That's pretty fancy looking TP! This is the first time I've ever wanted to buy any product on millions of YT video ads !

[@thaysramirez9051]

1. Shaye, you look so happy, and your smile is gorgeous!! No wonder Amanda is so in love with you. 2. Amanda, you are the best wife ever. Your are a beauty, inside and out!

[@missknowitall8199]

Shaye’s confidence and sense of humor is on MAX and I’m so here for it!!!

[@Whitewolf1827]

Me also

[@kimaugust9920]

Now this is what you would call true love. I watched you guys since you first started the channel so before you came out. The way you both support each other is something else that words can't even describe. Your kids are going to grow up to be empathetic, understanding, open-minded and they will know what true love really is

[@UteGoldkuhle]

Beautifully articulated! You truly articulated all I meant to express, but I could not have shared it better. I am 83 years young, full of admiration of you both, Shaye and Amanda from day one! 💖

[@xXcrimsonxroseXx]

"Everyone needs an Amanda in their life." YES! I am so here for the partnership (not just support) that you've shared throughout this journey. But I'd also add that everyone needs a Shaye as well-someone with the courage to be her authentic self and remind us of the freedom that comes with doing the same. Love you two!

[@MoonWitch77]

I love how Shaye is more and more comfortable with herself each day. And each day she’s more comfortable with herself, she glows stronger. She shines brighter. She holds her head up a little higher. She’s more herself and it’s so amazing and exciting to see. Sending so much love ! 🤗

[@madeleinefoley9421]

Thanks for not only sharing your story, but showing all the love in your life xx

[@snapdragonslair]

I tapped as soon as I got the notification! Congrats! Your voice is great!

[@pattylyman7907]

SAME! Sounds good!

[@lesliebean4594]

I’ve only known one person as graceful as Shaye. It’s refreshing to see such authenticity.

[@Whitewolf1827]

Extremely happy to see you both actually teary eyed as video ended just happy to see women i support be happy as ypu are being your authentic selves

[@missymoe1917]

Your voice is coming along nicely Shaye!!! I love the love you two share together 🩷 Amanda is an absolute jewel she has stood by Shaye's side every step of the way!! 🩷💕🩷

[@hannahgracexx585]

Seeing Shaye’s confidence in this video and all the little videos is so sweet. You can see the love between Amanda and Shaye too because Amanda gets more giddy with Shaye’s confidence. Sooo sweet ❤

[@bkm2797]

Shaye, you’re voice is coming along quite nicely, I noticed you do sound less strained when you spoke up towards the end, like in singing remember to use that diaphragm. You seem happy, and that is what we all want for you, it’s all good. Oh and yes, everyone would be lucky to have an Amanda, she is a force! Thanks for the update!💕👍

[@missknowitall8199]

Thank your for sharing your journey so vulnerably for others to see. It’s not only informative, it’s essential to create more empathy. ❤️🙏 Your voice is adjusting beautifully❤

[@samanthacross3523]

I’m so pleased for you Shaye. I’m deaf and when I had hearing aids it was a shock to hear my own voice. I wasn’t sure how loud etc and it didn’t sound like me . Gradually I adjusted x

[@dorinapenapoet]

Congratulations I'm sure it is so hard to not be able to talk and then your voice is gonna be healing for a really long time, but I can already tell the difference so it must be you for it in a lot of ways.

[@Cowboysfan40]

Shaye, you voice sounds amazing! I hope you do another post op video at 12 weeks. I have a feeling the voice will sound even better.

[@farraharrington5640]

I was waiting for the update and I’m so happy for you both. Your confidence shines thru and seeing you continue to be more comfortable within yourself a privilege to witness. Thank you for your candor and letting us in to such a personal journey.

[@amyfu2047]

Shaye, you sound great! Your voice is slightly higher and very gentle. Your voice sounds kind and happy, if that makes sense. I’m sure your voice will continue to refine subtly as you continue to use it and you heal fully. Sending you and your family love, strength and support. ❤❤❤

[@danielles7476]

Amanda you are so loving and supportive. ❤❤❤

[@christinelucus3485]

I know a lot of your videos focus on Shayes transition, but I find it so refreshing to see a married couple that loves, encourages and cheer each other on. Love being able to see that in everything you guys share! ❤

[@Infiniteavatar]

Your voice sounds great and was even more super amazing near the end of the video. So kind of you girls to share your journey with us. It is very appreciated.

[@melodyblanchard2017]

your energy is soooo good both of y'all ! sending love from Maine

[@marybrown6128]

I think you sound great and it will just get more and more comfortable every day! Happy New Year ladies!

[@tamidelaney45]

I haven’t seen your videos in a long time. I can’t believe how beautiful you both look.I’m so very happy for you guys . The deep love that you both have for each other is truly incredible.Thank you for sharing your journey with everyone. ❤❤

[@michellee6812]

Love you two! Keep up the great work ❤

[@barbp8618]

Glad you are healing💗

[@cameron21086]

Thanks for the update, and best of luck on your vocal therapy!

[@pamelacrandell2015]

I also love seeing more of Shayes sense of humor and confidence. Amanda you have a heart of gold. Seeing both of you and the love and compassion you both have.😊😊😊🎉🎉

[@makahiyajay]

She sounds so soft I love her voice definitely going to get better! 😍

[@aliciaweiss326]

So happy to see this video. As I know little about the recovery from this surgery, I didn't know if I should be concerned by Shaye's silence at this point. As someone with training in neuroscience, the conversation about the brain-vocal cord connection was fascinating. I should have known that, but guess I never thought about it. Two such beautiful women in one house!!! It was also really nice to hear Shaye speak about Amanda's strengths and work, as much of the videos focus on issues around Shaye's transition. Lots of love to you both.

[@ericb3826]

You two are so beautiful! Love your story!!!

[@lesleyM84]

this super fierce, super sacred, super vulnerable, definitely very “ouchie”😣🥺🥹, challenging, beautiful huuuge accomplishment and adventure you are navigating!! ….. just SO pro you both!!! hip hip hooray and so much pure love to you both.. Shaye, you are just truly, truly astonishingly astounding ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ and Amanda, just so fierce thank you for filming us this update.. Shaye, your voice is as serene and calm, sweet and unique as you are.. it is lovely and so are you☺️🥹

[@beautifulgirl219]

I've been waiting for this video, so great to see you both doing so well Shaye and Amanda. I said a prayer that Shaye will exactly the voice she wants, so start expecting that to happen. Cheers and love to you both. :)

[@WrongMonkey]

Just wanted to check in to hear the sample of her voice but the conversation was so engaging that I stayed till the last. Such a beautiful couple and family!

[@melindamcmahon9711]

I definitely can hear the new Shaye and yes you sound amazing, but I can still hear a bit of your old voice which through all your videos I have come to love. You have such a distinct voice. I am happy for you and Amanda and thank you for sharing your journey.

[@jamie9364]

I adore you guys so much. I've said it elsewhere but it is true. Thank you for being you.

[@colleenrichardson5339]

Your voice sounds great!!❤

[@lynnealuebben1967]

Both of you are so inspiring to me. You show the grace of Love, the understanding that we are fluid as humans. This life, in all of it's complexity is fluid. We see the most pain, when things are stuck, when they do not move...we atrophy. Wishing you so much love, joy and peace on your journey.

[@ginamarquardt-sz8xm]

I have been waiting for an update. So happy for you all. ❤

[@5280Recreation]

Yay!!! Ya’ll are such pretty ladies. Greetings from Colorado from a couple X-mos

[@hellominneapolis]

Thank you for sharing with us! Shaye, you sound amazing and you look so happy.

[@carolefletcher]

Oh gosh, love, the things you go through. Very best of luck with training your vocal cords. 💌

[@elarabeeeee]

So happy for you Shaye! You already sound so good. I love this for you!

[@shawne7228]

I can't wait to hear how her voice improves and heals. I'm sure right now it's just a starting point.

[@a.tree.journal]

Just adding one more voice of support and love! You are both brave and beautiful. 💗

[@pdk9903]

Shaye, you have an advantage for this vocal process in your musicality! I kind of went through a similar process from "back of throat" when I started opera; my native language is spoken quite far back and it was HARD to bring the voice forward. For me it was also a question of daring to be seen and heard, it was such a psychological process too. My go to trick to "reset" was to vocalize on "nnn" while blocking one nostril at a time, got me right up in the sinuses. 😅 I wish you the best of luck on your journey, love following along!

[@cynthiamoralesny]

Happy that your transition has been a great success. May you both enjoy the journey and grow old together.✌🏽🪔❤️

[@umatr2me656]

I cherish the opportunity to hear about your adventure, your love for each other and your beautiful family, and I love you guys so much. I am one of your huge community of supporters who are learning and growing. This have been a gift to all of us.

[@jillpavel5975]

I am just so happy for you Shaye! I hope you continue to have a good recovery.

[@angelagovig1450]

I’d been waiting for the big reveal! Congrats!

[@tosha_dor]

Thank you for the update! So happy to be a part of your journey and witness what wonders a human body is capable of!

[@adelinecarrillo2875]

You two are remarkable ❤️ 😊 I love watching you both speak and interact and I love your love Sooo absolutely beautiful

[@tamasurusrex]

It reminds me of learning to sing and control different parts of your throat, feeling it in different parts of your body, controlling things you didn’t know you could control, or that they even existed… so fascinating, that last psychological part! Love it and love your journey 🫶🏻 you two are so so lovely!

[@ljlundwall1038]

So awesome love the content❤...so wild u live in my city🎉 it needs more variety you both are so brave.💪🙏

[@Infiniteavatar]

I bet there really is plenty of variety but they haven’t come out of the proverbial closet yet. Shaye and Amanda are helping to let some light in.

[@Jodivalley]

Every time I see you two, it brings a smile to my face. You're both are so cute with love so deep, it's truly an inspiration. The kids obviously have gotten the best from both of you.

[@sidroj7]

This was definitely right for you! You look radiant!

[@skylerrosenthal5473]

I’m so glad that you are able to feel more like yourself after this surgery. Love to see this amazing journey. I’m so happy for you Shaye

[@ElleTowan]

You are both such an inspiration ❤ you have been so helpful in me understanding my own path of transition 😊

[@heavymetalbarbie]

you sound amazing already! I get my new voice in 3 weeks im so excited!! love you ladies!!💜💜

[@maggiemacha5552]

I love that your family uses Who Gives A Crap TP and that they sponsored this video! So glad to hear that Shaye is doing so well with voice therapy! I appreciate this update ❤ Much love and Happy New Year 🎉

[@PedroTawa]

[@kristenhart4984]

Love you both!

[@LilithRouen]

So happy you’ve found your voice! I swear you guys are the role model for how I want my next relationship to be!!❤

[@MariannaMujica]

Hi Amanda and Shaye. I hadn't watched one of your videos I guess since the last vocal surgery one. Shaye, I don't know if I missed it but your face structure etc. is looking super feminine. You look stunning and I don't make nice. I tell the truth. Yeah yeah we already knew Amanda is awesome and pretty. But this is your turn to shine. Altho, you could not have picked a better spouse. The voice will come. Just like all these other changes. You are an awesome role model for my trans daughter! Thank you for having the courage to become you. ❤❤❤

[@maddienreeree]

Love y'all ❤

[@Kaytee318]

Sounding Great Shaye and I love how the like count was just going as the video played!

[@mollylysowski6656]

Ahh u sound so beautiful so happy for u two u really sound good sweets ❤

[@SavageInsomniacRadio]

Hi Shaye and Amanda, i came across your channel after I've been on a marathon watch of a variety of youtube channels. I wanted to say that I thought your voice sounds very nice, and it reminds me a little bit of my voice. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

[@SuperClare]

Glad everything went well! ❤

[@donmasters9601]

You sound...happy and confident! I am very happy for you. Thanks for sharing.

[@melissaboyd3331]

Very happy for you ❤

[@pippadot679]

I prayed that your voice would come through just the way you wanted. You've done amazing working through this process.

[@Dandelliondreams]

Nice! Now we're looking forward to Shaye singing to those beautiful piano sessions ❤

[@VensVibrantNailsandBeauty]

Oh my goodness! It's incredible how different she sounds! It sounds so rich and feminine already, and it's going to get even better than this? Are you freaking kidding me right now? I'm so flipping happy for you Shaye! I hope you continue to love ypur new coice more and more as heal and work on all that rehab! How rad, girl!

[@ashleymarie5093]

You sound great! Really pretty and its going go get so much better

[@erinobrien3291]

Oh my goodness. We have all seen Shaye smile, but watching this i feel like it's the first time I saw her real smile. For the first time I saw her smile with her whole face, eyes and all. You're gorgeous, both of you xx

[@Whitewolf1827]

Same i got teary eyed

[@lesleybeyersdorf]

Hope you love your new voice! So brave of yall to share your journey

[@require2451]

I love you guys so much ❤❤❤ Really giving me as a 15 year old trans kid in a Asian country Taiwan.

[@KJ-wh8fu]

Really appreciate you both-😊

[@sunnylilme]

You look and sound great. It's such an honor to watch your evolution to joy and authentic self❤

[@Pewo7140]

Two positive and beautiful women.

[@kelliewilkins6331]

Shayes going to be out talking Amanda in no time! Lovely to hear you become more comfortable with your voice ❤

[@karenvm7104]

you DO sound amazing! Not sickly at all! I'm very happy for you!!

[@marinamaja24]

Your such an amazing couple, love you 🥰 and I am still searching for my Amanda 😊

[@squirlle6]

Hi, I'm normally a silent watcher, but I just wanted to say how much I love how you two are including us in this journey. I myself am not part of the LGBTQA+ community, but I do have many loved ones who are a part of the community, so I try to learn as much as possible to be a better friend. Watching Shaye's transformation has been so beautiful. I can see how her confidence has grown so much since the beginning of her transition. Seeing Amanda be so supportive has helped me to be a better support system for my loved ones. Amanda and Shaye both embody what love is. Thank you to you both! As a side note, I'd love to hear both of your thoughts on J.K. Rowling, since I know your family are very connected with the series. I have found it very difficult to support someone who is so openly transphobic, but I also grew up loving the series, so I love hearing different LGBTQA+ members' thoughts.

[@patrickrobertson7290]

The more I look at the two of you, who are two beautiful women, the more you remind me of Mira Sorvino and Lauren Graham. Has anyone told you that before? Anyway, thanks for sharing your lives and transition (both, since one can’t transition without the other) with all of us. It takes guts and you have that and so much more. Cheers and I hope you continue to have a speedy recovery!

[@etherealradar]

Wow, you really hear it well at 8:02!!! ❤ I know exactly how she feels about intellectually understanding gender affirming care is valuable and saves lives to then experience it is humbling, surprising and live giving.

[@bonniemiller5316]

You sound sounds great Shaye.

[@Mayala-b3p]

The ad 😂😂😂😂 how can Amanda keep a straight face

[@ChrisSollinger]

I love you both, thank you x

[@lindseybotelho]

Shaye sounds so good already

[@OliTalks1010]

🥰😍Big hugs to you both beautiful women 😍🥰

[@marciabogoyavlensky106]

You sound amazing ❤❤❤

[@annaestores2307]

I did notice that she is talking more. Congratulations! I am glad you are happy with the results.
