Katie Couric asked transgender model Carmen Carrera about her ‘private parts’
In 2014, the television personality invited Carrera to appear on her talk show “Katie.” After Carrera discussed her modeling career, Couric began asking about her transition. She asked, “Was the whole process painful, physically, for you?” and, “Your private parts are different now, aren’t they?”
The second question caused Carrera to shush Couric. “I don’t want to talk about it because it’s really personal,” she said. Carrera continued, “I don’t know. I’d rather talk about my modeling stuff. I’d rather talk about being in W and maybe being in Italian Vogue…” It turns out that people are more than just gender identities!
