At the end of the episode there is a revelation courtesy of the "monster" that reveals futher context to the drugged assaults that resulted in the pregnancy of multiple wemon.
This revelation appears to be intended to completely recontextualize the assults as "experiments" performed. The reception to the revelation results in the victims expressing acceptance and forgiveness towards the "monster" who was at the very least complicant in the crimes (the exstend of his involvment is never clarified), and even happiness in response to the resulting pregnancies. They are shown late in the episode happily with their babies on Jerry Springer.

S2 E20: A man is often seen drinking from a flask that he seems to carry everywhere, and not in the context of socialising. Towards the end, we learn part of what he has to deal with emotionally. In the end, we're told that he's died of advanced cirrhosis of the liver.

Perhaps more like an animal friend... In S2 E18, a gorilla (who speaks in sign language a few times) to whom a woman is extremely attached dies, and the woman wails by its dead body. It's easy to see in most scenes that the gorilla is an actor in a gorilla suit, but still.

The humans seem willing, but only after being supernaturally influenced, so it's not really consent

A ghost is regularly present throughout most of the episode, either seen directly or through its effect on the physical world: It moves objects and people, and kills people as well. It injures and kills only bad guys, trying to protect someone it cares for and to help solve its own murder case. We know who the person was in life, and we're meant to be on the person's/ghost's side.

All through season 8! Most of the scenes are not at all graphic but listing here:
S1e5: 22ish min audio only with man’s back to camera
S1e14: victim foams at mouth while choking. Mulder is shown swabbing lefotover foam on his mouth after. Same foam on victim’s mouth at 29/30 min. Not v* but was a bit triggering for me. 33:50 scully v* but she just runs off and gags/coughs. Not shown
S2e2: not v* but around 20:30 victim coughs up blood then expels a parasite from his mouth. Can be triggering
S2e15: very first scene, husband is heard coughing in bathroom and wife asks if he’s still feeling sick. Nothing shown
S3e4: 13:40ish man runs out of room and coughs/r*tches. Nothing shown
S3e8: coughing up water around 38 min and again around 40
S3e16: 38:58 man r*tching up black oil, you hear it before you see it
S3e20: 28:45 man runs out of room g*gging, nothing seen
S4e2: r*tching noises around 27:37, quick and nothing shown
S4e6: just before 24 min women starts coughing then g*gs and coughs out pins
S4e12: 32:30 to 33:07 man expels his lung out of his mouth. Not v* exactly but pretty gnarly
S4e18: around 14:50 subtitles say the man coming out of the lake is r*tching but audio to me just sounded like he was struggling to breath. I didn’t see anything
S5e15: 2:15ish man coughs and r*tches, nothing visible. At the end of the open the police officer walks up to the man laying on the floor and there is some substance around his mouth. There is also some g*gging noises (not v*) caused by a spiderlike creature portruding out
S6e19: brief r* noise after cop takes bite of chewing tobacco (very fake sounding and quick)
S6e20: during autopsy around 24:45, you know it’s coming. He runs out room and r* can be heard briefly
S7e12: some v* visible on floor around 24 min when they check on the victim in the bathroom
S7e18: no v* but some gnarly coughing up blood
S8e1: about 12:40 scully runs to the bathroom and coughs into the toilet, nothing shown and audio not bad
S8e11: creature in basement scene, apparently is a bit graphic. Scene comes just after skinner lifts up the rug around minute 24, screen will cut to a dark room
S1e5: 22ish min audio only with man’s back to camera

S7e18: no v* but some gnarly coughing up blood
S8e1: about 12:40 scully runs to the bathroom and coughs into the toilet, nothing shown and audio not bad
S8e11: creature in basement scene, apparently is a bit graphic. Scene comes just after skinner lifts up the rug around minute 24, screen will cut to a dark room

Depends on whether or not you consider FBI folks to be cops. The FBI are consistently competent, if sceptical, however all the police in the show are incompetent at best and several times (including the pilot episode) they’re actively involved in the deaths. The CIA are there occasionally, and are not looked on positively.

Arguable as to whether it’s a slur, but the episode title is “Genderbender”. Similarly, in the episode they use the word “transvestite” and talk in an outdated way (but typical of the time of production) about trans people, one man laughing about his brief hookup being a woman who “looked like a man”.

no, but one of the main characters, Dana Scully, is given reproductive trauma during multiple arcs. In s4e14 there is a mention of women's ova being taken from them against their will, this is being brought up again in s5e6-7 with added themes of adoption, failed adoption and death of a child. s8e13 talks about infertility and has a failed IVF attempt.

No, but s1e14 portrays very outdated views on gender and sexuality and the way the topic is presented can be read in a very harmful way. People who can "change ther gender/sex"(again, outdated views) are presented to be sexual predators.

Roland, someone who is described as “mentally challenged” in the episode (language typical of the early 90s - he appears to have some kind of learning disability) is infantilised, shouted at and driven to murder because of it. He is also depicted as occasionally aggressive and traumatised, has visions of himself attacking people and has an IQ score of 70 (stated explicitly in the episode), which is often considered to be an ableist and racist form of determining intelligence.

S2 E11 takes place at a "recovery facility" (stupid name for it) that takes (badly) care of people with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. We see some of the caregivers talking disrespectfully to and about patients and being rough, indifferent or insolent towards them. General physical deterioration and dementia are mentioned, but thankfully, no more specific symptoms are mentioned. Throughout most of the episode, the patients that we follow function just fine, because they're being treated with a special drug (fictional), but in the end, the treatment stops, and we see a few of them "put out", i.e. saying nothing, having unexpressive faces and doing very little. All of them are elderly. I actually don't think we see any patients whom we know to have Parkinson's. I'm extremely sensitive to Parkinson's depictions, since my father has it, and I made it through the episode okay. There are no scenes in which a patient overtly can't remember something, doesn't recognise someone or fumbles while trying to perform a task - they're "just" unresponsive. One of the patients is an artist, and while he's doing well because of the drug, we see him painting amazingly - a big mural worthy of any artist - but when he's back to being sick, we see him making a very simple drawing on a piece of paper. --- S2 E24: An autopsy shows that a woman had Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease and would've died from it within a few months if what killed her hadn't killed her. We're later told that 27 people had the disease.

Many episodes feature an autopsy scene, though the amount of gore shown is limited. Blood is a common occurrence. In addition, S3E4 features a CG animation of a decomposing body.
S4E2 is a particularly gruesome episode with a lot of blood and graphic violence.
S4E6 contains a scene with someone cutting and beginning to remove his own face.
S4E12 shows someone decapitated in a road accident. His body and severed head are shown in separate scenes.
S5E17, deals with a flesh-eating contageon.
