Adding onto the other comment, while not slurs specifically, the main character is dating a trans woman and is ashamed to be seen out with her, and be affectionate with her for fear of people seeing them together. This could be triggering for a trans person who has experienced this type of thing.

In the episode "Over Logging" the word "she***e" is used. There's likely other episodes that have this, but this was the one that came to mind.

In every episode with Carmen and at least "The Gang Exploits The Mortgage Crisis".

Carmen is almost exclusively called by the T-slur.

Also "she-male" and "he-she" are used in The Gang Cracks The Liberty Bell and The Gang Solves The Bathroom Problem respectively.

Also the word "hermaphrodite" is used to refer to intersex people in The Gang Solves The Bathroom Problem.

Prior to season 7 video messages were delivered with a transphobic slur
There is a challenge in episode 2 of season 2 set to a song with repeated use of transphobic slurs
There is an acting challenge in season 3 episode 3 a transphobic slur is used during an acting challenge

Those are the examples I can think of, but earlier seasons really are full of transphobic slurs
