Chandler's father was a homosexual transwoman. The show honestly described the discomfort and pain of young Chandler,who was justifiably deeply upset with his father fling with the family's male servant. (Chandler hated Thanksgiving because of those memories). He was also very uncomfortable with his father's transgenderism.He later kind of reconciles with him.If such an episode was even allowed to be aired today,Chandler would be painted as a horrible biggot and then forced to apologise on his knees to that failure of a father.

Edit. The show also honestly depicted Ross suffering when his wife left him for a woman and all the complications they both had to navigate by sharing custody of their son. I am a homosexual woman and I appreciate this,because I understand that the world is not centered around me and that other people have needs and dreams too.

Don't forget all of this happened in 1995, when simply showing a realistic lesbian relationship was progressive- and in that period, the simple fact they even said trans people existed itself would be as extremist-woke in 2023 as having the President and the Super Bowl MVP suck non-presenting girldick on the 50 yard line.

A sane, adult statement. Not at all uncommon to see with the LGBs, but exceedingly rare with the TQ+'es. It's almost as if two very different groups of people all got lumped under one ill fitting acronym.
