Historically, Futurama dealt with gender and specifically trans issues quite poorly.Hopefully they have improved for this new season.
Originally I was annoyed at the display of
But I decided later to take it as Zapp growing as a person, having learned he can develop feelings for "men" - even though it was just Leela, and in a confused sort of way opened up to dating trans-women. And he is legitimately confused about the surprise, knowing full well this is a trans-women - and not the harmful joke about her still having her body's birth genitalia.
But yeah, hopefully they do a little better with this season on that front and I don't have to rely on home brewed explanations anymore.
Yeah between that and sexlexia, They could probably treat the whole situation better.
Zapp was supposed to be a shitty person, the sexlexia claim of his was exactly in that character.
