I'm just in Awe of you Amanda. You are an incredible human. To stand by your partner during this exciting, emotional transition. I do hope that you are also taking time to process and ride the roller-coaster of emotions I'm sure you've had along the way. I guess it's not just Shae that is Transitioning but your whole family. As a member of the LGBTQI+ community I just want to let you know that it's OK to not always be OK. Having highs and lows emotionally is OK. Taking time to cry and griev is OK. You are amazing! ❤

[@sarahdebrincat8218]

❤agree take care both of you

[@daniellegladstone7530]

100%! Totally agree ❤

[@teresayates332]

I don't think anyone could have said this better. As I watched Amanda talk about understanding why Shea wanted to have her surgery. It hit me. Of course that's could be a reason she wanted facial surgery. Looking in the mirrow and saying to myself that I don't like this or I don't like that. Of course Shea may want these things. Thank you for sharing this journey and being so open to let us in. Those of us that have watched the Scott family are here to support both of you!

[@garywalsh2664]

Also agree!!!! Your a beautiful couple amazing ❤️😘😊☘️🙏

[@JeHaVe]

I totally agree! Respect for both of you, and of course also for your family. I think lots of people in a similar situation can only dream of such a supportive family surrounding them. LOTS of love to all of you. LOTS of LOVE ❤❤❤

[@sallyshields6553]

God Amanda. You are an incredible woman. Articulate, smart, funny, compassionate. The whole pkg.

[@user-mp4zs2by9m]

I’m so grateful Skylar shared your channel. You are doing so much good by sharing your journey. Our world needs more love, acceptance & understanding. Thanks for adding so much to that. xx

[@nicholeabshire7288]

Visibility is such a brave choice--thank you for your bravery! It really helps so many and shines such a light of truth into what is misunderstood by so many. We're in quite a battle here in Texas and it really brings me hope to see your family willing to share so courageously. Thank you. Signed, the mom of a nonbinary kiddo.

[@GreatScotts]

Sending you and your child all the best!

[@Mollipoprocks]

It’s so critical that we use the opportunity given to us by people like you willing to share their stories as a chance to exercise empathy and understanding rather than coming to it from a place of personal opinion. I appreciate your honesty in all of this.

[@MONAponadrona]

I feel for you im trans but in norway and we have our shit too but yours is horrible. You are enough your kid is enough love is a powerful thing keep fighting.

[@Sarahchip]

Thank you for documenting this! While I say I am open and accepting of everyone, I don’t have anyone in my life that are going through something like this. It’s so eye opening on many levels to be able to see even a glimpse of your life. All the best ❤

[@LittleEmm1979]

So happy Shaye is able to take this step and live as her authentic self with you by her side. You are an example of true and unselfish love ❤

[@tanya32757]

Shaye, my teenage grandchild has gender dysphoria and has been bullied so badly at school that he is now doing online classes. You are an inspiration for him…. God Bless you and your family! 👍🙏💕

[@GreatScotts]

Sending lots of love to you and your grandson! 🤗

[@joannciccotelli6338]

Bless you Amanda. I have so many questions, mostly how it truly affects you. Your tears broke my heart . Much love and respect to you.

[@maryblakley3590]

I think more people do stick by their partner than is expected. As for "is Amanda now a lesbian"...how she chooses to identify is something she can share, or not.

[@DenaInWyo]

I 100% don't understand or pretend to know what the two of you are going through. But what I DO see is two human beings with incredible love for one another. Does anything else matter? The roles and day to day stuff will work itself out. And it won't matter how the two of you do it. It's your lives, not anyone else's. There is nothing here but love, how can any of it be wrong? Isn't it great that there are people moving past man made religion and heading toward just being human?

[@BenSwagnerd]

Your love reminds me of mine and my husband's. Im a trans man, he's a cis man. He met me after i was out, but i am still only socially transitioned (medical issues in the way). My husband is my biggest supporter, biggest fan, has my back no matter what choices i make for myself and my body. Watching your videos is making me so emotional. I almost thought my husband was the only person so magical. It gives me hope knowing he is not - all trans folks deserve to have a love like this (regardless of any genders involved really, we all deserve to be loved in a way that feels loving). Trans is beautiful Happy pride

[@lauriecailteux9451]

Prayers for healing and speedy recovery 🙏🏻. You both are so amazing. 💕

[@tracethomasvickers2224]

I’m so happy you’ve got Shaye’s back💯❤️ I wasn’t that fortunate. You have a beautiful family💚

[@lisadondlinger3138]

Sending you both lots of love! Amanda, you are quite possibly the most amazingly understanding, supportive and unconditionally loving person to walk this Earth!!

[@Kim-sg2vx]

There are sooo many more people struggling with this than anyone is aware of. You are both so wonderful for sharing your stories and helping so many. I love your family!

[@leonie3294]

Thank you Shaye for being honest with yourself and us and doing what feels right

[@maggie7648]

Sending good wishes to both of you. I know all of this isn't easy to share but it's 100% changing hearts & minds! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@kimengelhart4123]

Thank you for sharing!! ❤ I am proud of you and your bravery! My prayers are with you both!! My niece transitioned from male to female and had this type of surgery a few months ago. She’s not as open as you… I wish she was so I could share my support.

[@kelziebub1]

[@behape_4evr]

[@martinemcclean8098]

I can totally see why you would want the outside to match the inside, good on you!! All the best to both of you in this journey going forward, you're so lucky to have each other xx

[@lizmatthei3424]

Wishing you all the best healing and happiness going forward. Thank you for sharing this with us, it will help so many people.

[@jenniferingersoll5745]

I love this story in every way. I have a transgender daughter and I understand so many of the struggles and also the beauty of it all. The most important thing is loving, supporting and accepting. You are so lucky to have each other as well as your beautiful children ❤. I also left the Mormon church - it was too hard to have my daughter “othered”.

[@sarahweigley3962]

Thank you so much for your willingness to share your journey.

[@Durga695]

Wishing you good health and a good recovery, so that you'll be real pleased with the results.

[@jenniferw5087]

I have so much admiration for you both. It takes a lot of inner strength to share this journey. I thank you for doing that, helping people understand Wishing Shay an uneventful recovery

[@sophshorts]

[@SGVFOOTBALL]

Amanda, bless your heart and soul. Without you this is not possible.

[@valarya]

So happy Shaye can take the next step towards making herself feel true. 💜to your whole family!!!

[@ginapiersanti453]

Happy pride month you all! Thank you for sharing. Have always loved your videos and just so happy to see how you support and love each other. Lots of love from Brooklyn ❤

[@vanessagherardini2885]

Amanda...hugs. Remember to take care of yourself too.

[@maryhazlett]

I'm glad you are chronicling this journey. Hopefully it will help some people better understand what goes into these major decisions. I can't imagine anyone making these decisions on a whim. What I want to say to everyone is once upon a time we were taught manners. People seem to have forgotten them. If the urge to say something mean comes up, it's time to remember manners. Keep quiet and maybe you'll learn. The decisions the Scotts are making are not mine. I'm not part of the LGBTQ community. By practicing manners, however, keeping my mouth shut, and listening, [for years while I came to accept people are born gay. The only choice involved is self-acceptance or not] I learned and accepted. I'm able to speak out clearly when the subjects come up, as they do in these divisive times. So listen to the Scotts. We can help them by learning, and then speaking out when necessary.

[@cclose8007]

Sending healing wishes on this next step. Much love and light

[@Jill1313]

Your love for your wife is inspiring! God Bless you and your family!❤

[@robinleavitt7919]

Beautiful, and thank you for sharing your journey together. That is ❤

[@whitleygail25]

Amanda is me. I'm not Postivie, how I would handle the love of my life coming out as trans.... But my partner for the last 11 yrs... I'm very sure... is gay. I'm still here. He is still here. 💚 Life

[@moniceknuteson7205]

Praying for a smooth recovery! Thank you for bringing us on this journey. It truly is wonderful to see how loving you are Amanda, and how true you are being to yourself Shaye!

[@AlphieLaFray]

So proud of both of you, sending so much love.

[@PlainVanillaGrandmaCarol]

You are two brave people! Here's wishing you health and happiness and that the pain deminishes quickly. I can't wait to see your new face!

[@swango2011]

Good for you two! Heal quickly and just learn to accept yourself. Go with grace

[@elizabethfabricius376]

You're children are precious and your relationship is beautiful ❤️

[@eldavis1311]

Good luck with your recovery Thanks for sharing this with us

[@courtfritts]

I am so happy for your family❤ you already look so beautiful Shaye!

[@purplepixie00]

Sending lots of hugs to you all! I have a transgender daughter, she's almost 18 and about to graduate High School. She came out to us about two years ago, but only a few family members and friends know. We may be in a different situation but I understand feeling alone despite the support from those around you. Support and living with this are two very different things. I appreciate your honesty and I look forward to more videos about Shae's journey. It gives me hope as well as insight into what our future looks like.

[@jt25584]

Is she gonna move to thailand

[@kimikomainprize2921]

Thank you for sharing your story. You are such a beautiful family ❤

[@heatherpayne8576]

Wishing you a speedy recovery! ❤❤

[@raindancer3420]

sending love, really resonated with what you said about living life to the fullest.

[@ChrisB-bp4kp]

Your love and bond is so inspiring. What an amazing family, and I wish this could just be normal everywhere! Love is love, and your family is a shining example of this. I wish Shaye a speedy healing process. Can't wait to see how it all turns out. Thank you for sharing your journey. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I have to admit to being very unfamiliar with what it truly means to be trans, and what they go through. You are spreading understanding, and that is invaluable. As you continue on this beautiful journey, please know that you have so many traveling along with you! 💜💜💜

[@lizeldred5484]

im proud of shay on their coming out and their tansition and im proud of you for sticking by them in this x

[@ruthc4458]

Sending love to the Scott family. I hope Shaye’s recovery goes well. Your little guy is quite the ham and should keep Shaye entertained. I admire you all. Thanks for letting us know how things are going. 💕👍🙏🏻

[@jillsarah7356]

The commitment that you show to each other and to honoring yourselves is so awesome! Hoping the recovery goes smoothly and quickly for your whole family, and if it doesn’t, that’s okay too! You will get through this chapter!

[@user-ml8tm5bi4e]

Dear Amanda, I cannot imagine what you both have gone through together. I don't get the slightest idea of how Shaye could stand this long, waiting, wandering, being, and living with gender dysphoria. The physical transformation will promote a lot of pain, limitations, etc but the emotional and spiritual pain is by far the worst to carry along. On the other hand, Amanda had to face several challenges she has never thought existed. But in the end, you both have endured all the hindrances together and what's best with a great sense of humor! May God bless you with tons of happiness, love and great health! Take care! Big hugs from São Paulo, Brazil.

[@ericacosta987]

I am loving this! 💖💖💖 please feel all our Love and Respect 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@debrastutsman7379]

You go, girls! You are both brave, courageous, honest, and sweet. Thank you for opening yourselves up to a world that isn’t always kind. You have tons of support out here.❤

Hey I just wanna say that I may not agree with all your decisions but I am very happy for you guys that yall are happy! I hope you guys and your kids grow strong!!!! You go

[@robbjones6475]

Thank you again, I sat watching with a smile on my face the whole video. Again I am so jealous, if only I had been born 30-40 years later I know my whole life would have been happier.

[@eralonuva]

I think that more than anything I watch your videos because you are both so incredibly kind, beautiful inside and out, and have the most amazing friendship in your marriage. You're an example to people about so much more than the particular issues you're facing.

[@rubytuesday6515]

Love to you two 💜💜 and all your beautiful family ❤️

[@90210Lizzie]

I love you both. You are so brave to share, not least because of your Mormon background. I am not trans, and will never understand how it feels, but I had a great friend who passed away in the last year who was trans and I am educating myself properly so I can be a great ally. x

[@M.M435]

That is a great way to honor your friend.

[@renaissancewoman3770]

Most people just take one picture that I've seen haha! Filming after must have been painful. It's amazing to see your journey together ❤

Sending positive love and blessings to you all. So proud of you all. Godbless with your recovery 🌹❤️

[@jeanieolahful]

Yes, I have. I have friends, and the husband transitioned. Toke yourselves, they chafe children, and they are still together.

[@sarab8332]

Congratulations on the surgery, Shaye is going to be a beautiful woman. Did she get a tracheal shave during the surgery for the Adams Apple?

[@jojoply]

How are your kids coping with this?

[@jolenejacobs1]

We love you. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@buffy5kt]

God bless you both! You are so brave.

I'm so glad surgery and recovery went well. My trans wife and I are both working 2 jobs to get enough money for my wife's bottom surgery in January. She wants facial and vocal surgery eventually too.
