None explicit, however two adult women flirt with the protagonist, who is under 18 throughout the whole show, if that counts.

Not a trans person, but a serial killer in S1E8 is a man who crossdresses as a woman, if that counts.

GhostDog
Riza shoots at her dog when he pees in her floor (it is comedic, I guess, the whole "bullet outline all around you" gag). The dog is not injured.

Alexander the dog and Nina the girl are magically combined into a painfully suffering chimera creature who begs to be killed (and is).

In just about the most traumatic yet not explicitly gory way you can imagine :) well the death itself is a bit gory but no more than anything else in this thing... what happens before is the awful part. I bawled and yelled at my bf for showing me this when I explicitly asked for a lighthearted anime for once.
