Briel Adams-Wheatley was born without limbs, and in a recent response on her Instagram, she addressed one of the most frequently asked questions she and her husband receive.
With more than 1 million followers on Instagram and 5 million on TikTok, Adams-Wheatley has become a source of inspiration for many. On her social media platforms, she shares glimpses of her life as a transgender woman born with a rare condition called Hanhart syndrome, which resulted in her being born without limbs.
She posts makeup tutorials, cooking videos, and moments from her everyday life, including her relationship with her husband, Adam.
Last year, the couple addressed a question they are often asked, sharing a video captioned: “A question I’ve been getting a lot lately so here’s my husband’s response!”

In the video, Adams-Wheatley spoke about when Adam first knew about her transition.
“I started my transition a year after we got married, right?” she said.
“I think so, but you told me way before everybody else,” Adam replied, according to VT.
Adams-Wheatley continued: “Yeah, I had also told him a little bit before we got married, too, that I was having feelings about it, but I just wasn’t sure if it was something I was comfortable with actually fully going into, or just keeping suppressed, and if he was comfortable with it and everything.
“But Adam was the first person to know before everyone. And I waited a few months before I did it publicly as well. I had already started a few things behind the scenes.”
“It was just a lot of learning”
Adam also shared his perspective.
“I really couldn’t care less about her transitioning. I mean, like, I’m very happy that she found who she is. And I’ve seen a big difference in her happiness and confidence and everything. But I mean, I fell in love with her and not what she was, just who she was,” he said, adding:
“It was hard going from like pronouns for more than one reason. One, because I knew before everybody else. So I had to use he/him in front of people, and I couldn’t remember who she had told yet or not.
“And so it was really confusing to use one thing at home and another [outside their home]. And then as soon as I got the pronouns under control, she changed her name and then started wearing wigs.
“It was just a lot of learning, learning, learning, learning, learning. But it was a good journey. She was patient with me.”
