One of the most uncomfortable episodes.
I had to look it up. Am I correct in thinking this was a transphobic episode?
Kinda. But it gets fucking crazy. Mr Garrison gets surgery to be trans fem. Kyle gets taller, black skin, and Mr Garrison's testicles as his new knees. Gerald becomes a dolphin. It's all over the place.
Matt and Trey use the writing technique of "but, therefore" which leads to very insane story threads (with their ribald thinking)

Southpark makes fun of literally every and anything, so yeah it could be considered transphobic lol. Just keep in mind the intention is to be gross, over the top, nonsensical, etc...
I hate the excuse of "making fun of everything"
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Eh, life is short, might as well find humor in things, if we tip toed around everything anyone could possibly get offended for, the world would be a pretty bleak place.
That's how you get idiots on Twitter getting offended at everything.
Humor isn't harmless, you are affecting the quality of life of minorities if you punch down on them for no reason.
I never claimed it was harmless
This one might have been, but a few seasons later you have “The Cissy”, probably the most trans-supportive episode they made.
South Park is always "edgy" in the safest way. Climate change was widely ridiculed when they made manbearpig, and the undertones of this one were definitely pretty bad. I give them a pass on mr/Mrs garrison because he's always been a piece of shit much like cartman, but the message with Gerald and Kyle is "surgery doesn't change who you really are." It dropped in 2005 so... Product of the time I guess?
