Early transition can be a stressful, intimidating time. Coming out to friends, family, and coworkers isn’t always easy, and on top of that, it can feel like you have to start over in every area of life. And to make things even harder, you might not have IRL trans folks in your life yet to guide you through the early steps of transition.

But don’t worry—as usual, the Internet is here to help while you’re going through the roughest period of coming out. Soon you’ll find your own IRL trans community, but until that time, if you have any questions about anything from hygiene to hair care to makeup to choosing a new name, Jade Noel is here for you. The TikToker’s recent series offers “big sister” advice to folks who are just starting out, and believe me when I tell you Miss Noel is extremely thorough. She’s got tips for everything you need to know about becoming the best, hottest, and most confident version of yourself.

“I’ll be damned if any of you are using 25-in-one body wash/shampoo…products,” Noel explains in her video detailing the ins and outs of hygiene. “We’re gonna get on to a nice hygiene routine for you to make sure you’re nice and cute this summer.”

Noel’s videos cover everything from what razors to use for shaving (pro tip: women’s razors don’t work, it’s a sexist scam!) to how to stay safe when coming out to loved ones.

Not only is Jade Noel dropping pure wisdom with the supportive, big sister energy we love to see, she’s also absolutely hilarious. Noel’s energy is infectious, and she’s truly doing a service with this series. We’ve all experienced the joy and terror of early transition, when it feels like we have so many basic questions and so few answers. Don’t worry: Jade Noel’s got you.

Honestly, what she’s doing is no less than the Lord’s work. Early transition doesn’t have to be scary or intimidating. Thanks to creators like Jade Noel, coming out as trans can get that much closer to becoming the exciting, glamorous moment it was meant to be.
