I love that Hallie is so open about her journey and is so open to explain different stuff, it must be a hard thing when it’s a subject that so many people are uneducated in so I suppose a few of the questions could be deemed as offensive because people just aren’t aware but she’s bloody amazing, I love her

I don’t, I think she’s a nark who will use her transgender journey as a weapon.

It was hardly announced to the entire group though like you suggested!

She was curious and asked questions. Hallie wasn't overly bothered by it and actually dealt with it in a really clear and concise way.

It's not that deep - Let it go :)

I think it also helps to understand what life is like as a strict muslim woman, living in a muslim community.

I’m sure she loves her life and is happy, but she was probably curious to ask because when does she ever get the chance to ask a transgender woman questions? It’s not a subject that would be raised in a conservative muslim household.

Same with sex, yes it may seem a bit forward to bring up genitalia and sex - but she probably just doesn’t realise it’s a personal subject because she’s not had much experience talking about it to realise.

She’s probably just a bit fascinated (in a good way). My old boss was a married muslim woman, she was always in disbelief that I could take someone home without approval from parents beforehand and discussing marriage.

I hope what I’m saying makes sense and doesn’t come across as making generalisations or whatever!

For me it's nothing to do with maintaining a taboo and everything to do with trying not to make Hallie feel like an "other" in front of the rest of the house. Hallie was clearly uncomfortable and just said she found it frustrating.

Then why announce it and say ‘ask me any questions’? She encouraged it and then used it as a means to be a witch. Sorry, she doesn’t get a free pass because she’s trans.

Absolutely - this is exactly it, very well put.

It is literally 2 extremes coming together and having an open and respectful discussion.

She’s a 18 year old girl who’s going on a really hard journey physically and mentally just to be the gender she was born to be, it’s actually inspirational to hear her talk about it on tv knowing how many people around the world are to scared to even tell anyone they are trapped in a different body. People need educating on stuff like this and that’s why people are asking questions, it’s a subject that isn’t touched on enough and it should be.

Olivia is far too aggressive. What a bell end.

Why does she keep shouting? It would do my head in. She doesn't seem a kind person.
Yinrun seems a sweetheart.

Henry really reminds me of someone - I think it is Tom Parker Bowles. Coincidentally a food reviewer too.
