You are beautyful ,
your video make me cry good Luck beauty People!
After years of struggle with shame and denial, (50+ years) My wife of almost 20 years, asked me one direct question last weekend. She asked, "If I had a magic wand, and said that you have to make a choice, either live as a man 100% of the time, OR live as a woman 100% of the time, for the rest of your life, no more indecision.....Which do you choose?" It took less than 2 seconds for me to say woman! My first intake with a councilor is tomorrow to start my journey! Thank you for this video......
I'm so happy for you ❤
Thank you so much! I am learning so much from you! I am an old grandmother (82) but never tire to explore the human experience. The genuine love and your commitment to live the truth and embrace life as it unfolds as you share it so openly is remarkable! What a gift you share for us to learn, to think, to elevate our empathetic and enhance love for fellow men! Thank you ❤
Your comment is so thoughtful. I’m also a grandmother (59) and enjoy learning about lifestyles that I have never experienced. I really appreciate your well thought out comment and I couldn’t let it go without commenting to you. I see the channel holder saw your comment. I wish they had taken the time to comment back to you, if nothing but a “Thank you”.
Have a good day. 💕
Thank you for your kind reply and kindred spirit to add to a better world around us. ❤
I was born intersex, and my body stopped producing hormones in my 30’s. My doctor prescribed be female hormones to get me back on track and it was truly lifesaving! ❤
Same, but I was prescribed Testosterone (i joke that I'm AMAF: Assigned Male at 40). I suffered for 10 years on that poison until I realized what was going on. I went off T for 6 months before switching to Estradiol, and having no hormones is THE WORST. The night after I took my first dose I slept better than I had in years and I woke up feeling like a completely new person. The old me! I'm back, baby! I identify as trans-femme non-binary now.
My son started taking Testosterone at 18 years old. Before that, he used to cry at the drop of the hat at almost anything... very emotional (just like mom lol). And I remember after about 1 year on Testosterone he came to me and said "you wanna know something weird? I haven't cried in over 6 months." It BLEW MY MIND and was a very poignant example of how estrogen and testosterone just make people think and behave differently lol 💜😘 Thanks for sharing your story, as always. 🙌
I’m not trans but I’d take testosterone just to help with all the emotions and monthly issues I have.
My partner and I found yall's channel yesterday and it really feels like fate. My partner recently came out publicly as a nonbinary trans person and is in the process of exploring next steps in their transition. We arent religious, but my partners father is a devout catholic. You and your wifes videos have been a wonderful binge watch and this video couldnt have come out at a better time. Thank you for sharing your journey you are a stunningly beautiful human inside and out.
I am cis (I am queer tho!) But I found out in 2022 that I found out that I had high testosterone and low estrogen despite being afab. Hormone therapy changed my ENTIRE life. My mental health, my motivation, my feelings, my relationships. It improved every aspect of my life.
Hmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Oh wait this wasn’t clear- not sus of you! Curious for myself!
What does afab mean ?
@@debbiedebbie9473I was just about to ask the same thing...I'll ask Google if she doesn't respond in the next 24 hours....😂
afab = assigned female at birth
Shaye you are getting more and more beautiful with each video! So glad we now know the real you.
Shayeeee omg you are so dang beautiful! Literally inside and out😭😭 I've been with y'all since the very beginning and I just love you and Amanda to pieces!!! I'm rooting for you guys 💗💗💗
And can I just say how impressed I am with your editing skills🤯🤯 your videos are so amazing I wish some day I could get like you😂😂😂
Omg and Amanda!! Can we be friends!? You are absolutely amazing and such an amazing support!! You are also beautiful inside and out!!!😂😂I just love you both soooo much
I love your channel. You express such an insightful, balanced, healing perspective as a couple on trans issues. I highly recommend your channel to all people interested in the M2F transition. Please keep producing more videos. Love to you both and blessings to you and your loved ones. :)
When I was 26 they had to do a complete hysterectomy (which included my ovaries) due to severe Endometriosis that was causing bleeding/scar tissue on other major organs. Because I no longer have ovaries, I have been on estrogen ever since... Estratest till 2016 and Estradiol since 2016. I miss how much less emotional I was on Estratest, but when I tried to go back to it in 2020... I lost half my hair. As someone who's lived with various hormonal states, I can say it's amazing how much hormones affect us emotionally.
I can’t tell you how important your message is! You give me so much hope! I have an amazing 9 year old boy who since he was 2 has always felt like a girl. We are navigating day to day and just loving the heck out of his journey no matter what that looks like. But I look forward to your videos not only for information but just for a continued sense of hope. Like I told him “I’m your biggest support system, no matter what that looks like” if and when he does want to transition we will seek all the proper professionals and make sure it’s the right journey for him and then we’ll throw the biggest party. Weather he’s straight, gay or trans! ❤
Dear Shaye. Your vibe is so uplifting to me. As soon as I see and hear you, I get calmer. Much love and Happy New Year to you and your family.
It is refreshing to see a couple (like us in so many ways) that continues to thrive through transition and beyond. Happy new year to your family!🎉
I cry tears of joy and happiness with every video you both release. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story.
Insulin for Diabetes is HRT.
I love this couple and their journey.
They epitomise love of the unconditional kind.
Glad UA-cam randomly suggested their channel.
I’ve been binge watching.
I absolutely love you guys. 😊 you're both so made for each other and rally for each other. ❤ relationship goals 😊 you're my new favorite channel.
Thank you for being so vulnerable with your channel and spreading the awareness that is so needed
Fabulous hair ladies! Beautiful hearts too.
I just found out why it’s important to actually subscribe and watch you guys because it really helps me to have more confidence in transition and hormones. I see you guys have a good real reason for what you do. Thank you.
I'm really enjoying the following you. Thank you for being so open.
I just love watching your videos; you both have such beautiful ways of sharing your stories! Love from Atlanta!
This was such an insightful vlog. Most of us will never know of the struggles you have went through Shaye but I just know that God put you here for a reason. Your vlogs will help so many others who are going through what you did. You will be the shining light for them. You and Amanda are doing great work. ❤️
🙌🏼 I love this comment too! I had wanted to say some in my essay about your service to others - another goal of mine in 2024. You both are clearly serving others by showing up and sharing your journey and is so beautiful to witness 💖💖💖
Im a straight mama of 4 grown sons. I appreciate your discussion of this. Ive never experienced it, but i appreciate your love, honesty.. this counteracts the going narrative of preying on kids in bathrooms. I cant imagine the negative comments you've enduredforr your honesty.
Thank you for sharing your journey. ❤️ My wife came out as trans early last year and it has been such a comfort to know there is another couple going through a similar journey.
Thank you for sharing your journey with the world! Really looking forward to seeing how everything plays out for your beautiful family, so intriguing!
The year in photos. 🥰 What a beautiful transition! Shay you are truly beautiful inside and out. Amanda your love for Shay just beams out of you. What a beautiful soul you are.
I adore following your story.Thank you for sharing it. I think I always say some version of that but I guess that's okay. Clearly, I feel it deeply.
So good to be talking about the effects of hormones on our mental health and how it colours the perception of our selves. Thank you for sharing this with us! ❤
Wow this is so insightful I’m learning so much. So happy for your families journey
Love your hair curled shaye!
You both never stop inspiring me to continue my journey, much love to both of you!
What an insightful video! You both look beautiful!
I really love this style of Q&A between you and Amanda. ❤ Short and sweet and yet you covered so much in only 12 minutes.
Thank you, Kim ♥️
What a fabulous video guys, a few words and how you say them can make such a huge difference ( it’s not the social transition as much as the internal changes ) thank you.
I really appreciate the insight into your experiences, Shaye! I'm going to recommend this channel to my daughter (20.)
🙏❤🏳🌈🏳⚧🟦
I have been following your family for a few years, May I just say that I have never seen Shay smile so much. ❤
I look forward to every video you two make! Thanks for being you ❤
I am glad you both share this life experience on youTube. My daughter is transgender.
Just beautiful! Thank you both!
Absolutely love how open you guys are!! Speaking openly about your experiences with both infertility and transgender is so amazing, the amount of people who are experiencing the same or similar to hear from others gives hope and that we are not alone. My husband and I had infertility issues going thru IVF for our second child, I being diagnosed with PCOS and my husband now has been on HRT for Testosterone for over 12 years after a brain tumour. Our IVF baby turn 10 this year.
Just discovered y'all. It's amazing how similar our experiences are. Thank you for this, I don't feel so alone anymore.
I’m so glad I found this channel. It’s so beautiful and uplifting. These are lessons about life that are good for all types of couples. Learning to allow change and be flexible and love your partner for their inner self. Thank you so much for these videos 💞
Hi you all , I love following your journey. Often one of your videos makes me want to reflect. I appreciate this one about hrt. I have been on hormone replacement with estradiol since August 21. I am much older than you and my doctor has me on a low dose twice a week. It's interesting how you talk about how you've changed emotionally. I can see the difference as well. before I started transitioning, I was much more controlling, probably demanding. I too enjoy having more empathy and caring how others feel, not just about what I want. for me it's been subtle at times until I actually see myself reacting much different than before. as always I hope you all are well and happy. Marie
So happy for you Shay!
Thank you for sharing your story as a couple and for allowing us to accompany you through your journey.
I find myself in a very similar situation as a middle-aged trans-woman married to a woman. We've been together for over 20 years and married for 9 years (no children). It took some time (after I came out to my wife that I wanted to walk the world as a woman and that I've felt this way since I was 4 years old), but she was able to find some space in her heart to accept me as I am now. We found a way to make it work together and we've become closer as a couple than ever before.
Oooh there is SO much in this video - you covered a lot in a little under 12 minutes!!! Gave me food for thought that I am super grateful for, one of my goals for 2024 is to be more authentically me and now I am wondering if HRT might be a part of that as a 46 year old cis woman 🤔 who hadn't felt like myself for many years and I am 99% certain hormones play a role in that.
When Amanda spoke of personality it instantly made me think of Dr. Joe Dispenza's description: "personality is our Personal Reality".
I LOVE how affirming this chat was/is too 💖
The ending brought me full circle to my thoughts in the beginning about me showing up more as me - the cyclical nature of life and the balance within us individually and in couples. The LGBTQIA+ community, as a whole (you both included ), I think offers a lot of wisdom in living in balance of masculine and feminine energy regardless of gender binary 👌🏼
Seriously I could write an essay here in the comments but this is more than enough!!! Thanks once again for showing up here and sharing as candidly as you do. This world is a better place because you both are here 🤗😘 Sending so much love to you - here's to whatever 2024 has in-store 💪🏼🔥🥂✨🔥💖 Michelle Marie x
Yes, it would. For some reason the medical community hasn’t been open to helping women going through the peri-menopause/menopause transition with hormone therapy. Thankfully that is finally changing. I suggest watching Dr. Mary Claire Haver’s videos.
Love you guys, wish you the best.
Looking beautiful, Shaye!
As always, thank you so much for sharing.......your openness is so beautiful and so transformative to experience 🥹💖 So few people speak so openly about their trans experience, especially from religious backgrounds - I'm never unmoved by your wonderful videos and Instagram posts. Thank you 🥰🙏🏼💖
You both are stunningly beautiful women. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I remember nearing the 6 mo mark on HRT and freaking out a bit. The changes by that point were both noticeable and irreversible. It’s a decision that should not be taken lightly, for sure. Eight years later, though, and I have no regrets. HRT has helped in more ways than I originally thought possible.
This was such an honest and vulnerable thing to share. Thank you for sharing it and I hope you’re thriving!
Transformative? I think that's probably the best word I can think of to describe what i was like for me, when I started taking estradiol - about 7 years & counting. Not just physically, but the phycological changes that occurred were just such a relief. It really was as if some kind of weight had shifted. While my core identity has more or less stayed the same, the negativity, & feeling of isolation has greatly reduced. While at the same time I do believe my empathy for others, has increased. Not that I never had feelings for others before, just that my access to that empathy seems to have far fewer internal roadblocks, now. Amanda & shaye, thanks again for these wonderful videos 😊.
She must really love you. My wife is so supportive of me too and is not threatened by my transition. Such a heaven sent woman!!
The level of love and respect you two have with each other is just so precious! So much gratitude to you both 🙏🏼 Your authenticity and vulnerability is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your incredible journey ❤
I love seeing how your love stays strong during your incredible journey.
I am thinking you now know how empathetic mothers are. You guys are the greatest couple. Just genuine. Love you guys!❤❤❤❤
What an intelligent and supportive wife. ❤ absolutely beautiful to see.
This is so incredibly beautiful. I can feel both of your authenticity and genuine love for each other. It's so lovely to see Shaye coming into her own through the transition, and so beautiful how Amanda is so in tune with her wife
Thank you for sharing , you have a beautiful family ❤
Great video! Thanks for sharing. You and Violet sure look a lot alike 🙂
I've been on female hormones just 6 months... but I can completely relate. Starting with being at peace and at home in my body. To drastically shifting my perspective on things. Even music sounds a bit different now. I am SOOO much better now. Thank you for sharing your story with us
Intelligent and gorgeus ladies both of you, thanks for sharing your life with us
I’m so in love with this channel and both of you ❤
Thank you both for making this video. It is so well-done - and the information is so important. I’m grateful for your courage and your willingness to share this very personal journey with the world. As we approach Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I’ve been reflecting on civil rights gains and challenges. We all need to keep working for the fair and just treatment of all people. This can’t happen without knowledge and understanding, and you’re making huge contributions to that. Bravo.
As always, I wish I could like and love this a million times!!!
I’m a almost 53 year old woman going through peri menopause and hopefully about to start hrt. Was just wondering if “menopause” would affect you in the future or would you be okay because you’re already on hrt and have been from a younger age than most women start on hrt (if they can even get it, but that’s a whole other story)?
I have watched your videos and I admire you both so much for caring so much for each other and your family. Also your decorations are so awesome!!! I went back before transition and it is amazing the transition. Even the softer man look phase Shaye went through. You are so beautiful now inside and out the way you carry yourself. You can see the weight off. The gift you give your children that they know that they can be honest and will be loved unconditionally.
Being in a marriage for 16 years now one thing that I really appreciate is that when my emotions are so up-and-down and I’m trying to regulate them mentally I really appreciate having my husband to be a strong, emotionally consistent partner to help me. I also feel like my emotions help to soften him at times. If my husband suddenly started crying at the drop of a hat over things and coming to me for emotional support it would be hard for me. I guess I never thought about this part of transitioning and the aspect of losing your husband but gaining a wife.
Fascinating how hormones can do that. I see a gradual acceleration in femininity.
Shaye… you are the most luckiest person in the realm of ‘Living in Life.’ I cry with emotion for the gift you have been given from Amanda. She see’s you. She loves you. She accepts you. She has given herself to you. That is a gift of heart that is the most precious of anything in life.
It’s been one year now for my coming out and six months on HRT for my transition. My wife of 24 years could not gift me the same even through 4 months of open communication trying to accept. She is gone. And I continue to grieve my loss as she continues to grieve hers.
Amanda, you are an amazing woman, and Shaye, you are an amazing woman. I feel the love you both share for each other in every video I watch.
I simply adore you both. God Bless.❤
Thanks for sharing your experience🤍
I am totally blown away with both of you showing your viewers your honesty, genuineness, and compassion to this topic ❤ Shaye; along with you transitioning I see a GREAT confidence in who you are now 💪🏻❤ As a 65 yo biological female, I enjoy every. Single. Video!! You and Amanda are really teaching me a LOT in a very positive way ❤
There is a young person, probably 25 ish (?) that works in the liquor store within our town’s grocery store. I am fairly sure he (she?) is transitioning. From what I have learned from your videos; it allows me to feel very comfortable around her (him?). (Her) name is Robin, she still has the body of a man, but does have breasts, a man soft voice, and has grown her hair out. Let me tell you!!!! I would give anything to have her beautiful wavy thick hair 🥳🤩 On the times I am in the liquor department and she is working we have nice conversations. She is Jewish, I am Catholic, and we had lovely conversations at Hanukkah 🕎 and Christmas 🎄.
♦️ Thank you for giving me the confidence to have lovely conversations with her (him) 😇😃 Both of you have really opened my eyes, and have given me a fresh set of compassion ❤ Thank you ever so much 🎉🤗
Hey Shaye, and Amanda. I felt confident enough to mention your channel to the person I feel is transitioning.
*** Robin in Green Ohio, if you are watching, yes! I was the one to mention The Great Scott’s to you today ❤ 🤗
I started low dose estradiol monotherapy 2 months ago. Right away dysphoria started to diminish. I started feeling happy and sleeping better. I thought I was going to lose my family as my wife is not supportive, But low dose saved it for me. I just hope I dont have to increase the dose. Now trying to live every day like this is the last day of my life and just being happy with my family! 🙂
Soooo interesting! Thank you! Subbed. Xxx
bless beautiful family ❤
Your wife is the best wife.. and congratulation for your happy life. I loves when people feel free and happy
You are Magic and a great example for this (sometimes mad) world ✨💛
We love you both so much
Thank you. I've been on MTF hormones over four years and really haven't seen a big difference. My doctor is very kind but she had no idea how to prescribe for my needs. I'm still trying to figure out how to get to the sense of peace you're feeling.
I’m sorry to hear that. Of course you are valid however your treatments look moving forward. 🥰
It may be time to find another doctor who has more expertise in this area.
Wow this information on the hormone therapy is really new to me, I also thought it was purely for looks. Damn
Again, beautiful couple. Just curious though, based on what several friends have said. hrt does wonders mentally, especially early. Everyone I have spoken with says about the two-year mark is when the physical changes speed up. Also, this is a time of joy and excitement for them. Did you experience this?
Wow this is a trip
Like whoa
From my own experiences as a trans woman, I know firsthand how challenging this journey can be. But witnessing the incredible strength of your bond and the depth of love in your relationship has truly inspired me. Seeing Amanda's unwavering support and how you both have grown closer through embracing your authentic selves has been nothing short of beautiful.
As someone who is attracted to men, I've often doubted the possibility of finding a partner capable of offering such profound love and support. My past traumas with men haven't made it any easier to hold onto hope. However, your story has cracked open a door within me, letting in some light of possibility.
2023 was my year of transition as well with HRT (mtf). I was in social transition for about eight months before HRT. I am also former LDS, and was raised in the church, both in Salt Lake City, and St. George. HRT has made a world of difference for my mental health. I am just now starting to heal the trauma from childhood though. Growing up in Mormonism is very hard for a trans kid, especially when she (me) didn’t have a name for what was happening, and the culture was extremely hostile towards anything different. I am so glad to see younger people than myself, being able to come out much sooner in life. I went through over 40 years, before I found peace. Hugs to both of you. 🤗🥂🏳️⚧️
I am curious you were bald before having a hair transplant? Do you have extensions on your new hair.
I found your channel based on the Mormon aspect of things and curiosity. Your channel has given me insight into the 🏳️🌈 movement like I haven’t experienced before. I know that you can’t “pray the gay away” and I am glad that Shaye has found peace.
How long the hormones remain in one's body?
Té trop belle comme une princesse j'aime beaucoup ton makeup
As a mom of a trans daughter, I am so grateful for your channel. Showing people how normal transgender people are and explaining the stages of transition is important for the public to understand. We have a long way to go before EVERYONE gets it that we are all the same--just people giving and receiving love. With God's help, we'll get there. You both exude so much love. xxoo
Thank you!
Shaye: A Beautiful Soul sent by God ♥
Both of you are beautiful ❤❤❤
She is so beautiful...funny how the word SHE is in her name...Divine Hand!❤
I wish that I could take estrogen but because I had a cancer related to my intersex condition I cannot take this hormone because of the health risk of causing the cancer to return. Im so happy for you.
Eeek! You are both so beautiful inside and out!
Girl, I decided to go on HRT to see if it would relieve my gender dysphoria. It did and it was night and day difference! I didn't mind the physical changes, but that was not my reasoning at all for starting HRT. It's so hard to describe. It's like you know that you are sick or that something is just off. After starting HRT though, I just felt... right.
I have not checked your channel in a few months. I am gay so I thought you were pretty good looking before transition (but of course you were not happy with who you were at the time). I’m very happy (for you) that you turned out gorgeous after transition as well. I basically went from a female ogre to a male ogre.
really interesting to hear the focus be on mental experience, and also the building awareness of a sense of flux... that's my experience, and while i welcome the physical changes, they are secondary for me... for a lot of other trans people the physical effects might be super important because of physical dysphoria... I'm lucky I don't have much of that at all.
My goodness you are beautiful.
I admire your flexibility and tolerance so much, Amanda! Don't know if I would be able to love a changed lover and another gender.
(Would have loved to see your own face age a bit more naturally, though. I'm sure you would age so beautifully! Dare to be who you are!) ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
While testosterone can make soneone feel aggressive its amazing how men are usually more chill and happy then women. Women go through quick hormone changes and this affects us in different ways. Men don't go through the rollercoaster we do hormonally. Taking birth control balance most womens hormones and gets rid of the crazy acne and pms.
