In the episode "Over Logging" the word "she***e" is used. There's likely other episodes that have this, but this was the one that came to mind.

In every episode with Carmen and at least "The Gang Exploits The Mortgage Crisis".
Carmen is almost exclusively called by the T-slur.
Also "she-male" and "he-she" are used in The Gang Cracks The Liberty Bell and The Gang Solves The Bathroom Problem respectively.
Also the word "hermaphrodite" is used to refer to intersex people in The Gang Solves The Bathroom Problem.

koga used to call arashi "okama bastard" but then he change it to "ari" bc he doesnt like arashi's expression everytime he calls her that and subaru calls arashi "okama". okama means a gay man, in the context of japanese culture, especially to a person who is effeminate and cross dressing

Prior to season 7 video messages were delivered with a transphobic slur
There is a challenge in episode 2 of season 2 set to a song with repeated use of transphobic slurs
There is an acting challenge in season 3 episode 3 a transphobic slur is used during an acting challenge
Those are the examples I can think of, but earlier seasons really are full of transphobic slurs

The slur tranny is used, and being trans is depicted as something negative, though the receiver is not a trans person
She-male appears printed on a shirt, but this time not referencing a trans person, but an affeminate man

Use of the T-slur to refer to a presumably cis male in a derogatory way. This is fortunately the only use of transphobic slurs in the series but there’s still other kinds of transphobic content even in the same episode
