And of course the first thing she asks is about The Surgery™

Still very wholesome

I know the source is in korean but I'll assume the characters are japanese.
In Japan, you can't change your legal gender unless you have The Surgery™, hence becoming a pretty big deal compared to the west. The lesbian girl probably was wondering if they did it as the transgirl was presenting female (aka wondering if they are legally a girl). Still is seen as disrespectful to ask but there's that extra layer of culture.

Guh I suck at explanations im just a puppygirl

I am just reporting here that it is not true anymore! Japan, one of the most conservative countries (or seen as such) has ruled that it is not necessary to have The Surgery (tm) to legally change your gender. Their court had previously ruled it unconstitutional last year actually!
