As for Farida, well technically Hallie is a 'biological male', she might not like that but there's no getting away from that, and truth of the matter is ... there will be straight blokes out there that will not feel comfortable dating a trans woman .

But Farida never actually called her a man, and she respects her pronouns . It was more about the biological side of it and the fact she hasn't had the full surgery yet.

I just think people get too hyper sensitive these days, especially around this topic. I think the only reason Farida felt that confortable with approaching Hallie that way in front of everyone was because Hallie had already talked about it, and said she's an 'open book'.

Sure Farida could have had this conversion as a 1 to 1 in private, but i think Hallie would have still been offended. And I think Hallie is a bit passive aggressive with how she dropped Farida in it.

Farida's personality is strong and i think people are intimidated by it, but i don't think she ever means to offend. It's like with the whole salmon situation and the whole kitchen and announcing the meeting thing . I think she's just misunderstood.

….there’s also I think, been a huge wave of negativity toward the trans community so I can understand some frustration at being thought of as male when she is in fact a trans female…and yes, she did say that she was open to questions, when she revealed it to the group, she said …if anyone has any questions, or something similar…it doesn’t mean though that she wasn’t unprepared though for the questions when they were posed with Farida…Hallie is only 18years old and beginning her adult life…and she’s obviously opening herself up to some very close public scrutiny….I didn’t find her passive aggressive at all, she may have been taken aback a bit …but she responded very well indeed…
