We are sharing my journey with gender affirming procedures because we want to give a transparent sense of what this process has been like for us. As I state in the video, this is not an endorsement that surgery is something necessary or even good for everyone to undergo. This channel represents my experience and my experience alone, so I don’t claim to speak for other trans people in any way. -Shaye
Shay you were a very handsome man. But you are an absolutely gorgeous woman. Your eyes are even brighter. It’s like your inner beauty and confidence is really coming out. I know this had to take a lot of guts and courage. I applaud you for sharing your life with all of us. And Amanda you are one strong supportive person. You both are beautiful. I’m glad you are sharing your journey with us. A lot of people myself included do not understand a lot of this. But with you being so open honest and vulnerable it is helping us to understand. And I want to thank you for that. I’ve never judged I’ve just always been curious. Like how does one know? What kind emotions are they dealing with? And then most of all I think to myself do they have a support system without being judged. My bonus child I believe is going through this as an adult. My spouse is not supportive. It really bothers me. Watching you has given me some insight of how just maybe I can help them.
What you’ve felt like on the inside is becoming more apparent to us all. Beautiful. I am an 85 year old woman who is becoming educated. Thank you. Carry on! ❤❤
Hi! Love your content! I'm 80, just started HRT 4 weeks ago, already feeling better! My skin is softer and less oily, my chest is beginning to "stir". I may never have such surgeries, but the benefits of HRT, I believe, will still be a comfort to me. I may have to depend on a wig and wardrobe to present more feminine, or, at least androgynous! Best of luck to you both! I will subscribe!❤❤❤
Shaye is so beautiful. I’m so grateful she’s able to have these procedures that make her feel more comfortable in her skin. And Amanda, besides being very beautiful herself, is such a wonderful partner. What an amazing journey this couple is on! I’m grateful that they choose to share it with us.
Shaye looks like a model to me. As a fellow shy person, I love seeing her go from being really shy to being more comfortable talking to the camera... more confident. 💕
I love watching this couple, this is as bold as a person can be, to find their True self, one question I do have is, and Forgive my ignorance or maybe I shouldn't go there, but will voice adjusting be part of the transition to meet the closest possible to that of a Woman voice? Can that be adjusted surgically or is it strictly through personal training and coaching?
@@Defender78 As with any part of transition, it is entirely up to the individual. I'm not sure how Shaye feels about her voice, but I myself am working towards a more feminine voice. I have been to a speech therapist to help, but it mostly comes down to practice, and trail and error. There are two different surgeries around that area. One is the tracheal shave, which reduces the size of the adam's apple to a feminine standard, but doesn't change the voice. The other is voice feminisation surgery, which hightens the pitch that you speak at. It's important to note though, that even after this surgery, you will need to train it so it won't sound coarse. It's also not uncommon for your total range of pitch to be decreased, unfortunately. Because of this potential risk, as well as the fact that you have to train anyway, it's recommended to put as much effort into training as you can, before jumping to surgery. Personally, I believe that I won't need to vocal surgery. I can get it to where I want it to be, I just can't maintain it yet. So practice will be key (too bad I internally cringe whenever I try...). I do plan on getting the tracheal shave though. While shifting your voice into a higher register actually moves the adam's apple up naturally, and can somewhat hide it, I'm just worried about it being visable when I'm not speaking.
Amanda, the love you have for Shaye reminds me of my wife. I’m going to be 37 this week and I’ve been with my lovely wife Jordan since 2014. I began my mtf transition in 2022 and day by day I’m just happier and happier. Just HRT and social transition. FFS is something I want but it’s scary too. Thanks for being so open about this journey. I would have understood if she couldn’t do this and left me. She didn’t. Transition is such a beautiful but overwhelming and terrifying process. It would have been so much harder and lonelier without my wife. I love the love you two share. Keep shining your light. You’re both beautiful souls and I look forward to all your new content. Lots of love. 🫶 -Sara
Thank you so much for taking the time to film these little interviews as a way of documenting your journey! It helps so many people to have you both as a wonderful example of pure LOVE!
The love you both give is… amazing. I am 57. Started my HRT and blockers 8 months ago and currently in a messy divorce after 23 years of marriage. She said she didn’t sign up for this, and walked out the door. Amanda’s gift to you Shaye is a testament of what unconditional love means. When she looks at you and talks, you can see it. Her heart is in yours, unconditionally. You both are a gift to everyone of us who are following your journey. I can’t imagine how your second surgery can beautify you more than you already are ! A transgender woman here in the Rocky Mountains in Canada, wishing you the best and speediest recovery. Thank you so much for your videos, your understanding and your time.
I just love Amanda. I don’t think she gives herself enough credit for being just as wonderful of a person as she is. She shows her love in so many different ways. You can tell she’s just such a caretaker, and she loves you Shaye, to the moon and back! ❤
It’s very brave to share your journey with us. You’re both so intimate on Camera. It’s like you’re chatting directly to us. Amanda are such a lovely person and so thoughtful and deep in how you approach everything you’re a really wonderful couple both of you. I wish you the very best with your surgery, but Amanda is right how you feel really comes from the inside. The outside does matter but the inside is where things really change. Sharing your journey with us I’m sure helps so many people find their beautiful insides as well. Sending you both love.
From here, Shaye already looks STUNNINGLY beautiful! I can’t wait to see what you’re having done. I just can’t imagine you getting any prettier! 😍 Amanda is gorge too!!!
Beautiful both of you, I'm 70 years of age and I think things could have been better back in the 80s when I dreamed of transitioning but did not like now have the money. Shaye, I wish like you go through with surgery you have been going through now for the last three years. beautiful.
There is a comment just above yours of a 80 year old lady who just started hormone replacement therapy. Maybe that’s something you still could consider. Wish you all the best! ❤
Shaye, I know you already had your surgery but I hope you are healing well! Shaye and Amanda you love for each other is just amazing. I’m glad you’re there for each other to walk through life. I always look forward to your videos. It honestly helps me to be more open and understanding of transgender women and men and have honest conversations with myself about being an ally and what that means. I believe I’ve come far especially coming from a fundamental Christian background but I still have ways I can improve. I first fell in love with you decorating your home, before your Mormon Stories episode, but I love this side of your CZcams too, maybe more. Thanks ladies!
You two demonstrate the best example of healthy communication between two people who are suppose to truly love each other. Good luck and blessings on your surgery shaye, and I hope everything goes seamlessly and you have the speediest recovery. Namaste to the both of you beautiful ladies.🌞❤
I just want to say that I think that you both are such beautiful women inside and out. Shaye, I just have to say that I think that yo have one of the most gorgeous, sincere, and amazing smiles that I have ever seen. the way that the sun is hitting you and then the sunbeams that you emit into the world...just beautiful! The way that Amanda looks at you and the way you look back at her...that speaks volumes! I could only dream of being half as beautiful as both of you! Thank you for all the rays of sunshine you both put into the world!
You both are beautiful, inside and out. And reading the other comments from older trans women has given me hope. I'm a 71 year old trans man who transitioned late and still have another surgery I desperately want. Maybe this will give me the courage to go forward! Thank you!
You both are so beautiful inside and out. Shaye, your journey was meant to be. You are so brave to live your life authentically, and thus far, you look and sound amazing. Love to you both from Royal Oak, MI ❤
Congratulations! Would love a video of what you did that was helpful post-op to make recovery as comfortable as possible. My wife is having surgery later this year and I’m feeling all those feelings with you!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I find it fascinating and it is educating me on the things individuals/couples go through when they are "different" from the "norm". However, while I starting watching for education, I find myself coming back and to watch the love between both of you. I see the work that Amanda has had to go through in understanding this change and showing you the unconditional love she has for you and her family. I see the appreciation from Shaye and the need to make sure Amanda is comfortable with every step. It's beautiful to watch and is very apparent in your videos. I pray that you continue to grow and love each and always cherish each other because I put myself in your shoes and although my husband is the love of my life, I think it would be so difficult for me to go though this. In the end, I believe I would, because I can't imagine not having my husband in my life and if this is the only way I could so that he is happy, I would. But it takes a love so grand as the love you both have for each other. Cherish it because it does not come around often.
Beautiful women both inside and out. It’s refreshing to watch your channel. It’s so full of honesty, transparency, positivity, and understanding. The support and love you have for one another is enviable. Speaking of envy, I wish my hair looked as good as Shaye’s.
I am so happy for you Shaye!..To see that you have such a phenomenal support system in your life!..Your biggest cheerleader is clearly Amanda, and she is also number one out of your whole support system!.. It’s so nice to see that when someone is struggling and is trying so hard to find themselves, and their true self at that, they also have the love and encouragement needed when navigating throughout this journey!..I only wish that everyone who is going through what Shaye has, also had the amazing support that she has!..How incredibly awesome would that be?.. You are both truly blessed to have each other!..and I wish you both every happiness that this world has to offer!.. You guys have a beautiful family and are such an inspiration!..I have no doubt whatsoever, that you guys are helping so many people through your honesty and vulnerability and your courage to put your lives on all social media platforms!.. By doing so you will give others the courage needed to line up and match how they look on the outside with how they feel on the inside!.. I love your channel and content and I thank you for sharing!..❤❤❤.. I will also be praying for Shaye and her upcoming surgery!..Praying for success and a speedy and pain free recovery!..😊
Praying the surgery is smooth for you both! Also, that Shaye will heal quickly and be as pain free as possible, and Amanda will know that she is helpful and be easy on herself! You are both so WONDERFUL and I always pray for the easiest road possible in your journey! 🙏🏻
Thank you again for sharing your experience. I just had FFS last month and it proved harder than I expected. I unfortunately went through the entire surgery and first couple of weeks of healing by myself in another country and then traveled back home. I’m so happy with my results so far and look forward to when all the swelling goes away and feeling comes back. Speedy recovery Shaye. Love you guys.
Shea you are gorgeous and you can hear peace and comfort coming through your voice. You literally are slaying it. Simply stunning. I’m so grateful you and Amanda are still together and love. Will always follow your journey.
Shaye, you are stunning, first of all. I have watched your journey the whole time. You and Amanda need to know that you really are changing the world! Secondly, I am a completely straight woman, and you are so inspirational even to me! I love that you two don’t let anyone dictate your happiness. Keep it up you two, I love you both!
Blessings on your surgery. May you heal on the inside as well as the outside and feel more like the true you as each day passes. My positive thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!! ❤
Im a new subscriber and i just want to say i support you doing whatever makes you feel happy and normal in your journey!!! I fell in love with your channel because of the love you have for each other… you are both amazing people!
You are both so brave and so loving. Shaye shows such appreciation for Amanda when it would be so easy to be caught up in her own journey. Really admire you both. Xxx
Being so open about such a personal part of your life is beautiful and amazing. From my end I find it most fascinating, enlightening and I'm so happy that you are both honouring yourselves.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. You both are soo beautiful. Wishing Shaye gentle healing and Amanda lots of good energy during this time. Love to both of you.💖💖💖
God speed to you and your family as you take another step in this journey. You’re very brave. I’m thankful you have such a supportive family and I’m sure you are too. In the end love wins. Be strong.
Shaye, my thoughts are with you and all the family on your next step to be the true you. wishing you all the best and a healthy recovery and can't wait to see the next updates. 💐
Such a beautiful video! ❤Thank you for sharing your journey with the world. Freedom is self-determination. And as you both said, it's for each person to choose what beauty means to them, and what they need to feel good in their own skin.
You two are so amazing, thoughtful, entertaining, and compelling. What a wonderful aesthetic you have. I value your inner selves, even though your appearances are stunning.
Amanda!! I want to be you when I grow up! You are so supportive, loving and knowledgeable!! I use every single one of your videos as a lesson that I get to apply to my daughter and I’m just so grateful!! Kate will be starting puberty blockers within the next year, which I’m so grateful we can do for her and I feel like I’m the lucky one that gets to come along side her and just cheer her on! Thank you both!!
what an exceptionally extraordinary journey you both have aligned with; brave and intense; vulnerable and fierce; both ends of intense emotions plus all the nuance ones inbetween; adding on parenting too, to the mix and wow! y’all are truly leaning into being human beings in this particular physical manifestation✨❤️🔥✨❤️🔥..
Shaye, you look great to me, the plastic surgeon definitely knows what he is doing. Amanda is so incredibly supportive in helping you both (and us), navigate through these processes. Feeling really confident that all will be well. Question: I was wondering if both of you have thought about taking some courses in meditation Ike TM, it would be fascinating to see what spiritual connections this would add to your souls journey. Thank you for the update Amanda and Shaye, have a safe trip.👍❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your brave and - for me still very unusual - journey… your story is very important for learning and acceptance of the society. Many greetings from Austria and good luck!!!
Thank you both, for continuing to share with us 😊. Today I received word that the Nuffield Brighton (UK) hospital have increased their surgical capacity. They're able to offer me an outpatient appointment, within the next few weeks..I'm finally going to be considered for GRS! It's been such long wait - I was first referred in 2022. I've been able to save enough money to start having Laser Hair removal again, & my is BMI is an acceptable 24.4. (the maximum allowed/preferred by the NHS is 28). Anywho, I was just really chuffed, & wanted to share. I hope that's okay? Best wishes to you both 😊.
I just found you guys on CZcams and have watched a lot of your content. I just wanted to say you both are amazing! You are both absolutely beautiful inside and out. And thank you for sharing this life journey. It’s very inspirational for me. I am a cis gender woman that’s coming to terms with my own bisexuality. Shaye your story of facing your fears and shame to become your authentic self really touches my heart. And to see such a healthy relationship with Amanda and all her unconditional love is inspiring since for the past 10 years I have been chronically single. Well given up on love would be more accurate. So yeah thank you on different levels for sharing your life with people. Again very inspiring to me. Good luck 🍀 with your upcoming surgery, I’m sure it’ll be a success!
Amanda, I can hear (and see) that you’re slowly getting over your cold and sounding much better. Apologies for my comment on your previous video, the cold threw me off and it sounded like you were on the verge of crying at any moment - watery eyes, shaky voice, etc., but it all makes sense now. Regardless, what you’re going through is tough and kudos to both of you for approaching it with empathy, open minds, and willingness to share your journey with the world - God knows we need it. In the name of openness (and perhaps my own personal curiosity), Shaye, I’m quite interested in the specifics of your surgeries. You seem to talk about them quite vaguely - which of course, is completely up to you since it’s your face, your life, and your channel. My sibling is going through this and is considering FFS. If you’d be willing to share, I’m sure the community would be interested to know what you’ve actually had done. I know you said “everything” but what exactly does that entail? Besides the typical ‘male features’ like jawline and browbone reshaping, did you have a nose job, filler/fat transfer or anything else? If your surgeon would be open to this, it would be great to see more footage from your initial consultation, as well as well as from future consultations. I’d personally love to know because you look gorgeous, I’m trying to educate myself on this topic and offer suport/advice to my sibling.
Any kind of medical decision is so personal... I tend to shy away from medical procedures for myself, but it's so inspiring what can be done to help those for whom it's the right choice! May the procedure and healing process go as smoothly as possible!
Admire both of you for how much you treat each other with so much love and respect On a scale of 100 treat each other on a level of 1000 keep up the good work You are the best of the best
Thanks for sharing your story and experience - your interview on Mormon Stories helped answer some questions for me about trans individuals and I think these interviews are so great for helping others understand too.
I really love you both sharing your journey. I have to say I haven't understood transgender very well. Then one day I came across your videos. Now I watch you beautiful ladies all the time. I think Amanda is just amazing with so much love and Shay it's beautiful to see the person you are inside coming to life on the outside. What a beautiful family ❤️
I believe everything will go well for Shaye and Amanda and your family. I've said a prayer for each of you. I look forward to following your increasing happiness in the future. Cheers! BG. :)
So crazy to follow your guys journey, as this was us back in like 2001!!! My boy told me, after 5 years, he wasn't a boy. I did NOT take it well at first (it was not nearly accepted then as it is now) but soon after decided i didn't care and just wanted to be with this person no matter how they presented. And almost a quarter of a century later, here we are! A bit different then we'd planned, okay, A LOT different than we planned, 😂 but still deeply, deeply in love! ❤ I couldn't have asked for a more amazing person!

I love you two so much! Just the thought of you makes me smile! ❤❤
It was meant to be, you are stunning! 🎉😊

One more step towards looking like the person you’ve always been Shaye ! So happy for you ♥️

Right? Why do soo many people feel soo comfortable telling other adults how they should live their life? 🤯

I really appreciate your videos and everything you both share. Wishing you all the best in your upcoming surgery!!!

I just found your channel, and I love your story. Bravery is the word that comes to mind
Good luck Shaye and hope your healing is swift and not too stressful for you. Love you both xx
Wishing you all the best with your upcoming procedure. I so enjoy following your journey. It has been hugely enlightening. 💕
Praying the surgery is smooth for you both! Also, that Shaye will heal quickly and be as pain free as possible, and Amanda will know that she is helpful and be easy on herself! You are both so WONDERFUL and I always pray for the easiest road possible in your journey! 🙏🏻
Thank you again for sharing your experience. I just had FFS last month and it proved harder than I expected. I unfortunately went through the entire surgery and first couple of weeks of healing by myself in another country and then traveled back home. I’m so happy with my results so far and look forward to when all the swelling goes away and feeling comes back. Speedy recovery Shaye. Love you guys.
I love this for you!! Sending peaceful blessings and positive healing vibes your way! 💜 💜 💜
Shea you are gorgeous and you can hear peace and comfort coming through your voice. You literally are slaying it. Simply stunning. I’m so grateful you and Amanda are still together and love. Will always follow your journey.
Shaye, you are stunning, first of all. I have watched your journey the whole time. You and Amanda need to know that you really are changing the world! Secondly, I am a completely straight woman, and you are so inspirational even to me! I love that you two don’t let anyone dictate your happiness. Keep it up you two, I love you both!
Blessings on your surgery. May you heal on the inside as well as the outside and feel more like the true you as each day passes. My positive thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!! ❤
I love your shorts-they crack me up!
Thank You Shaye and Amanda for sharing your journey. Your message of Love is greatly appreciated and needed in the world! 😘💕❤️❤️❤️
Im a new subscriber and i just want to say i support you doing whatever makes you feel happy and normal in your journey!!! I fell in love with your channel because of the love you have for each other… you are both amazing people!
Your videos always make me so happy. It’s a joy to see you becoming more and more your authentic self. It must feel amazing.
You are both so brave and so loving. Shaye shows such appreciation for Amanda when it would be so easy to be caught up in her own journey. Really admire you both. Xxx
You are absolutely STUNNING!!!! Your face just radiates beauty. ❤️😍
Being so open about such a personal part of your life is beautiful and amazing. From my end I find it most fascinating, enlightening and I'm so happy that you are both honouring yourselves.
❤ I love both of you. I hope the surgery and future surgeries go well. Thank you for sharing both your journeys.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. You both are soo beautiful. Wishing Shaye gentle healing and Amanda lots of good energy during this time. Love to both of you.💖💖💖
Thank you for sharing. Love seeing the love between you two. Love is unconditional. You two are a wonderful example of this. 💖 💖
Thank you both for sharing your experiences!
Good luck and happy healing during this next step!
Amanda you ROCK!your both so sweet and im so happy Shaye is on this earth
God speed to you and your family as you take another step in this journey. You’re very brave. I’m thankful you have such a supportive family and I’m sure you are too. In the end love wins. Be strong.
Shaye, my thoughts are with you and all the family on your next step to be the true you. wishing you all the best and a healthy recovery and can't wait to see the next updates. 💐
I like your videos...they are so real and honest! Thank you
Sending lots of love and a safe and speedy recovery!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Both of you are such amazing creatures of joy to listen to and see the faces of. Loving the lipstick. ❤
Such a beautiful video! ❤Thank you for sharing your journey with the world. Freedom is self-determination. And as you both said, it's for each person to choose what beauty means to them, and what they need to feel good in their own skin.
You two are so amazing, thoughtful, entertaining, and compelling. What a wonderful aesthetic you have. I value your inner selves, even though your appearances are stunning.
Amanda!! I want to be you when I grow up! You are so supportive, loving and knowledgeable!! I use every single one of your videos as a lesson that I get to apply to my daughter and I’m just so grateful!! Kate will be starting puberty blockers within the next year, which I’m so grateful we can do for her and I feel like I’m the lucky one that gets to come along side her and just cheer her on! Thank you both!!
Amanda, can definitely relate to being a worrier! Best wishes to you both! ♥️
Shaye is beautiful 🤩 I love hearing from y’all it’s helped me understand more!
what an exceptionally extraordinary journey you both have aligned with; brave and intense; vulnerable and fierce; both ends of intense emotions plus all the nuance ones inbetween;
adding on parenting too, to the mix and wow! y’all are truly leaning into being human beings in this particular physical manifestation✨❤️🔥✨❤️🔥..
Best wishes and feel better soon! ❤
So here for the transparency. Big love from australia to your family
I am so impressed and thankful for the openness on your channel!
Shaye, you look great to me, the plastic surgeon definitely knows what he is doing. Amanda is so incredibly supportive in helping you both (and us), navigate through these processes. Feeling really confident that all will be well. Question: I was wondering if both of you have thought about taking some courses in meditation Ike TM, it would be fascinating to see what spiritual connections this would add to your souls journey. Thank you for the update Amanda and Shaye, have a safe trip.👍❤️
Sending healing thoughts to the both of you!❤
Wow, I never would have guessed Shaye needed any kind of revision. She's so pretty already! I can't wait to see the results.
You both are such beautiful souls💕
Good luck and all the best to you both ❤
I will be holding you close in thought and prayer as you move through this surgery process, Shaye and Amanda:). You are truly an inspiration to me:)
Thank you so much for sharing your brave and - for me still very unusual - journey… your story is very important for learning and acceptance of the society. Many greetings from Austria and good luck!!!
Will be saying an extra prayer for you guys for your upcoming surgery. ❤️ always
Thank you both, for continuing to share with us 😊. Today I received word that the Nuffield Brighton (UK) hospital have increased their surgical capacity. They're able to offer me an outpatient appointment, within the next few weeks..I'm finally going to be considered for GRS! It's been such long wait - I was first referred in 2022. I've been able to save enough money to start having Laser Hair removal again, & my is BMI is an acceptable 24.4. (the maximum allowed/preferred by the NHS is 28). Anywho, I was just really chuffed, & wanted to share. I hope that's okay? Best wishes to you both 😊.
You're beautiful, Shaye. Thank you both for this conversation.
You look beautiful. I’m so happy for you.
I just found you guys on CZcams and have watched a lot of your content. I just wanted to say you both are amazing! You are both absolutely beautiful inside and out. And thank you for sharing this life journey. It’s very inspirational for me. I am a cis gender woman that’s coming to terms with my own bisexuality. Shaye your story of facing your fears and shame to become your authentic self really touches my heart. And to see such a healthy relationship with Amanda and all her unconditional love is inspiring since for the past 10 years I have been chronically single. Well given up on love would be more accurate. So yeah thank you on different levels for sharing your life with people. Again very inspiring to me.
Good luck 🍀 with your upcoming surgery, I’m sure it’ll be a success!
YOU ARE JUST A STUNNING WOMAN SHAYE. ENJOY YOUR NEW LIFE AND YOUR NEW PHYSICAL BEAUTY.
Love this family so much! Love is love ❤
Amanda, I can hear (and see) that you’re slowly getting over your cold and sounding much better. Apologies for my comment on your previous video, the cold threw me off and it sounded like you were on the verge of crying at any moment - watery eyes, shaky voice, etc., but it all makes sense now. Regardless, what you’re going through is tough and kudos to both of you for approaching it with empathy, open minds, and willingness to share your journey with the world - God knows we need it.
In the name of openness (and perhaps my own personal curiosity), Shaye, I’m quite interested in the specifics of your surgeries. You seem to talk about them quite vaguely - which of course, is completely up to you since it’s your face, your life, and your channel. My sibling is going through this and is considering FFS. If you’d be willing to share, I’m sure the community would be interested to know what you’ve actually had done. I know you said “everything” but what exactly does that entail? Besides the typical ‘male features’ like jawline and browbone reshaping, did you have a nose job, filler/fat transfer or anything else?
If your surgeon would be open to this, it would be great to see more footage from your initial consultation, as well as well as from future consultations. I’d personally love to know because you look gorgeous, I’m trying to educate myself on this topic and offer suport/advice to my sibling.
And Shaye is slaying!
Any kind of medical decision is so personal... I tend to shy away from medical procedures for myself, but it's so inspiring what can be done to help those for whom it's the right choice! May the procedure and healing process go as smoothly as possible!
Your so beautiful Shaye, inside and out❤❤❤
Admire both of you for how much you treat each other with so much love and respect On a scale of 100 treat each other on a level of 1000 keep up the good work You are the best of the best
I could not love this more 💞 Much love 🙏🏼
So here for the comedy era! All the best with the surgery and the healing & caring to both of you & your family!
Thanks for sharing your story and experience - your interview on Mormon Stories helped answer some questions for me about trans individuals and I think these interviews are so great for helping others understand too.
I really love you both sharing your journey. I have to say I haven't understood transgender very well. Then one day I came across your videos. Now I watch you beautiful ladies all the time. I think Amanda is just amazing with so much love and Shay it's beautiful to see the person you are inside coming to life on the outside. What a beautiful family ❤️
You both are such beautiful human beings... please tell us more about your early childhoods.. youre family life when you both were young...
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I know it can't be easy to be so public about it.
Wishing you happiness and health ❤
I hope it goes well and you are very happy with it.
I believe everything will go well for Shaye and Amanda and your family. I've said a prayer for each of you. I look forward to following your increasing happiness in the future. Cheers! BG. :)
Think it’s so amazing and thanks for sharing u truly look beautiful
You guys are awesome ❤
You are both such beautiful women!! ❤
So crazy to follow your guys journey, as this was us back in like 2001!!! My boy told me, after 5 years, he wasn't a boy. I did NOT take it well at first (it was not nearly accepted then as it is now) but soon after decided i didn't care and just wanted to be with this person no matter how they presented. And almost a quarter of a century later, here we are! A bit different then we'd planned, okay, A LOT different than we planned, 😂 but still deeply, deeply in love! ❤ I couldn't have asked for a more amazing person!
You look beautiful, Shaye!
