The couple, who have been married for 13 years and share three children, navigated the complexities of Shaye's transition together, overcoming challenges rooted in their religious upbringing as Mormons."When I came out to Amanda in 2019, it was difficult due to our religious background.
However, she has been incredibly supportive, and we decided to share our story to humanize transgender individuals for those who may not be familiar with our experiences," Scott told Newsweek.Three years after the beginning of her transition, Scott made a shocking discovery—her height had changed.
At 6 feet, 5 inches before starting her transition, Scott now stands at 6 feet, 2 inches and has gone down two shoe sizes."Estrogen brings about changes in the soft tissues of the body—cartilage, tendons, and ligaments—that can result in minor changes in height," Scott said. "I was aware that some trans women reported changes in their height and shoe size after being on estrogen for several years, but I wasn't sure what to expect personally."Changes in shoe size and height during hormone therapy have been documented.
