Not slurs, but trans people are the butt of the joke in several episodes

"Gay" is used in a negative connotation several times, most notably in S5:E6 where it is used repeatedly throughout the episode.

Claire regularly falls down the stairs. It is a repeated gag across several seasons. Other characters also fall at times

Sort of. Jay and Michael go to their high school reunion and meet someone they knew who has transitioned. Their interaction is framed somewhat concerningly.

There's a scene at the last episode where Michael admits he had sex with Jay while she was asleep
It's treated as a joke, but pretty disturbing

Michael kills a hamster and the dead hamster is then dragged around on a string for most of the episode. It's pretty gross.

Throughout the show there are fat jokes. There is a whole episode, S2 E5, surrounding Janet's weight gain.
