Oh no, it's one of those episodes, again! - Lemmy

Meanwhile, Monty Python’s Life of Brian literally had a male character who identifies as female and everybody in the movie is cool with it
There's also the lumberjack song...
Just like my dear Papa!

You can make the argument the joke there isn’t so much that being trans is weird, it’s just that the singer starts with a stereotype and drastically shifts into something unrelated to the point the other stereotypical characters are confused and reject them. The joke is the singer didn’t read the room.

Not the best justification, I know, but it doesn’t feel especially hostile, just…typical of the time.
