Happy Valentine’s Day 💖

[@djdingwall1]

Happy Sweeties Day

[@Satch5150clf]

Happy Valentine’s Day. ❤️ Shaye got roses…I’m completely jealous.

[@alisoni7]

The roses/tulips exchange is my favorite... I'm glad you found your people so early in life.

[@marieneu264]

14:11 Yes! We need a part two about the dating and when she came home from her mission!!!! Please!

[@hollytravis7238]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!

[@alicia10387]

I love that Shay told you not to wait, that is so loving. Shows how much Shay loved you then and clearly still loves you now.

[@carolwrigglesworth9013]

How beautiful and what a journey. You know what Id like to see/hear is Shaye playing something on the piano that goes for more than a couple of minutes. Big piano fan.

[@davidhorwood6741]

Absolutely, yes please!

[@saraferguson1156]

I was raised Mormon and everything you talked about is giving me flashbacks 😂😂 I left the church because I didn’t feel like I fit in. Not for the same reasons as Shaye, but I still didn’t fit the typical/ideal “Molly Mormon” image. I’m not romantically/sexually attracted to either men or women, or really anyone. I’ve always been this way but just in the last year or so I’ve really embraced this and realized this is who I am. I’ve always questioned Mormonism and had doubts, and I’ve never aspired to the traditional female role: homemaker, mother, quiet, dainty, etc. I’m the complete opposite. I’m loud, crude, outspoken and I have no plans to be married. I never got any major pushback or criticism because of this but I always felt out of place. So much so to the point that around COVID when everything shut down I decided not to go back to church when things went back to normal. And now here I am. I’m still struggling with my decision and feeling isolated and out of place but I’m slowly working towards accepting my decision and who I am in this new chapter of my life. Thank you guys for this video. It was very sweet and eye opening

[@davidmicheletti6292]

As someone who gas been married for 50 years and also shares intersex gender development my marriage has been wonderful

[@smeyer6960]

"My love for Shaye isn't very pure, either..." is the most wholesome teen journal entry ever, especially considering the 22 years you've shared since! 😇 💕

[@GreatScotts]

😂

[@smeyer6960]

@@GreatScotts I met my forever person in 2002 as well, and the thing that we always give to each other is unconditional acceptance, no matter how other people may judge our choices as individuals or as a couple. Our story unfolded very differently than yours, but we get a lot of, "Really? She did WHAT? And you are okay with it? Hmm. How...unconventional." Some people will never understand us, but we really don't care what anyone thinks! I'm relating so much to your story, even though our stories are so different. Love is love! 🌈 ❤

[@afrykanqwin]

I love them and while i know she is supportive of the wife's transition i hope she has given herself the room and space to grieve or process her sadness. Centering both peoples feelings and emotions is important. I am not saying they arent doing so clearly they love each other but in a society that promotes toxic positivity and suppressing certain emotions or fears....i do love the grace exemplified by both but its like i want to ask "how are you really doing" "did you grieve truthfully" "did you do therapy"...regardless i wish you both well...beautiful and graceful.

[@KristyRadio]

8:30 the moment according to Shaye made me cry 😭 absolutely beautiful ❤️

[@geezergo7186]

As someone who is older, and trans, and who has avoided dating and intimacy most of my adult life, out of fear of rejection (for being trans) your ❤️ story is beautiful and inspirational! The fact that your marriage endures and thrives, is sadly still the exception rather than the rule. I do however see more and more relations surviving post-transition, so I am hopeful for the future (even if it’s too late for me!) Thank you for sharing your story! True love is such a beautiful thing! ❤❤❤

[@missdee153]

**I want to first say that I am trying very hard to use the correct wording and terminology to be respectful towards everyone, including the LGBTQIA+ community. Sometimes, I fall very short. If I do so, please let me know but there is no need for meanness. A gentle nudge is enough. ** Stories like this makes me see that there are still couples who truly do love deeper than the surface. When I fell in love with my husband (at 16), I fell in love with the person. No matter what, I can't imagine leaving. This story is so genuine. It is beautiful. I can not love this enough!!

[@jjcc-yr4bk]

It's never too late for anyone or anything.

[@M5TABBYCAT]

I sincerely hope you find your dreams- in your case, you find that special someone.

[@romerome2711]

Thank you so much for your videos, both of you!. I have recently started my transition and your channel has been a beautifully realistic view, seeing your family grow through this wonderful experience brings hope!

[@josefinacoloma2851]

so much love!!!! I'm glad you found yourselves and extricated from mormon views. I have loved following your journey. lots of learning and heart opening moments.

[@GuangkaZ]

Your story is beyond beautiful, so glad the algorithm took me here!

[@jeffsinclair4412]

Hi Scotts, I have been following you for awhile. I have enjoyed watching your family and your growth. I have mentioned before how so much of what you have said about your journey is really familiar to me. This evening I watched a couple of the older videos from when you first came out to when you had your ffs. When listening to both of you answer questions it just was really thoughtful and affirming. In a world where our journey is being used by bad faith actors for their own gain, it`s reassuring to listen to a positive message about being ourselves. I hope you all are well and extremely happy. Love Marie

[@alaynazolot2440]

The ending XD I had to watch it multiple times!!! I loveeeeeee watching your videos. Shaye I couldn't be happier to see you living your life authentically. It feels like this is who you were all along and you just look so gorgeous and happy!!

[@uhfootballgirl]

Yes, more stories of her return from her mission, your engagement and marriage please! ❤🎉❤🎉❤

[@natalielawyerchick]

Animating Shaye as a girl in the flashback scene brought a little tear to my eye.

[@tthomas6013]

Ok Girl,..."Shaye is so sweet". Not,... I'm 60, and I'm laughing my butt off over here,..."Shaye is what?...Sexy". In your own writing! You both are so genuine. The way you sit and chat with each other and let us listen in, is so sincere. It's beautiful really. I'm also impressed with your Brother-in-law and his strength for standing up for truth. What a great family ❣️ By the way, I'm still laughing. Thank you for sharing the LOVE ❤️ Many Blessings.

[@SunnyDays1992]

This was beautifully produced. Thank you both for sharing your story ❤️

[@Pattie_rizzo]

The opera over reading the diary is top notch content creating. Love yall!!! lol

[@orlandoromero22]

The editing voice over / animations / visuals made this story one of the best. Thanx for giving us a glimpse of your life.EDIT: Definitely need a part2

[@paulashealthyliving]

Happy valentines' day to you both. Thanks for sharing and being so vulnerable.

[@NikaLunaWrites]

Gosh I loved this so much. Your story had me grinning ear to ear.

[@Monk-eee]

hey ladies, I am a newbie & I am SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY I found you 2, this is my 1st video I'm watching. I adore your connection & agree with Shaye that you are both so lucky to have found eachother so young, grew up together & are still in love.. Your are the true meaning of dedication & love. Also your both stunning women. Thanks for your time I so look forward to hearing more & learning more about your love as well as adventures. Kat ✌💜🙃🙏

[@bkm2797]

Oh my goodness that is the sweetest story of how two hearts became one. Love the innocence and the respect, the world needs more of that for sure. Happy Valentines to true love!💕💕💕

[@crystalmcleod2651]

I very much enjoyed this video ❤ super well done, relatable, and candid. Thanks for sharing!

[@---BAM---]

Shae has the most hilarious sense of humour. You two are so sweet. 💝

[@lisafowler6278]

When I saw you for the first time, it was in your video “Why We Left.” A few days later I was telling my husband about your story. I will never forget that when Shay finally told you (Amanda) about his gender dysphoria, your reaction was to feel so sad that Shay had been carrying this on his own for so long. And I felt the sincerity of that-nothing like “he deceived me,” or anything about yourself-all about Shay, the person you have loved all your adult life. My husband and I were both raised Mormon and we’ve been married 35 years, together 38. I remember talking with one of my siblings about unconditional love. I said that there is nothing I could do that would cause Cameron to stop loving me. He would do absolutely everything in his power to meet me exactly where I am. If you have that, you are unbelievably fortunate, and it’s the thing I wanted for each of our 3 children, for them to find someone who loves them like that. Both of you are beautiful, inside and out, and I am sending our very best wishes for your continuing happiness.

[@andreareyes7080]

New subscriber here! Seeing you two relive how you fell in love was beautiful 🤍 So sweet how you have your journal entries to look back on 🫶🏼

[@aspensugar13]

A friend of mine who transitioned moved to Utah. They been married with kids many years. Kids are older and moved out now. But they've stayed together through it all. She is so very happy now. Their love is amazing. I've followed her story for a few years now. Wonder if you live close to them. Would be a great friendship going through the same things. They are both amazing people.

[@AndrewMarloweTV]

Really enjoyed this. Its amazing that Amanda still has her diary from when you all first met. And what Shaye said about relationships and people always changing is so true

[@agatamazanowska6124]

Hi Ladies, you are absolutely wonderful human beings. I've been watching your videos for a couple of days and your journey together has completely amazed me, there is so much love, commitment, acceptance and openness. I look at you and think, I would like the world to be like this. I wish all the best to your entire family.

[@ilenehirsch2208]

What a great story on so many levels. Full of love, courage and emotional maturity. I wish both of you continued love.

[@kimbrown419]

I love your story! I think it's so wonderful and brave of both of you to share this with everyone on KZbin! I started watching you about 17 months ago when you left the Mormon Church. Which I sure was hard and then transition which must have been even harder. I see this as a blessing. Native Americans called this two spirits that a person has, one Male and one Female. It's to be celebrated and I think you both have this special gift! Blessing and hope you have a wonderful life together!!

[@kimbrown419]

​@@THEMADHATTRESSCan you explain it to me then? I worked at the Ute Tribe in Northeast Utah and that is what I was told. I realize there is a lot of Diversity among different tribes. I just feel the Native Americans I have met are a lot more accepting of Gender issues.

[@indrinita]

I honestly loved this video so much I watched it twice 😂😂 but what a beautiful love story! So glad you guys are a family ❤ By the way, just wanted to say you two are both beautiful women inside and out, and wow is Shaye ever a striking beauty! No wonder your children are so gorgeous.

[@taramatheis1451]

What a beautiful loving couple. I've already watched several videos of them - leaving the church & transitioning.. and what strikes me every time is there raw honesty and humility and ultimately that love conquers all ❤❤❤

[@laspatoaventurasdeana8893]

Shaye your hair looks amazing!!!❤

[@lilacchocolate]

This was so incredibly sweet, thank for sharing your story with us! 🥹💕 I’m 32 and still waiting for my first and forever love. People who get to meet theirs so early on in life, like you two, are incredibly lucky!!! 🍀💕☺️ Can’t wait for my turn 🤞🥰

[@sunnylilme]

[@philippawood5047]

This is an example of soulmates. I especially loved seeing Shaye's memory of those moments, it gave such a beautiful insight into who you are.

[@erzebetb]

it's so damn evident that y'all love each so much~ and that's what matters, the PERSON you love, not what 'suit' they are in. when you find that, not much else matters, and you'd best hold onto it for dear life. i'm so glad you stayed together. much love

[@dionneappuhamyge25]

Omg this is such a beautiful love story ❤❤❤ Hearing it brought tears to my eyes. You both make such a beautiful couple. May God always shower his blessings on both of you.

[@lindseyjohanneson6950]

You guys have the most beautiful love story!❤

[@phyllisbrueckner3818]

Am loving your story! You guys are an amazing couple, great parents, and I’m so pleased you have the courage to inform those of us who really did not understand “trans” what that means. I knew “gay”, have no problem at all with them, and am now understanding trans, am happy to be educated. Thank you for your videos. Love you both!

[@mariefaucher9658]

Yall are the cutest ❤

[@behape_4evr]

What a sweet story. True Love!

[@mariefaucher9658]

Awwe while I have to say I am conflicted about transgender your love is so beautiful and can’t be denied ♥️. Also everyone has the right to be their authentic self. I just struggle with feeling like God makes us our authentic selves. God Bless yall ❤

[@tiadavenport5465]

My husband and I went miniature golfing too. We've been together for over thirty-five years. All the best to you both.

[@tennisloveand1Dtoo]

Happy Valentine's Day, you lovely lovebirds!

[@crystaldills577]

I’m jus gonna say it! Sister you won the lottery lol!! No wonder you stayed! I’m not surprised at all! You are both beautiful🥰💜🥰

[@jennellmutch9985]

Oh gosh , love the read from the diary ! I used to have them in school as well, journals all that stuff. I am a few years older than y'all and I really didn't think folks did those anymore, or they just translate it to a phone ! Lol You all could make a movie out of this ! I had so hoped that one of the magazines I sent your gay parade pride day kiss would be picked up and put out there ! It was such a statement and love ! I also see that I was taken off your KZbin channel, I hope it was something I said or anything? Or maybe it was KZbin ? Not sure ! Just let me know if it's issues or something. Until the next video take care !

[@lisalundin3972]

I love your love story. Thank you for sharing.
