I remember some kinda problematic depictions of sex workers and trans folk (mostly in A Game of You), but it's been a while since I've read it. And to be fair to Gaiman, he was clearly trying to be inclusive but ended up missing the mark rather than being intentionally malicious.
Oh yeah the sorceress who can't take the trans woman on a trip on the moon road because she's not a "real woman". I always took it as the character being transphobic, not Gaiman, but it was the 80's/90's, by 2020 standards it's kinda yikes
why is it not perfect?
