StyleLikeU is led by mother-daughter duo Elisa Goodkind and Lily Mandelbaum, who are bound by the desire to uncover what’s underneath personal style. Through candid, docu-style interviews with empowered individuals, StyleLikeU is building a world where getting dressed each morning is an act of self-love.
------------
“Society rewards me the most for dressing as cisgendered heterosexual white male,” explains androgynous, gender-fluid model Rain Dove, as they shrewdly ranks each of their gender and sexuality shells in order of how safe they feels in public. Rain is an accidental model, who launched a successful career after being goaded by a friend to audition for a Calvin Klein runway show. After being sorted as “male” by the casting director and asked to walk topless with the rest of the guys, Rain did so with their characteristic daring, “boobs out.”
And while this ballsy move launched their career as both a both men’s and women’s wear model known for their fierce gender nonconformity, it was also a formative experience in terms of their own personal struggle with being shunned for who they are, as well as for fashion’s still nascent embrace of non-cisgender identities.
Despite the turbulence that Rain’s refusal of gender norms has sometimes wrought on their life-- growing up, kids referred to her as “Tranny Danny”-- their defiant independence, disarming charm, and unwavering sense of self outside of society’s norms has powered them personal journey to self acceptance.
"Sometimes the way that I am isn't like aesthetically pleasing or fuckable to other people but that doesn't make me feel ugly" I NEEDED THIS. She's amazing.
❤️ Thank you for watching!

@@tashaax1993xanimalloverx Actually, Rain claims that we can call Rain's person whatever - Rain is a gender capitalist, remember TED talk? "You can even call me it" - Rain said
She's handsome as fuck
Mariama Bah YAAAASSS
Curva sian right tho? beautiful person, beautiful mind.
This sentence seems weird, but it's really not. This person is beautiful and wonderful in so many ways. Rain, you be fire!
Anthony Cruz lmao yeah I knew the comment would be weird to some but I meant it in the most positive way possible :)

oh my god. so much wisdom. I will listen to this person talk forever

thank you for sharing this, dodie
doddleoddle I love her so much. I swear I've watched every single interview I can find.
OMG Dodie is here
doddleoddle OH HEY DODIE
I met Rain in a flight to the USA and I was proper star struck and all I could say was ‘I love you’. She looked at me and said ‘I love you too’. She is just everything. 🥰
What a beautiful soul
U mean she's a woman
@@chideraogu8367 I’m using a hyperbole. It’s very common, for overly excited people that speak English, to use this expression when they find something or someone amazing. Hope it’s all clear to you know. Thank you.
@@andrearibeiro5528 she doesn't care what pronouns you use for her. It's more about using the pronoun positively, she says
Her 'first-modelling-experience' story had me in stitches! She was so badass to pull that off!

It’s really interesting how people like Rain Dove start to make you think of people as humans again and not as labels
I'm sorry, but Rain, you are in no way ugly! What you are is a light and some people can't look into the light without being self conscious about how dark they themselves are. You have a great head on your shoulders and I'm sending mad love for all of your remaining and amazing present moments!
Them cheekbones though!!
Give her a radio show or something! Very smart and observant person and great VOICE! I could listen to her for HOURS! Thank u for taking the time to talk to us!
❤️ We'd totally tune in!
I love how her vibes change from giving you an Alpha male/ Boy next door vibe, to luminous and soothing Anne Hathaway Le Mis vibe... Just like a lovely tahitian pearl
Two words to describe Rain dove,
Pure & indestructible.
❤️
false
And a liar 🤥 apparently she lies about a lot of those “life experiences” …it’s a shame she tries to pass as such a social justice warrior, but it’s based on so many lies.
@@jessejess5159 sources? Cause I think people keep repeating other comments with absolutely no actual arguements.
@@gk9546 sources ?? It’s called it’s all over the internet for anyone to find if you just do a search yourself.
I don't know why but she's lying about having been to Berkeley and having been a firefighter. She actually went to Berkeley City College, and in this article from NBC news: "Instead of firefighting, Dove worked as a wildfire prevention officer whose role never involved interacting with flames, according to Mark Wertheimer, the chief operating officer of Rocky Mountain Youth Corps in Colorado, where Dove previously claimed to have fought fires. Dove also admitted to never volunteering as a firefighter during last year’s deadly Camp Fire in Paradise, California, despite previously claiming on social media to have “signed up for Fire relief efforts on a saw team near Paradise." While Dove still maintains they volunteered in a cleanup capacity, the Paradise Fire Department, with whom Dove previously claimed to have volunteered, said it has no record of Dove volunteering there at all.

She is so lovely. Could listen to her speak for ever and ever about gender fluidity and breaking from social norms. Cheers to her for how much wisdom is her in head
She isn’t gender fluid..she’s just a woman who wears and behaves in whatever she wants regardless them being masculine or feminine she doesn’t believe clothes are masculine or feminine so..she isn’t butch either cause they try to appear and behave a certain way described as masculine same as transgender men
@@Lala-fd6cf Yeap 🧡

They missed the whole point of the video

Can i just, have like.. a little dose of this persons confidence? Please
Holy shit, she told that firefighting story so casually. It sounded like she was talking about someone she met at the store rather than a terrifying life or death experience. Major respect

@CRW LH they’ve burn scars on the side of their head? Even on the off chance they where lying, they’ve been close enough to death to share truth in their experience
@@t.w.7057 She never went through what she said. And its not the only thing.
@@skygazer1111 thanks, quite a lie! Pretty messed up! I fought a wild forest fire, really traumatic! I would cry when I talked about it. Now I just don't talk about it.
as a trans guy who struggles to be confident in my trans identity this video was so fucking powerful, Rain really is fucking amazing, I'm almost crying now wow
I feel her pain of being deeply disrespected and disregarded as a human being. That crap sucks, especially when it's also roped in with life or death situations and you feel like the world just rejects you. She is one tough human being, that's why she's a Rain Dove. :) Get it girl.

“Not dragging your past along with you and not fearing the future” is an amazing way to live, she’s an incredible person.
65 year old grandmother here I’m really impressed with Rain. So mature to be so young and has so much going on.So appealing to the eyes too .
I clicked so fast when I saw Rain 😂 #educatedonthate
Gloria Napier honestly she has blown up so much in the past year 😍😍😍
Diana Nguyen she has and it's awesome! Love the message she's helping to spread 😊
Ha same 😂

I could watch an hour of this.
Thank you for watching :)
I think its the ability to understand so many dimensions of humanity keeps them so beautiful.
Thank you, Rain, for sharing your story. This is absolutely incredible.
Thank you
This channel is seriously the best thing on the internet. Addictive.
Hi
Wow, this is incredible, what a special person
Thank you for watching :)
Lol
Ive been waiting for this for so long!
Inspiring, bold, vulnerable!
Keep doing your thing you star
Thank you
This is so important to me on so many levels- as I'm sure it is for many others. I dress androgynous sometimes, and it's heartening to see someone who goes through what I do, the stigmas and stereotypes and the assumptions... thank you for this
Thank you for watching
If confused a lot of males in my calculus classes after i took my hood off of my ballcap that matched my joggers and they were caught off guard that a female was sitting front row not a Male.
I’m connect to you please tell me how ??😊
RAIIIIIN yes i've been waiting for this
So glad you're watching!
I am SOOOO happy that Rain Dove was interviewed in the project!!! She's brilliant!
Thank you
She is wise beyond her years. It has taken me a long time to learn to live in the moment. She is a beautiful soul.
I love this series so much. Wow.
❤️ Thank you so much.
It’s the first time I’ve seen it!! I absolutely love everything about her this societal contrasting is awesome!!
Me to. What an amazing, informative, important, unique, brilliant idea
This is an amazing example of what beauty should be like. I am amazed with the words this person chose to express themselves. So much inner and outer beauty. Style like U keep inspiring us. Love from Greece
Thank you
She is very relatable and makes gender and her experience with it understandable. Also she’s gorgeous. Crushing🥰
“Clothing doesn’t have gender” THANK YOU 👏🏼👏🏼 wearing “men’s” clothing doesn’t make you manly, a tomboy, etc. it just makes you someone who is wearing a short sleeve button up. FUCK YES RAIN DOVE
This has got be one of my most favorite episodes on this channel. She is so insightful, intelligent, and inspiring. An amazing individual.
What a great personality! Super interesting to listen to!
I have to say it's kind of strange, and her very being is questioning my views upon... a lot of stuff actually... Like It's just not logic that I could think of her as a very pleasing male but as a not so pleasing female... When, all things considered, it is the same person... It is as I had this unconscious thoughts preventing me to like something, preventing me to go behind the labels... It is as, without realize it, I never liked things not because of my personal appreciation of them but rather because of what they were supposed to be like (socially) ...
Wow... Lol thanks, Rain Dove.
It's awesome that you are open to looking at that side of yourself. Teach others who are not, how to be.
I love this so much.
Wow - thank you for your comment. Such good for thought and highlights the conditioning that we are not even aware of!
they made me realize a lot by watching this video too. and im happy im not the only one. its nice to hear someone else being open enough to admit what you just did and share it. I hope you apply it to everyday life and try to be a better human being. and thank you rain dove!!
I am absolutely captivated by the wildfire story. So powerful.
the most moving 11 minutes of my life, wow.
❤️ Thank you!
i could listen to her speak all day!!
She's amazing!
Wow, what a wise human being! This interview is now one my favorites!
Thank you
Rain Dove is one of the most amazing people of our time. Their efforts and the way they work so hard to educate and actively love those around them is astounding and something to truly admire.
I have been waiting for Rain's appearance on this project. So excited!
Thank you
Genuinely one of the best interviews I’ve ever watched
And rewatched
i could hear her talk for hours. thank you for being this vulnerable.
Blown away. What a lovely soul, filled to the brim with light and wisdom. Great interview.
What a gorgeous, wise and inspirational human being. The things Rain Dove says resonate with me on a deep level and reflect so much of how I aspire to live my life. Simply astonishing.
This channel has brought a lot of positivity to my life, and is absolutely, 100% helping me appreciate and someday, hopefully, even love my body. These videos are priceless, and I am deeply grateful to StyleLikeU for creating them.
Hi
After having such a difficult few days with self love you never fail to put things into perspective with these videos. Every single person you interview is an amazing role model and thanks Rain for being yet another inspiration and a bad ass.
❤️ Thank you!
S/he is beautiful. As an androgynous woman myself, I am...wowed by them.
Tabitha S. Rain uses female pronouns, she just switches between male/female/androgynous clothing. Just for future reference :)
@@strawberrycherrybaby Thanks for the info! Am gonna check out on her now :)
Me too. All growing up people called me young man. It was a hoot being pregnant.
I was fortunate enough to get to meet and talk to Rain when they came and spoke at my university!
The pain we go through, if we allow it, and if we work through it, makes us stronger, and more defined as a person. You have turned into a strong and beautiful person.
So beautiful to listen to ❤️
This was amazing and comforting to watch, as I too dress and present myself in "men's clothing" and have short hair. People try to persuade me against it by getting me to dress and act "like a real woman". Although I often get mistaken as a boy or a lesbian stereotype and often just get called weird, I am comfortable and confident this way. Life is too short to limit each other to our appearance and style, as that's what makes us one of a kind. Great video as always! :D
I love how beautiful this person and their narrative is. No matter who you are, Rain is relatable in one way or another. What an incredible gift to the world. THANK YOU.
Beautiful & earthy!! Thank you, Rain.
oh my gosh she's beautiful. what an amazing experience 🌷🌸💫
It really was
Totally agree
@submissivelover - there's a kinder way to do this.
You could say that unless you were the one being misgendered.
Rain Dove (full name Rain Dove Dubilewski) disavows pronouns and asks her interlocutor to choose their own. This feels like a large responsibility; “Use she, he, it, one, they. You could call me mow mow and I honestly don’t care,” she says. “A pronoun is just a sound. All I’m listening for in that sound is positivity.” ref: www.theguardian.com/fashion/2018/sep/10/every-step-i-take-is-a-defiance-rain-dove-on-modelling-asia-argento-and-gender-capitalism
How disappointed I was the after watching this and being so impressed with Rain Dove's personality & intellect I see online that the story of being a firefighter was a LIE?! They admitted to it being a lie on NBC? Very strange.
the calvin Kline runway was such a funny story love that!
They seem like a really chill person.
I love their life stories and powerful journeys, and their authentic self.
I'm Crying. Thank you so much for that. I don't have the words to describe how beautiful this was.
Thank you so much for watching.
StyleLikeU Thank you for making these videos!
she's so wise, so lovely to listen to, a beautiful person inside and out
Rain Dove has been my modern day hero for so long and I've been addicted to this channel forever. What a happy and adrenaline pumping moment when I heard she was being interviewed!! Gahhhh, this was everything. Damn...what a human being
❤️ So glad you enjoyed this.
I love Rain Dove 💜
Thank you for watching!
I'm so attracted to her it's insane RAIN YOU GODDESS
yikes
@@thoticcusprime9309 🤣🤣🤣 Lordie Lord.
I could listen to them talk forever. Something very comforting about their voice and inflection. Very inspiring and remarkable human.
I don’t know where Rain Dove served as a wildfire fighter, but goddamn she is a hero. Living in California you gain a huge appreciation for the people who put themselves in that kind of danger to make sure others are safe. What a brave person.
According to Wikipedia, they admitted to lying about both studying at Berkley and being a firefighter to NBC in 2019.
I would have been insanely proud if they were my kid. What an incredibly wise and charismatic person. Nothing about them is ugly to me, they are fantastic.
It was Rain Dove's feature in the StyleLikeU Allure video which helped me just be me. I broke the fem box and have felt way more comfortable expressing myself style wise since then.
Also, slightly weird, but I appreciate their sizable breasts! I feel like more often those who can switch the hat and play "men" have a small chest, but Rain is like "They're big, they're beautiful, and they're miiiine!"
alimon89 And I was incredibly impressed that she wasn't wearing a binder! I could vaguely see a breast outline in the red shirt, but I'm very surprised they didn't have her wear a binder under her 'male' clothes.
Be Here Now. So nice hearing someone else who has reached that kinda peace and know i'm not alone. What an amazing woman.
Stumbling across this was exactly what my mind needed to realign. Thank you to all involved for such articulate wisdom that has helped me on my personal journey of growth & self-discovery
Loved her style but never had heard her talk before, soothing voice & wise words
wow this might be one of my new favorite episodes!! so eloquent and beautiful and thought provoking :))
Thank you :)
Rain Dove, you are amazing! thank you for being exactly who you are, for sharing your authentic fluidity, thank you for your vulnerability, and your strength!
I have so much respect for this person. I could listen to them talk about anything for hours because they're so wise and insightful, but serious about all the bs that goes on in the world at the same time
Why do people care so much about labeling. Why people can’t just be what they feel comfortable in without explanation of what category they fit in.
It’s more because labels make people perceive things differently. Think about that.
Because the unlabeled things don't exist and when something doesn't exist it doesn't had rights
Unfortunately Rain Dove has since outed themselves as a compulsive liar 😭 They admitted in an interview that they never went to Berkley, nor were they a firefighter. Dove only worked as a wildfire prevention officer and never actually fought any fires.
Whatt where !!?:(((
@@chloeknight1245 It’s all over the internet! At least Rain owned up to everything 😅
@@tessal8366 damn I tried looking it up but couldn’t find anything about it😩
Rain admitted it in a youtube video back in Dec 2019. I can't find the video now, so it must have been taken down. I also read about it on the NBC News website, where Rain also admitted lying about not having sold TMZ the private text messages actress Asia Argento sent them regarding having relations with a minor.
@@Cloudancer2024 what!!! Yikes that’s wild you would never guess from this interview with her…
She is so wise, it's great to see people like this.
I'd never heard of her, but now I could listen to her talk for hours. So thoughtful and articulate.
What an amazing fucking person. Seriously, that much wisdom and ability to articulate does not come to many people throughout their whole lives. I would love to be able to sit down and have a coffee with them. That's probably on my bucket list somewhere.
Hi
Seeing her always inspires me so much. It's interesting to know how she came about modeling and the industry, and how she makes it work for her all while advocating for numerous groups and using her platform. I think attraction and "beauty" is something that transcends gender and she is so so beautiful. I just love her ah 👏
Rain's positivity is amazing, not only with regards to her body and gender presentation, but her entire attitude towards life!
Beautiful interview, she is great. What an experience to face her own death like that. 💕
I love your channel and all the people you invite to it... You deserve much more views, because stories like this can influence so many people! You are doing an amazing job!
This thought me so much ! A body is nothing but a body , that 's the cliché but it feels like now it has fallen into the right place
Rain, you seem so fun and understanding and down to earth, the people who have left your life don't deserve the friendship of such a amazing person.
The right now part got me . I don't understand what rain goes thru b/c I'm not going thru it but the right now part ..... I got that .
Rain is someone I have been following for a few years now before the gender identity flood came in. She is a proof that there is nothing wrong with your sex. You can be gender non-confirming without having to take certain identities and hormones . You can be a woman and reject all forms of femininity without being a transman. Thanks Rain for being the voice of reason hope you never lose it.
So warm and wise. It makes you look at the people around you and realise just how little they choose to evolve to their true self - forever clinging to the acceptance of what this world calls "normal".
YESSSSSS I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS AMAZING PERSON FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. So glad StyleLikeU paired with Rain.
Betty Catroux (famous CHANEL model and BFF of Yves Saint Laurent) used to say that genitals are just God's way of accessorizing the human body. My understanding of scripture (book of Revelation in the Bible) is that the ultimate form and level of transcendence is a sexless state where the soul survives in a spiritual state, unencumbered by sex. Therefore dear friend, you are simply more emancipated and transcendent than most people on earth. May God bless you. All my love.
THIS!
No, God makes us either a man or a woman because both men and women are special and necessary.
@@auser6828 BOOOOO!
@@auser6828 God didn’t make gender, humans did. Don’t you realize that no other animal except humans have gender

Thank you for the reminder: all we have is now.
i'm so glad i've come across this, i feel so much more inspired and i know that's exactly what Rain wanted to do - i hope she knows that we understand her and feel the same way: Rain Dove is bringing change and beauty and she should be so proud.
StyleLikeU I'm always falling in love watching the treasures you find and share... 'Falling in love again... never wanted to, what am I to do, can't help it.' Thank Q Rain
