Another factor is we don't know the parameters around this "blurt out" you mentioned you were discussing harassment concerns but there may have been other statements mentioned that caused this reaction from him.
It does seem, there was some "shift" in his thoughts for that to happen and I would address it in therapy. I would tell him your uneasy feelings about such a blurt out.

What if she's objectively beautiful and it's not an opinion?
On a serious note, you have my sympathies, lifeamateur. I don't think it was appropriate on his part as it serves no therapeutic purposes – if you were exhibiting confidence issues in terms of your looks it could have been charitable, but that wasn't the scenario. My (generally) straight male therapist has never commented on my appearance, and I am very glad he hasn't. It doesn't seem important to him, which is excellent.
Phrasing is important though – you reported "blurted out" as if it was uncontrolled, accidental. I rather like the previous posts' assessments that he was merely offering a rationale. So – how "uncontrolled" was the "blurt"?
