I think the answer is yes for both and it doesn’t make anyone racist or in the case of this show transphobic. Again Julia made a movie about it and was on this show to talk about it AND said she was okay talking about the surgery.
It’s not the job of every Transperson to explain being trans to non trans people, any more than it’s every black persona job to talk about this experience with racism. But it is the job of some people at their choice. If I can’t talk to Rev. Jesse Jackson about being black then yes you can’t ask Julia about trans either. Julia made a documentary about it and was on this show to talk about that documentary. I don’t walk up to Rev. Jackson on the street and say ‘What’s it like trying to get a home loan?’ And This didn’t happen to Julia either, she could have said no.
