Hallie then says: “Hey guys, I just have something to say. Yesterday I feel like I wasn’t being 100% authentic in myself.”
She’ll be seen to add: “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.”
