Triumph of the Weird
|
I don't feel we got to know them that to depth to give it that deep of a thought. Regardless, it's a bit awkward as a grown adult to label anyone a "role model" whom I have no direct connection with. It would be a burden for them, not a blessing.
Hallie did provide positive reasons to have a rethink on some things and I never did get the feeling they were forced on the public to the extent it normally would be, so that's a welcome shift. I knew someone pre-trans when I was much younger and their commentary and their handling of emotions was very similar. I don't even think there was a word for it then because this was well before it became trendy to transition. It was just expressed as "I'm not actually this gender", and it was a feeling that consumed them all the time. They had no exposure to trans-positive media obviously, but this was also before they were able to join any community. So it does exist outside of the pop culture phenomena. If Hallie can walk back into her life more secure with whoever they are on the inside, that would be a net "win" in my book, because showing how it can be done without promptly being stuffed into another box is a net positive. Whatever impression they left behind would be whatever it would be, but part of a greater exposure to individuals who happen to occupy a certain group (i.e. "representation"). However, if one goes on to live a fake life on social media, then "I want to be a role model for others" was just code for aspiring celebrity lol. Nothing wrong with becoming a public figure, but that person becomes a brand. They're not an individual anymore because there will always be expectations that they present a certain way.

Adios

The fact that most intelligent people see her as a human being and not the devil trying to do god knows what like most ignorant people do is amazing.
She has a lot of growing up to do, she’s of course very bratty but most 18yr olds are these days. But I am glad to see that she’s changed people minds. |

Hallie behaved like a precautious child. She isn't a role model for anything

I think so
I don’t believe you can change your sex and that a trans woman is a woman and Hallie didn’t change my opinion on that but I can respect Hallies right to live her life as a woman and she came across as a normal teen who has her strengths and weaknesses she has a lot of courage and I like her for who she is. Often trans people you see on the internet especially TikTok are almost cartoon like with their beards and boobs claiming to be woman one day and a man the next with their they them Zi/zem pronouns , it’s nice to see a normal trans woman just being herself Big brother often helps people change their minds and broaden their opinions of people they will never meet in real life and I think Hallie has helped the trans community by showing a genuine normal person instead the the characters you often see in the internet. |
