I’m seeing that as an on the nose joke about racism, but it doesn’t seem very offensive, and I’m not seeing anything about transphobia. Care to enlighten me?
Nah The Todd was great, they joked about him coming on strong but his sexuality was never the butt of anything meanspirited. As far as I recall his realization that he was bi was tasteful enough.
The Todd advertises his website which includes the T slur on his shirt in one episode.
His character is also, imo, bi-erasure. The episode where he “comes out” as bi, nobody even says the word bi. When asked “what are you,” he just says “I’m the Todd.”
Further, he plays into the stereotype that bi people are extra promiscuous or sexually deviant.

I mean I’ve seen every one, but granted it’s been years. Nothing is jumping out at first remembering
Maybe something with the Todd? It would almost have to be if it’s there

No you’re totally right, and now that I think about it it could be Kelso too calling one of his son Harrison’s lovers a t slur or something similar

So no, I do not think Todd gets a pass.
