Do you consider South Park transphobic?

Idk why I've seen some people saying that.

The episode with Heather clearly wasn't a critique of trans people in sports, but rather a satire of people seeing transphobia in criticism of malicious people pretending to be trans to gain advantages. Heather even says she identified as a woman "two weeks ago." I mean, she clearly isn't really a woman, just an opportunist, and the episode doesn't imply that all trans people are like that.

People talk about Mr. Garrison being a stereotypical and offensive representation of LGBT people, but who really considers Mr. Garrison a representation of anything other than someone deeply horrible? He's racist, schizophrenic, probably a rapist. Nothing Garrison does should be taken seriously as an example. It's the same as saying Cartman is a prejudiced stereotype of psychopaths and doesn't adequately represent people who actually have that condition.
