Soon after responding to criticisms about the sitcom's lack of diversity, Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman expresses regret over the show's handling of Chandler's transgender parent. Co-created by Kauffman and David Crane, Friends premiered on NBC in 1994 and lasted for ten successful seasons before going off the air in 2004.

Lunacy.
“Friends” a sitcom about 20-30 yr olds living in New York. Remember when Joey got a turkey stuck on his head? Or when Phoebe thought the spirit of her dead mother was in a cat? It was a fun show. Now let’s list the apologies that need to be made 18 yrs after it ended.
🤷🏼♂️you don't know what you don't know. The awareness wasn't there at the time.
The dad wasn't transgender though, was he? Wasn't he just a drag queen?
This is so unnecessary, she never seemed to mind when she was referred to as 'he' so it's safe to say her pronouns were both he and she. There is literally nothing to apologize for, if anything it's progressive unintentionally.
Move on no one cares.
