Big Brother fans praise transgender Hallie for ‘educating’ housemates after Farida asks her: ‘The men attracted to you, would they be classed as gay?’

Big Brother fans praised Halle for ‘educating’ her fellow housemates about trans issues during Tuesday’s episode.

Hali, 18, who is transgender, was asked by her friend Farida, 50, about dating as a trans woman.

Wolverhampton-born Farida wanted to know what sexual orientation men who date trans women would consider.

Speaking to Hallie, she asked: ‘So you know men who are attracted to you, would they be classified as gay?’

Hallie, looking a little unimpressed, said, ‘I’m a woman.’

Hallie said: “I don't see them as gay.  I see they like the woman.  There are different types of sexuality'

Hallie said: “I don’t see them as gay. I see they like the woman. There are different types of sexuality’

Farida replied: ‘Yes, you are a woman, but you are trans…’

“I don’t see them as gay,” Hallie said. “I can see they like the woman.” There are different types of sexuality.

“After all, I am a woman. If a guy were to be with me and be gay, that calls me a man, you know what I mean?’

Farida then asked: ‘But sexually, do you still have your male organs?’

Hallie replied: ‘Yes, but I won’t have sex until I get my vagina.’

In Monday’s episode, Halle told her fellow housemates that if she won the £100,000 prize, she would use some of the money for gender reassignment surgery.

Farida said, ‘So you wouldn’t go with anyone…?

“Until I complete my full transition,” said Hallie.

Farida then asked: ‘And that is your right. And if you went with a guy, would you tell them (you’re trans)?’

“Oh yes, 100 percent,” said Hallie. “That’s one of the first things I would mention. Out of respect, I’ll tell you and if you can’t love that part of me, you can’t love me.’

Halli later discussed the moment with her housemates, saying: ‘When Farida said to me, “if a man was with you, does that make them gay?” I was like no, I’m a woman, they love me like I’m a woman. She was all confused.’

Hallie then admitted that Farida’s questions were “frustrating” and added: “I said you need to relax honey. If that made them gay, I’d be a man.’

Later, Farida and Hali broke the ice, with Farida saying, “The thing is, I don’t believe in bullying. I was just curious because I feel like it’s my first chance… to be a social experiment here. Different people celebrate their culture and what they are about.’

Hallie said: “After all, I am a woman.  If a guy were to be with me and be gay, that calls me a man, you know what I mean?'

A third fan wrote: ‘Faridah and Hali’s conversation is very healthy, the younger generation is educating the older generation.’

A fourth wrote: ‘Faridah is very direct, we hope she doesn’t start rubbing people the wrong way, Halle handled it well.’

Petty added: “The conversation between the two was actually needed and it’s great to see Farida asking questions and Hali educating her! We need more of this.’

Big Brother continues on Wednesdays at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
