Yeah, great show overall, but that episode and a few of the subsequent episodes with the trans character (played by a cis woman, of course), and nearly unwatchable for the reasons other people mention on the comments.
I can only guess that in their minds they were setting up Mac's storyline, but it's extremely transphobic and not cool. They have since made apologies about that episode on particular, and the show is much better in more recent seasons.

They weren't setting anything up. It was 2006. Those were normal jokes then.
