I liked this episode, although it was so heavy handed I found it more amusing than funny. The weird transphobic joke (no, not a tumblrina, just really tired of 'Well, she used to be a man!' lines) combined with the tired 'this guy is a closeted gay man, as found out through a gay misunderstanding' thing in an earlier episode (Scully's line about 'It's hard to believe in 2016...' was my thought exactly re: that plotline (not to imply that closeted gay people Don't Need to Exist Anymore, but it just felt very outdated)) left me meh.

I saw the uproar over the "transphobic joke", but honestly, I don't see it that way. Mulder, an uncool middle aged white dude, is trying his best to explain it to another uncool middle aged white dude who is actually an ancient lizard creature to whom ALL aspects of humanity are completely foreign concepts. Mulder isn't doing a great job, but considering the circumstances (i.e. ancient lizard creature), he's trying the best he can. There's nothing dismissive or "hur hur hur look at the tranny" about the conversation, he's just trying to explain the biology to a creature who is not familiar with human biology or concepts of gender.
