As in most episodes, this one was satirical. Satire is satire, whatever the topic is, and I don’t consider this episode to be disrespectful.
Inclusion of transgender women in sports was a society subject at the time (and still is, 20 years later) and Futurama brought this with its usual style, no special treatment (THAT would have been disrespectful).
Good episode imo.
Definitely one of the weaker Futurama episodes. As always with the show, there's some great humor, but the retrograde gender stuff really dates a lot of it, and the story is thin and falls apart pretty quickly. There's a lot of good Calculon moments, and Bender's actual affection for Calculon is interesting, but there's just not much keeping the episode together.
Calculon is just amazing in this episode.

Am I a terrible person for enjoying this one? Bender's been on a roll the past 2 episodes, in my mind.
