, why when I laugh at something horrible,
people are like, "you're so offended, you [ ]".
Like, who is upset here?
You're upset that I'm laughing?
Is that it?
Next up we have:
"It's not phobic,
"it's called having common sense".
And this is obviously Rishi Sunak's burner account.
Pete Jones, whoever you are,
I know you're Rishi Sunak.
You, short man.
The thing with this song is that it's in the lyrics,
that there's a blue light, that there's a purple light,
but they just didn't realize what that meant.
A blue light would indicate that
the person that you're engaging with is transgender,
so like, how would they be in disguise?
The light is literally that--
It's called the red-light district!
Not do any research about what the lights were?
"You're a woman, get over it.
"This is not hate speech, just the truth".
My legal sex is male,
so legally, I am male.
So, illegally, you are wrong.
And legally, you are wrong.
But also if truth is not hate speech,
I bet you're ugly as [ ], Kate Walker.
All right.
So, the next long one is:
"BS, the song is about
"going to a prostitute in the red-light district in Amsterdam,
"but the prostitute is a male who didn't disclose their sex".
We'll get back to that.
"That was a thing back in the day.
"Nowadays there is blue light and red light".
We'll go back to that.
"Red light is for biological female prostitutes
"and blue light for biological male prostitutes.
"Sorry I had to explain it for you guys,
"but that's the origin of this song".
So, I don't understand
how somebody can listen to the song,
see the lyrics,
watch my video
and comment immediately "BS".
You literally said that they didn't disclose their sex,
but even that the blue light means that they're biologically male,
so how can you--
I literally said in the video that the blue light means that
it was a trans woman, like, what?
Anyway, my personal favorite that I get on every single video
is just "you'll never be a woman".
Thank you Don Hutchins.
I see you and your "Make America Great Again" hat.
Thank you very much.
But it is a very lovely comment to get
because that just means that he watched this video
with his dumb Trump ass
and was like, "this, this...
"You're trying to be a woman, you man!"
Thanks, my guy, yeah.
And I think this is the comment that made me want to make this video, just:
"A semi mean comment but...
"Trans people do look really weird".
What?
What, what do you mean?
What do you mean?
It's just semi mean?
I don't have a response for this.
I just wanted to read it out.
"Brilliant song and yeah,
"you didn't know anyone in 2009 that used it,
"because you was a little child.
"You didn't have any of your own thoughts.
"You're offended cuz you're trans,
"but the song was really good,
"so just get over it
"and let other people have their opinions
"without you trying to force your [ ] on others".
What do you mean?
I'm just reading out lyrics from a song and laughing at it.
Why am I trying to force on anyone?
I had lots of my own thoughts as a 9-year-old.
I had lots of them.
One of them was:
"Wow, Lobbdem sounds like an absolute [ ]".
"Transphobia equals logical biology".
Logical biology.
Skepta, a logical biologist.
JME, lab assistant.
There's nothing logical about bigotry.
Like, I don't know, like...
I guess you could say like, "oh, it makes sense
"how people come to the these conclusions",
but again, I wouldn't call that logic.
This one-- So this is--
I just get-- I just get stuff like this all the time.
I get weird-- I get people calling me a groomer.
I get people saying I'm advocating for really weird bad things,
things that I've never said at all,
so this one says:
"Being coerced into sex by a trans predator as a teenager?
"Oh, it's their own fault".
What are you talking about?
Who are you talking to?
The song isn't even about being coerced.
Like, are we saying that Skepta and JME is a victim of like, assault?
Is that like-- Are we saying that?
Is that what you got from the song?
And how is the trans woman that they wrote about a predator?
She was just doing her job,
she had her light,
she had her blue light,
and she was like, "yeah, let's go",
and they just didn't get it.
"Finding out someone you thought was a girl is trans,
"then being turned off isn't wrong.
"It's like being attracted to a guy,
"then finding out his personality is unattracted to you".
So, I found that transphobes, and just people in general
that know like, absolutely nothing about trans people,
all they've heard is what they've seen in the media,
and obviously the media are skewed against trans people,
because we love to use scapegoats for, you know...
General political failings by people in charge.
But it seems like these people
think that all trans people think exactly the same.
Like, they heard one trans person say:
"If you don't want to sleep with me
"you're a transphobe",
and then they're just like,
"oh, this is what trans people think".
Like, I've never said that.
I specifically said,
if you don't want to sleep with a trans person,
why would I care?
There's a difference between finding someone attractive,
realizing their trans
and not wanting to go any further,
and literally writing a song
saying that this woman is a man that tried to trick you,
just because you happened upon her?
Like, why would I want people
who don't want to sleep with trans people
to sleep with trans people?
Why would I want you to be attracted to them?
Like, what do trans people gain from that?
Nobody wants to sleep with somebody
that doesn't want to sleep with them.
Like, that's not-- It's not the vibe.
I don't think trans people want that,
I don't think cis people want that,
but I don't know why you think that trans people
want that and think that.
But yeah, finding out someone you thought was a girl is trans,
then being turned off isn't wrong.
Absolutely.
Being a douche to them after finding out is wrong?
That's fine if you don't want to sleep with them.
I think trans people are more aware than anybody
about that kind of thing.
Like, I fully thought that I would never be in a relationship.
I really thought no one would ever want to sleep with me,
because I was trans,
I was like, "look, I respect people aren't into that.
"They maybe don't want my body,
"they don't want me as a person because of my experience".
I thought that my entire life.
I was not out there like, "oh, let's go find some people
"that don't want to sleep with me to sleep with".
Like, who does that?
So, this is maybe one of my favorite ones:
"Is this the mentally ill channel community?"
Yeah, yeah.
- Do you have a history of mental illness?
- Yes.
- Can't argue with that.
Here's another lovely one:
"Legendary song.
"Go to Jamaica
"and see how long the LGBTQ thing lasts for you LOL".
What do you want me to do?
You want me to grab my passport,
fly to Jamaica and see if they untrans me?
Do you think that will happen?
Do you think I'll get there and be like:
"You know what?
"These delusions I've been having--"
Not for me, I changed my mind.
I was out here packing and making [ ] out of Play-Doh
and putting in my pants,
and you know, trying to pee like a boy pees
when I was 5 years old.
Like, Jamaica is not going to untrans me.
I'm sorry about that.
This person also said:
"They aren't deceiving people when they dress like girls
"and have a whole ass [ ]?
"Okay, kid".
Yeah, cuz like, she wasn't wearing a t-shirt saying,
"hi, I'm a cis lady.
"I don't have any-- "I've never had a penis.
"I wouldn't dream of-- I've never, I never even thought--"
What?
The lights are there for a reason, you know?
The light district? Crazy!
And for these comments,
I know exactly what this guy looks like.
I know exactly how he is.
I know exactly where he spends his time.
He said, "negative canthal tilt".
And "bro needs to mute", which is--
"Canthal tilt" is something about like,
the nose and the eyes.
I saw it on Tik Tok or something.
"Bro needs to mute".
He's saying my jawline is weak and that's okay.
That's okay, my guy.
"An awful lot of mandems in disguise in this comment section".
Yep, yeah, there are a lot of trans people here.
Trans people, say "hi".
Say "I'm here, how you doing?"
"Crying over a 20-year-old song".
Where? Where? Who is crying?
I feel like you're probably more upset than I am.
And I think we just got to end with this one.
"Had to unsubscribe from your channel
"now that I no longer support LGBTQ,
"sorry not sorry".
Thank you Jesse for informing me.
Anyway, that was the end of the video.
What was your favorite comment?
How do you feel about this?
I hope you're doing good.
Have a good day or don't.
See you later losers.
Come see me at a show.
Come see me on tour.
The scum is called "Scum"-- The song--
