That’s beautiful….wish I read this years ago❤️
Such an amazing story- I'm so happy this worked out for you both.
It's so good to see that we are not alone to experience this way of life. Your voice is very important and prove that love is higher than biased opinions. We are a trans women and cisgender women family with 2 childrens in France.
Special
Love has no label's race gender religion or sexual orientation doesn't matter love is love
Growing up, my mom would tell me a story about her teacher who transitioned to a woman, and her wife stayed happily married to her. This was the 70s and you can imagine the social backlash. My mom admired them and their love so much and it was a powerful story I heard growing up in the 90s. Here's to you both and your everlasting, all powerful love ❤
How cool your mom shared that story with you!
I have the same story about my wonderful music teacher (in the late 60s), who transitioned in 1971 and was quickly fired by the school board. I never forgave the board for that terrible act. I wonder if it was the same teacher.
😮
🥂🍾💗
You are an incredible, incredible woman. Your partner is beyond lucky to have you. Your videos are also so well structured, informative and brilliantly edited. You speak so well and so confidently with nothing but understanding and compassion, it really is a breath of fresh air.
Just want to wish your family the best now & always. The body may be different but the love in Shaye's heart or yours has never changed.
You both are incredible. At 73 I am learning so much from you. I am not transport nor do I know anyone who is but I support how people want to live and who and how they want to love. You are a very strong woman and your family is very lucky to have you. I wish you all love and happiness. Thank You so much. Merry Christmas!❤
Both are lucky to have each other🩷🩷
I thought I was open minded and accepting of the trans community until my child came out to me. It is a very different acceptance when it's not an abstract idea but someone you love. It's hard but they're still the same person deep down. If you truly love that person, you want them to be happy.
Its just so beautiful that even coming from a mormon background you can see the most righteous and empathetic thing to do is accept and support LGBTQ people. Your channel really sets a great example for religious people with long held beliefs to hopefully question their views. Very beautiful couple and family ❤
I agree with u they're a loving couple mostly her for accepting her partner shay's transition
That’s what real religion is anyways . Love an faith and some hope all moved together
I don’t get it, how is this righteous? This Shaye was not honest when they got married, it’s like she was sold a dud, that’s not fair on anyone. Lucky for him she’s happy to adjust but you cannot expect this from ppl, this lady has gone above and beyond

@@emilygooner9697Most people who has gender dysphoria would take them year's to identify as opposite of there assigned gender so don't judge until you understand there pain and struggle
As a trans woman this is how I want to be loved
I am a biologist woman and long to be loved this way. This is unconditional love at its best. These videos are healing me. ❤
Pray you attract the love you desire❤
And you deserve to be!! Much Love to you!
I hope you find the love of your life.❤
How you deserve to be loved
I think it's wonderful that LOVE is what is keeping you two together.
I've watched a LOT of transgender related content on youtube. And without doubt, this is the most inspiring, loving and beautiful story I've listed to. Shaye is so lucky to have you as her wife. If I ever meet anyone half as kind, intelligent and compassionate as you, I would be over the moon. I wish both all the happiness in the world.
My wife and I are both 60 I came out seven years ago after 34 years of marriage. She has the same feelings you have. I am just father in my transition the new wife is, as you stated, you love the persons, heart, not the body❤
So you have a sexual proclivity for wearing women's clothes? And if you are a woman now you are a lesbian right?
This was so well stated and well done. There are so many people who need to hear this message. By supporting people to be themselves, lives are saved. Sending you a standing ovation and sharing this for others to see!
Just found your channel and am so glad I did ❤. I am trans woman and my wife and I have been together 12 years. Seeing someone else go through a similar journey of transition and faith change , just brings so much visibility to a journey I felt I was navigating without much of. Thanks taking the courage to be so public with your lives. Excited to explore the channel and wish both you and ur partner the happiest of lives!
Your growth and intelligence through this is amazing and admirable. I hope more and more partners of trans people are open to developing a new normal with their partner like you have with your family.❤️
You are a beautiful couple navigating some really big transitions together.
I appreciate and honour the way you are sharing your journey with such sincerity . I wish you both so much happiness ❤
I very rarely comment on yt videos. Your story and this video really moved me. I was sobbing by the end. Thank you for putting this out here.
This is absolutely beautiful and I am so grateful to both of you for being so honest, open and vulnerable - which to me = brave - in order to help educate this often narrow minded, rigid society. All peace and love and truth to you and your family. Look forward to your next video! I hope healing is going well and I admire all of you. ☮️❤️🌷
I think for some people they don’t think of how supporting someone can mean different things. As a queer person myself, if my partner told me he was trans it wouldn’t change my feelings. We would have a lot of growing to do and change to work through, but that’s ok.
In your family support has meant staying together, which I love. I’ve also known couples who after one came out as trans their romantic relationship ended, but they continued to support their former partner as friends, sometimes co-parents, etc, because they didn’t break up because they had issues with their former partner being trans, they just weren’t compatible romantically anymore which is also valid. Love sometimes evolves as we grow as people, and that’s ok. We can support people we love in so many ways.
So glad you’ve found peace. I love your videos, seams like you’ve come along way since morman stories too
I don’t know how this channel came on my time line but it is wonderful. The way Shay explains self acceptance and not fighting the tide. Resonated with my soul.
I’m compelled to look at other videos as I still work toward with finding the joy I desire within.
This video is so beautiful and wise !!! I watch all your videos about your transition journey and they have touched me deeply!! I am so so so happy for Shaye that she finally can allow herself to be herself and that she is so loved while doing so! You are so right: trans is beautiful!!❤❤❤
This is one of the most important videos I've ever seen. May every single person in the world see it and UNDERSTAND.
Thank you so very much!
You’re such a great narrator/public speaker. Love your stories.
I’m sure you’ll help so many ppl and I feel you can change minds out there.
I love your vulnerability and williness to share your journey. Thank you for sharing and allowing us to celebrate your stories.
What a beautiful testament to tolerance, compassion, and the enduring power of love.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO 🥹♥️ such incredible points. thank you for sharing another very personal part of your journey/life Amanda! Sending love to your beautiful family!
True love. It’s beautiful how you support and accept each other. Wishing y’all the best! 💗
This was really really well done. Thank you for sharing your experience and letting us in on your journey.
I live in the same town and so I know that things have not been easy for you and Shaye. I am a Christian (Lutheran) and I agree with you that Jesus would be behind you supporting you both. I wish you and your family all the best and that any negativity by others avoid you all. I'm in my 70's and the world is very different from when I grew up in the uptight '50s. Some people are afraid of change or anything they don't know about. Thank you for putting this out there and I hope it will educate people and give them understanding.
I think you have the wrong Bible God is not supporting what is going on here, Satan is supporting this. God did not make a mistake when he created this man. Sorry people are wrong.
@@Momo-cd5pw That's your twisted interpretation of the word of Christ. Maybe go back and reread your Bible.
Bless you Robert! ❤❤❤
@@juststeph6940 jesus isn’t hateful like you
Jesus does not support sin, but calls us to repentance. Our true identity is in Christ, not what the world is trying to convince us.
Amanda, this vlog is beautifully said. Peace and love to your family. 🕊️💕
Yes! Yes! Yes! It’s about educating yourself on the subject! Most of us have never had to think about it until you know someone close to you going through it. Thank You so much for sharing your journey, heart, thoughts and education with us!♥️♥️♥️ Much love to you both.
I love ALL OF THIS! Thank you for sharing your story so openly! WOW!
So inspiring. Wishing you both well on this journey. Thank you also for sharing the stories and pieces of history that depict the spectrum of gender. I find that fascinating and helpful in bringing awareness that this is part of humanity for much longer than we know.
Thank you for being a thoughtful, wise, and discerning person and modeling true compassion, love and a commitment to understanding. Your words and example are powerful examples of how to create a world that is safer, healthier and more full of love for everyone.
Omg......I'm going threw the same thing. Wow this sounds like our relationship. This bring tears to my eyes. Thanks for being you.
So very proud of you and Shaye , Amanda. Thank-you for sharing your wisdom that you are continuing to gather. Love to you and your family and may God continue to bless you. ❤️
I admire your honesty and openness. Your words and expression are very well thought out and empathetic. I wish you both a life of love and happiness.
You’re both beautiful inside and out I’m so glad to share this existence with y’all ❤
Thank you so much for your willingness to share your journey, both of you. Wishing you all the very best.
Love your idea of "Humanizing" trans people (but of course some of us have always known that we are all humans first of all and everything else about us comes next). I totally agree that by supporting our transgender community we are uplifting humanity in general. And although I don't call myself a Christian I am absolutely sure this is what Jesus (and the Buddha and Krishna) would have wanted us to do and would have done themselves. Your story and strength is so inspiring and even more inspiring knowing that you are both ex-Mormons. 🙂
Beautifully said Amanda. Love is love. Love will conquer all. By you and Shaye sharing your journey you are teaching us all so much. Thank you. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
I love the way you talk about this subject! I'm so glad I found you! The way I see it, trans people are showing us what is in need of change in our society! Gender role can be oppressive and not for everyone. In my mariage the role are fluid depending on what makes sense for each other in the moment. Thank for sharing your experience, and mostly to share it with such deep love and calm. It's very healing! Much Love to your family!
Found yall today and binging your videos. Yall are seriously beautiful people!! So happy that Shaye has a partner like you. Sharing the experience from your side is so needed. ❤❤
Also, the quality of yalls content is top notch.
I am so glad I found you guys. You have such a beautiful family and relationship, and even looking at older videos I love your home and your geeky interests!! My favorite channel now
I’m very happy for both of you. I hope you continue to grow. I myself a concerned with the transgender movement, but am open to learning. I try to live with as much grace in myself for other people.
Kudos to you honey! Love is love! Your children are very intelligent and know that they are truly loved and not letting gender play any role in this. Praying for the best to y’all! You got this. Love 💕 y’all!
I think your take on the situation is beautiful. I wish for all the happiness in the world for both of you! You deserve happiness and acceptance and love!!!
I clicked on this video not sure what to expect and was happy with what i watched. Great job!
Shaye and You are extremely fortunate to have one another! This is a very beautiful story and I am so happy to be able to see the strength in your selves and your marriage.
Well said Amanda. Ty! I hope Shaye is doing well in recovery and it is so wonderful you have each other. ❤
Hello Amanda and Shaye. I loved this beautiful insightful video. Thanks for making it. My husband and I have relatives and friends in the Pride Community ( easier for me than always saying LBGTQ community because I tend to scramble the letters. ) Anyway, I found this video especially touching. I'm a retired early childhood educator and social worker, who mostly worked in Child Protective Service. I have a lot of experience with children and it's easy to see that your adorable gorgeous kids are happy and well cared for. No one can ask for more!
Great video. Love the powerful love and empathy, love the intelligence and humor in the editing, what a wonderful example of humanity!
Congratulations on your transition! I found your channel today and it warms my heart. Your family is beautiful, thank you for standing up for all the trans out there. ❤️
Love you guys and that you’re sharing your stories. (Just a side note of love I don’t think you need the memes to back up your voice, it’s loud and important enough just as you are) x
thank you Amanda, I cannot my feelings in words, but your words, how I feel, my confusing gets "words", thank you, please Keep us updated as much as possible
sorry for my Englisch
I can't say enough positive about this video and your kindness and humanity! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your story. As the mother of transgender son, I find hope in your story. I wish you all the best in your journey and may you find the light in the times of darkness.
I found your channel through watching your story on Mormon Stories. I really appreciated how much information you both shared about your experience. I feel like i am a very excepting person but was very confused by all the different lables and each personal experiences, but was worried if i asked a question that it would be rude or come across as judging. My adopted son said he thought he was Pan sexual when he was 10 years old. I had never heard this term before because i was living under a rock trying to survive being a stay at home mom and dealing with some other violent behaviors that my son would show. So i had no clue what they were talking about, but tried to reasure them i would always love them, and if they still felt this way when they were older and had a bit more time getting to know themselves we could continue to talk about it. They got older and during the teen years it was super tough for me. My son would get very angry if i asked questions and accused me of not being supportive. I was just asking because i did not know, and was genuinely curious. I really liked your interview on mormon Stories because you did mention that some people are genuinely curious. I am so happy to have found your channel as well. I love how you both are connected, and committed. I am just very moved by this video and what you talk about. I feel i can learn more about this all through your experiences you both share.
I hope Shay is doing better everyday after the surgery. So breave and empowering. As for my son, they are 18 now, living on their own. They are on their journey of life, just like each of us are. I feel your videos will continue to help answer some of my possible questions i might have with my relationship with my son. Love what it can become. Thanks.
I really REALLY appreciate that you and Shaye share your journey and you answered many of my questions that I had as I followed you through this process. I understand you supporting Shaye, I do too, however, a place I was getting stuck was are your needs being met? You touched on this when you mentioned your attraction and fluidity, if you are comfortable sharing more on this subject I think it may help me and others understand how you can be served in this relationship. You are SO giving, loving, open-minded and supportive and I hope that your needs are not put behind Shaye's, and that you can also be well served in your marriage. I support and applaud you both being brave and authentic and I look forward to learning more from you!
Yikes she didn’t reply saying her needs were met, this lady has gone above and beyond, she is not getting what she signed up for in her marriage, I’m concerned ppl feel backed into a corner to accept this in a partner. On one hand why should they, the person deceived them into a relationship. I also get the feeling everything is about “Shaye” like why should it be if 2 ppl are in a relationship
You’re such a beautiful couple. Makes me sad to see negative comments but you handle them with grace and kindness. You’re very intelligent and I’ve learned so much. Thank you for sharing
I love this ! Amanda, hope you do not mind that I sharing this link with my support groups ! Bless you two.
That story is truly something deep and amazing. Thank you so much for sharing so openly
This makes me so happy I'm crying I hope for your family to continue thriving and be happy and healthy 💗 💖
You are a lovely person. As someone born in the early 60's I never would dream that this would be possible. Things are changing for the better :)
I find this really beautiful... The word that kept coming up in my head when watching this video is "unconditional love" - love that is not bounded by any physical traits or label... Love that comes from the heart, without any condition... Thank you for sharing both of your journey... 💚
Wonderful video. I’m a 61 year old transgender woman I started transitioning @ 58 year’s old. Nothing about being transgender is easy but I’m lucky I have the support of my wonderful wife and children. We celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary in September and yes our relationship has changed but we are more committed to each other than ever.
Love is love, it defies, gender, religion, governments and a thousand other roadblocks. SO happy for your family ❤
This video was so well made, you are so well spoken! The editing was really good too :)
Thank you for sharing. I think you should write a book about this journey.
Loved what you said about learning a lot of gender theory and history but how you’ll never know how you’ll react to as situation until you’re in it. You’re very beautiful, empathetic and wise! Thanks for sharing your story!
So proud and excited for the both of you and your entire family! It’s great to see you standing by Shaye’s side. It is very special to have a partner who is so loving and devoted. And most importantly, that you won’t be leaving her or seeking out an intimate relationship with a man outside of your love and bond with Shaye.
I look forward to following your family’s journey and wish you all the best!!!
Brilliant talk, Amanda. If anyone or anything is intrusive it is the criticizing people and the one's intruding in to someone or something that has nothing to do with their ignorant life or thoughts. We are blessed and thank you for the time you spend with us outlining things because you don't have to, but letting us in your world is super cool. How can any outsider or anyone for that matter put down someone's very personal choice about their identity. An identity and choices is so individualized and deserves acceptance only! It's almost as absurd as criticizing someone who is not wearing the exact same clothes or exact outfit as we are wearing. Everyone wakes up every morning with choices what they're gonna wear or what they're gonna do so how can someone not understand those choices are different for everybody. I hope those are good analogies. I have two older self-riteous sisters that I tell you I cannot be around because of their close-mindedness and that is toxic.. i grew up with a critical mom so I vow to never critique my 17 year old daughter no matter what she comes up with. But anyway the moral of the story is live life, be healthy h][_
I meant live life, be healthy, happy and have fun. Had trouble editing my comment above. Live, love, laugh.❤❤
I love this so much. True love that is stronger than harmful social constructs. Watching this made me cry.
I love this video ❤ taking time to understand and discovering is a life lesson for many ideas we have assumed were the only way, thank you for sharing your story ❤️
All I can feel from this video is … LOVE! ❤️ Thank you and your family for that!
thank you for sharing with such clarity, conviction, and tenderness.
Wow, powerful. Thank you for your perspective and sharing your family’s lived experience.
My partner and I just celebrated our 5 year anniversary and only a few months ago he told me he might be trans (definitely questioning). I already identified as bi (or pan idc) so it wasn’t an issue for me that way, it’s just new and different. I also have been straight passing in this relationship so far, so there are people we would be coming out to who I would also be coming out to. That makes me a little nervous just because dating a guy I just kind of thought with certain people I would never come out to them. I know we are staying together, but I just don’t have many resources or people to talk to about this, so I really appreciate this video and your perspective!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you for having the courage to share your story!
You are teachers for all
Much Love for your family ♥️♥️♥️
here's to growth, acceptance, and love 🥂 thank you for making this video, amanda.
Your openness and acceptance will save lives. ❤ Originally came for the home content, staying for the complete honesty and strong family unit.
You really did alot of research. I have family and friends who don't even care to understand people's journey's, but I truly admire your family's story. Loving someone while they feel comfortable to be their true self with you and around you. Thats love. ❤. Hope your family's journey is filled with joy and happiness onward and may every trial make you stronger together 😊
Your story is awesome. I personally never experienced transgender, in myself or someone close...Until I was way into my 20s, I didn´t even know it existed. And 20 years later, it still is a mistery to me. That is why I feel so curious and compassionate towards people that experience transgender...And as I discoverd through the story of your family, also what the loved ones of the transgender person experience. I respect your words and your journey greatly, and I thank you for your courage. Courage for living your truth, which must be painful and heavy on its own, but also courage to come out on the internet and share it with everyone who has the eager open heart to embrace it. Thank you for bringing this incredible and positive message to all of us. I hope you find love and joy in your journey. I am happy to support it. Sincerely, Maria.
You should be commended for your openness and your honestly about your feelings and this journey that your family is on, in a world that is full of judgement and hate. You are very brave. Kudos to you. ❤❤❤❤❤
The courage and love you share is beyond amazing. I haven't watched all of your videos and don't know if you still believe in God but there is something divine in the fact that you found each other. I'm sure you run into a lot of hate but all I see is the power of love. Hugs to you all.
You have a heart of gold! I could listen to you talk for hours💛
I love your honesty, openness and overall curiosity. ❤❤❤❤
Sending you warm hugs and beautiful journey together❤❤❤❤
So wonderfully explained. Wishing you both much love on this amazing journey.
This is a beautiful story of your experience. Thank you so very much for sharing. 💜
I've come to look forward so much to your videos about how your family is navigating Shaye's transition. I cannot be more grateful for your courageous and honest sharing. You are putting so much good into the world & the cheeky bits are a great reminder that all of this isn't heavy and painful. Some of the things we hold onto are just plain silly!
Obviously it’s not expected, but I would love to hear how your families are welcoming the transition? I can assume just by societal norms some haven’t received it so well but I’m hoping I’m wrong and all have been just as lovely as you.
How beautifully and lovingly spoken. God bless you and your family. ❤
Such a heartfelt story ! It is complicated and confusing, but like you said, until you actually have to live it you can’t know how you’ll act and what you’ll do. And you two are very beautiful, strong and so blessed !!!
Thank you for this video! You said everything so beautifully!
Sending so much love to you both on your journey!❤
You make me smile Amanda. You are so intelligent and look at the world through history, logic, facts, kindness and compassion. It is so easy to judge, shame and take the high road. But you are truly an amazing person in so many ways and always look deeper than the very surface. I wish more people were like you! How amazing this world would be to have more kind and accepting people in it. I know that if i was to ever go on a deep personal journey of self discovery to find my true self, then i would want a person like you beside me. You and Shaye are beautiful people and I am very happy for you both.
What a beautiful testimony to the power of love 💕. Thank you for being vulnerable and open as you share your true, authentic selves with the world.
You couldn't of said this any better! What a beautiful story!! How can you not love this story ❤
Just found your channel after researching Mormonism (i have my own religious trauma... Even Used to go to Kenneth Copelands church lol)
But ....just.....wow
The way you speak
I admire your ability to learn and grow with your partner (and yourself! Thats not easy either)
Yall have a beautiful family full of love 🖤
Now, i gotta get back to binging your videos lol 🙏🩷☺️
I’ve watched several of your videos this morning, and feel compelled to say how beautiful and uplifting they have been. Thank you for sharing your story with us, and explaining what must be difficult feelings so very, very well. I hope you’ll carry on making family vlogging videos in the future. The open-mouth dog kiss was both hilarious and gross haha! Love to all 🇬🇧
Thank you for sharing your story so that there are more positive light towards our community. Your love goes beyond gender and it’s truly beautiful to witness. ❤
Love is Love is Love is Love! Thank you for teaching us how to Love!! What a beautiful family!!!
