Transsexual / Transgender Spouses - Embracing Hope, an interview

If there is just one of these videos that you watch, it should be this one. I interview Randi and Shellie from Phoenix, Arizona. Randi just recently transitioned successfully from male to female while on the job, and her relationship with her spouse Shellie has withstood the test of time. Shellie and Randi explain some of those reasons, and they encourage anyone who is transgendered / transsexual, or is a friend, family member,or spouse of someone who is transgendered, that they can hold on to hope and overcome the trials that come your way.

And even STILL they dare me to hope. Behind the scenes, they are as amazing as in front of the camera.

Where do I start. What should I say.

Randi, I have the fondest memories of you, your brothers, your parents, Rebel. I had to watch the video a time or to to really see you, I could tell it was you from the start but it needed to sink in. it has. You looked happy, content, in a relationship that has endured more than I could imagine. I hope the most difficult times are over and wish that you enjoy life to the fullest. I will allways be here if you need family, and you know my mom will to, Jack

@LoveMichiru Transgender people are intersex, and transexual people are changing their body because they're not content with it.

Thank you for sharing. I lost my wife over the very same thing. My ex was my best friend and when she left it felt like I died!!!

Enough of me I am happy to see a couple like Randi and Shellie.  It proves true love and understanding can over come anything!!!

Best wishes Nancy

Still catching up on old vlogs. Shellie's little speech made me cry. It was beautiful. I also have a soft spot for trans partners, since I love my own dearly.

I'm so glad for them that they have created a new relationship that works for both of them. Thanks for this interview!
