There is a brief scene in episode 1x21 that looks like consensual sex but both minors involved had been drugged with GHB. One of them had already been raped prior to this scene but it’s never shown on-screen.

Not "Man in dress" exactly but in the same vein there is a scene played for laughs where guys hire their friend a transgender sex worker. The friend does not know this until he realizes the woman he is hooking up with has a penis, he freaks out and asks "What is that?" and the woman responds by asking "What do you call yours?" it's all played for laughs and it's a very off-putting scene.

In episode 3 they think they're looking for the kid's father but it turns out she's transitioned to female. When he finds out he blames her and calls her a circus freak and they continue to misgender her for some time after.

(Spoilers for beginning of episode) Throughout the series but I want to highlight this specific episode bc there is a school shooting scenario in the beginning of the episode that caught me very off guard and was very unexpected. None of the students are harmed but there are several gun shots and the shooter is shot at the end of the scene.
