Hallie comes out as transgender

Well that's the end of that speculation, good for her

Quote:

Big Brother contestant Hallie has come out as transgender to her fellow housemates, admitting she felt she wasn't being 'authentic' by not telling them.

The youth worker, 18, was seen entering the show's famous house on ITV on Sunday night as the programme returned to British television after a five year hiatus.

She chose not to tell her fellow series contestants her story on the launch night but had a change of hear the following day.

In scenes set to air on ITV2 and ITVX on Monday night, the housemates will be seen gathered at the dining table discussing their living situation.

Hallie says: 'Hey guys, I just have something to say. Yesterday I feel like I wasn’t being 100% authentic in myself.'

She adds: 'I thought I’d let everyone know I’m trans, if you didn’t know already. I just thought I’d make that loud and clear. I’m a trans woman if you didn’t know.'

Hallie’s fellow housemates give her a hug, with Chanelle saying: 'Good for you. That’s very brave of you.”

As the housemates show their support to Hallie, Dylan says: 'This is a moment. I like it.'

Hallie says: 'I don’t know why I was nervous,' prompting Farida to say: 'You don’t need to be nervous.'

Trish tells Hallie: 'We’ve got you.'

Hallie is not the first transgender housemate to appear on Big Brother - trans woman Nadia Almada won the show in in 2004 and trans man Luke Anderson triumphed in 2012.

My brother said this the minute she stepped out of the car. Having him be right is not a good precedent to set.....

I honestly didn't notice at first, which is a "good" thing, right? I dunno how it all works. But the more i see her in the live feed and on the live and late show thing, it was becoming more obvious. Good luck to her.

just the size lol was the giveaway - bit bad of BB to try and make it a guessing game - just be truthful and say

I knew last night, it was her voice that gave it away

My mum called it during her VT.

I saw this on tattle last night, wouldn't really have known although after I found out I could see her face looks kinda manly and also she's insanely tall

Also, for anyone in the know, would that explain her looking quite a bit older than 18? Maybe the hormones taken and medication during her transition?

As soon as I clocked Halle's height and build, I basically knew. She's about 6 feet 6 tall, and the voice is kinda deep.

Apart from that observation, it's her life. I just feel a bit sorry for her being so tall.

I wouldn't have suspected if she'd been 5 feet 8.

I think more than anything they were respectful and letting her tell her own story however she wanted.

It was far more respectful than the approach in BB5 when everyone was constantly wondering if Nadia was a man and when a housemate was evicted Davina would tell them just to get their reaction on tv.

Not to mention the amount of jokes made at Nadia's expense on the spin off show.

Being a bit crude, I wonder if she has had the op.

Down there.

I mean, her swimming pants might give it away but I've heard they use tape.

Yeah knowing this now I'm impressed by how they handled it with total equality.

Had they led in with it during her entrance you would have had victims of identity politics getting in a tizzy that her inclusion was pure tokenism. They completely avoided that and she's in there on her own merit.

Yeah I wouldn't have noticed if she wasn't so tall.

I'm not sure I'd say it's bad of BB or that they're making it a guessing game, she just might not have wanted everyone to know straight away. I don't think I would at first, not until I've sussed everyone out

I wonder what Harry's reaction was...

I always forget Luke A is trans

Tbf it would’ve been worse had BB revealed it to the audience before she did. I know that’s what happened with Nadia but that was way back in 2004, so

Its Nadia all over again with you Parmy, you were not to know

…the thing that I noticed more than anything else about her is just how warm and friendly and embracing she was to all of the other housemates…immediately welcoming them the most…a really heartwarming personality, I feel…🩷
