The main character is assaulted at a party before the beginning of the show. There are not graphic scenes, but in the first episode, she is shown drinking a drugged drink and passing out. She was unconscious during the attack (not shown), and she wakes up after the unknown rapist is gone.

In episode 3 they think they're looking for the kid's father but it turns out she's transitioned to female. When he finds out he blames her and calls her a circus freak and they continue to misgender her for some time after.

Yes, this show is from 2004 and there is very much period-typical homophobic comments/language there is also an entire arc surrounding framing a guy for being gay who isn't gay as well as actually gay characters are harassed in the same episode.

In one of the early S2 episodes, students are put into a prison experiment/challenge. One student playing a guard harrasses a jewish student who’s playing prisoner, spouting antisemitic jokes throughout the episode.

Not "Man in dress" exactly but in the same vein there is a scene played for laughs where guys hire their friend a transgender sex worker. The friend does not know this until he realizes the woman he is hooking up with has a penis, he freaks out and asks "What is that?" and the woman responds by asking "What do you call yours?" it's all played for laughs and it's a very off-putting scene.
