Love your dress Amanda. Where did you get it? I think you make a lovely couple. :)

[@laurilenhardt2188]

Oh my gosh, you’re sitting in a bathtub with no water, clothes on, eating an apple, reading a book, lol, I’m dying over here. This made my day, thank you

[@albertarose1433]

I liked the apple and the box of chocolates!! ❤

[@maggiemacha5552]

I agree, that was so creatively executed!

[@bebebrownsdollhaul6444]

SAME

[@elleBwsr]

What about the addition of the wine glass! 😂😂😂😂

[@Juju-ew4zh]

😂😂❤😂😂

[@djdingwall1]

I am post Mormon and listening to part two kind of blows my mind. So young and inexperienced. I'm so so glad that everything has worked out for the two of you gals.

[@Hakagure]

But there's only 1 gal in the video. Did you mean the daughters?

[@tejaswoman]

​@@Hakagureno, dearie, they mean the two women you see talking in the video. If you can't wrap your head around that, watch the various videos of the channel without commenting until you get enough education to know what you're talking about.

[@Hakagure]

@tejaswoman umm I hate to tell you this, but biologically only 1 of them is

[@Defender78]

Writing old fashioned letters... cool and romantic!

[@MaryTaylor-j7r]

​@@tejaswomanignore the poor closet trans, just report them like i do ♡

[@DonnaEmbry-ie2sf]

What a terrific role model you have for your kids. 1) Being different is ok. 2) Love in a marriage means your want your partner to be healthy and happy! Amanda made a choice that she wanted her partner to be happy and healthy within their marriage. i also believe that Shaye does the same for her.

[@marieneu264]

Please do a video about family members, immediate and extended, and how they have reacted to all of this! I hope they’re all supportive!

[@renaissancewoman3770]

I love that you both gave each other room to grow back then, and found your way back to each other. Its a very sweet story.

[@kimmychan1967]

Very Mormon!! My hubby & I met when I was 8 & he was 10. His older brother was doing splits with the missionaries and helped teach my parents the discussions. We never dated growing up. He went on a mission to CA & I went to BYU (far from home, we are from Maryland). He came out to BYU to visit his brother (there are 7 of them) & that’s when the sparks started. He went home to MD & started calling me. By the time I came home for summer we had planned our first date. 3 weeks later we were engaged. 🤣 Been married 33 years! Stopped going to church in 2020. Thank you internet & Gospel Topic Essays…..

[@bkm2797]

Sharing your love story is so sweet and such an honor. My heart goes out to Shaye having to go away for two long years on a mission, and all the structure that went along with it. My heart also goes out to Amanda, waiting for so long, and when the letters stopped coming, she felt abandoned and hurt. Amanda put up a wall so that wouldn't happen again, (but luckily the parents knew better,lol), and in time you both found a way back into each other's life. Amanda didn't mention if the voice she heard was hers, but with a thought that didn't feel she said, or a different voice altogether, either way it was spiritual that's for sure. Can't wait for Part 3, Thank you Amanda and Shaye.💕👍🐶

[@lorij9649]

i love the kindness you share with each other. Yes, the bathtub scene is Adorable!

[@pattylyman7907]

Amanda in the tub, reading her journal. Love it!!

[@ronvernicamarie6050]

I literally love that you went on dates with Shaye to just show how mad you were. That is just perfect lol 😂

[@verarising]

I was a server for a long time, and think I've served you two before somewhere in town in the last year, you seem so familiar to me! I recognize the pure energy in you. I commend you for pursuing authenticity as natives here, difficult is an understatement. ❤

[@victoriapiper1952]

Love your videos ❤ thank you so much for sharing. I'm a transwoman. I'm 56. I started my transition 3 years ago. I've been married to my wife for 24 years. We are super happy today. We both get a lot out of your sharing. Super proud of you both ❤

[@luz5835]

You are still married to the sane person after 24 years? Now you are the wife in the relationship, what is she?Also a wife? Lesbians now?

[@victoriapiper1952]

@@luz5835 Yes. We are two women who are married. Fairly common here in Oregon. Even our Governor has this arrangement with her spouse 🤣🤣🤣

[@NightingaleFlorine]

@@victoriapiper1952love your humour 😂 and happy for you. I’m sure life feels easier when you feel comfortable in your own skin

[@samaxe1998]

I love hearing you speak about your history. It’s so calming and sweet, you both make me believe in the truest love. Your companionship makes for a beautiful and engaging story.

[@nicolaarchibald3171]

I admire the two of you. I see that there's two stories, one about Shaye's transition and one about your relationship. I love how you support one another in life. Regardless of Shaye's gender, the two of you have a wonderful relationship. I also love how kind and supportive you, Amanda, have been in Shaye's journey. And, I love how much Shaye appreciates you. Cheers to the wonderful couple you are together. You truly demonstrate that Love is Love!

[@carolinekerr5853]

Thanks you two, lookimg forward to Part 3 - please add in some vdieos and pics for the next one

[@maggiemacha5552]

No worries about being long winded! You’re telling an incredible love story! I am over here hanging on every word! You two are sensational soulmates! I appreciate you both as the amazing individuals that you are and the beautiful couple that you are together ❤️ Thank you for sharing, it is the love that the world needs now! Much gratitude 🙏🏼

[@DonnaEmbry-ie2sf]

I wish I had a story like that. I got schizophrenia when I was 33, and my husband took off. I am honestly happy that there are people in the world who are truly in love. I pray for you often and I hope you kept your faith in god. I pray that you kept your faith in god without the mormon church, because like you two, god is way more interesting than being some extraterrestrial cop that refuses you coffee and makes sure you cover your shoulders, and oh, are you wearing your appropriate underwear? God is just way more loving and interesting than that.

[@LilahSD]

I just binged several of your episodes today and still need to piece together, where you live now, what you do for work, and how did you go about buying and building your own home. So many questions. You are living a really beautiful life!

[@heathercschafer]

Knowing next to nothing about LDS or missions, it’s good to have a little background. Love you both and your creative, fun content! It’s so refreshing to see how you all have handled this new phase of life. Thank you for being so brave and sharing your journey. Y’all seem so happy and that’s all that matters ❤

[@DoctorJoanieTool]

I’d love to hear about the wedding and early married life. Congrats on all the press lately. You’ve done wonderful things for Pride and for so many others without a platform!

[@brookewillie2313]

I just found 'Amanda and Shaye' a week ago & have been binge watching their videos. What a beautiful family 💞 wholesome, down to earth & pure.

[@coriewatson5988]

Same story, same ages, going through the same experiences. It’s crazy how your life can mirror others. Good to know we aren’t alone:)

[@bridiemacdonald9436]

Super interesting - thanks for posting - what a unique experience to come from such a traditional religious background and then to deconstruct the framework and make your own! Love the more in-depth convos!

[@julie9785]

I really enjoy watching your channel and the loving respect and interaction you have with each other. It feels very familiar to me. My husband and I have been together for 45 years this November and our relationship has had the usual ups and downs,sideways shuffles,and deepest darkest times . Through it all we continue to laugh,cry,and maintain our connection. You both are examples for your children and are showing them that love,respect,and living authenticly are good keys for a happy life.

[@lenorebaker8158]

Thank you for sharing this! I'm loving it and can't wait for the next installment.

[@Infiniteavatar]

So glad you chose to go through life together!!! It certainly looks like that was the plan you both had before birth❤️🩵❤️🩵❤️🌈🌈🌈🥰🥰🥰

[@tamasurusrex]

I’m ex Mormon and hearing you two speak just touches me in such a wonderful familiar way. It’s really hard for me to find a partner and now I think I can see why… I’ve always been an artistic weirdo free spirit so that’s who I hung out with… but when it comes to love I’m kinda a goody two shoes, for lack of a better description. The sweetness I see between you two… it’s really what I’m looking for. And oddly I see some of the good things that Mormonism can create, which feels very strange leaving my mouth now than I’ve said it… because I’m the first to complain about the obstacles it’s created in my personal life. But watching you two together stirs something foundational in me and helps me put a finger on it, in a good way. Thank you for that 🫶🏻 I feel less alone when I hear other ex Mormons share and I’m also just happy for you two 🙏

[@ks4893-m8v]

I think it's wonderful that you are making such beautiful and vulnerable videos sharing your family's experiences 💕 I have two transgender children and it's so difficult for people who don't even know someone transgender or who don't know their personal struggle to understand why transitioning is life-saving and so important!! Love you all and appreciate your bravery and efforts to help bring inclusion to everyone 🤗

[@craziecatlady8586]

Didnt want the video to end. So heart warming. I am also a morman leaving the church. Just too restricting

[@cleojones4427]

I LOVE this!!! What a BEAUTIFUL story!! I laughed, I teared up, and my heart was so happy!! Thank you for sharing. Can’t wait for part 3. 🏳️‍🌈❤️❤️

[@KarenLeeTLS]

Beautiful story! Thank you. ❤

[@UteGoldkuhle]

You are a remarkable couple!! You may not realize your impact you have! You speak about and live the core essence of what it means to fully live the human experience with all our unique variations and aspirations! Thank you!

[@libbyliebig1327]

Absolutely love watching you two interact and tell your story❤❤❤❤

[@lhmccool67]

If either of you would have run, knowing what you were going to experience, I think it's obvious you still would have gotten together one way or another. You're meant to be! 💕💕

[@marybrown6128]

I loved this story!! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤ Happy Anniversary 🎉

[@debrakintzing8914]

Love you guys! Really love hearing your back story and watching how you interact with each other. I wish I had found my person like you two did. I can't wait to hear more. BTW, I just read about your People Magazine article online in the news today (hey.....I know them!). Congratulations!!!

[@kirstinrozema6341]

Loved this video! Amanda you mentioned a “social transition” So does this mean a transition on the outside rather than gender reassignment surgery? And did you face any issues with your careers with this transition? A beautiful story so far!

[@NikkieDockerty77]

I'd love to meet you both one day your love story is so sweet love is love regardless of the gender 😊😊😊

[@Lilly_Belen]

As a trans person, Shaye you are a true inspiration, thank you. Love your content. Also, I have lived in Utah for over 20 years, thank you so much for what you are able to express and share. You've given me so much more than anyone as far as I can attest to. thank you! Thank you for being you! My name is Lilly and I have been trans since 2019 following you since the start. your family is so amazing. much love. I wish you all the best. Lilly!

“No yeah…. She was diagnosed with schizophrenia” had me wheezing

[@Joanna_Appelwick_Podcast]

Does Shaye have a Spotify list of her music and others?

[@amandapanda85]

I’m not sure if you guys have shared your stories on Mormon stories podcast but it would be really cool if u reached out to them to share ur story.

[@GreatScotts]

Here it is 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKqvqWaordOsZrMsi=EEm8_dkPNXpD6_pB

[@pattylyman7907]

While running a Wendys in Idaho, I considered myself lucky to hire return missionaries. So helpful. So polite. Great work ethic. But boy....were they ever immature. When having nice conversations about their church and what is involved, all they could do is quote the standard line supplied from their indoctrination from the church. Opinions on women's role? No opinion. Opinion on all most everything about the Mormon religion was beyond their ability to discuss.

[@kavitadeva]

❤❤💥💥❤❤ I am rather new to your channel, and Sorry Shay you two could never be long-winded. I love listening to the two of you. I love how the depths of your lives are being shared with us. I think people that are really informed about the Mormon religion, well let me speak for myself because of the Chad daybell Case that just ended up with him getting the death penalty and Lori Vallow having three life sentences and they're very serious involvement with Mormonism to the point where they get whacked out and Chad believes he was the Holy Spirit in another probation, just knowing you guys came from Mormonism which to me is such a big cult and how you deconstructed and where you are now I mean again, sorry Shay You said, well we've been in a little long-winded, I'll say it again for me you could never be long winded enough. I love listening to the two of your stories and I can't wait to hear more. It's really hard to believe that Shay has only been presenting fully as a woman for a year. That is crazy. I mean wow you both are so beautiful inside and out. I just would love to know what it's like being a mom to your children for each of you. And I wish you guys made more videos because I love that I found your channel so-called by mistake. Thank you guys so much for sitting down, for sharing and for making my day brighter It means a lot because I'm going through very very difficult times with my health and my mental health, and your video today was just the right medicine, Thank you.❤❤

[@berglettemom6045]

So, Shaye, did you go to college too? Did you live together at BYU after you got married? I really hope you’ll continue telling the story of your lives together. I would love to hear more.

[@danielsykes7558]

8:30 honestly there's still something admirable in that. Also postmo here, but it's important to recognize where society could learn a thing or two

I love following your journey! Are you willing to talk about how Amanda’s parents feel about everything today? I know you mentioned they were very religious and very set on you getting a “man” 😂

[@LeahFairfield]

They’re not on their channel so how is it our business how they feel and think?
