Ah damn, if I had waited two episodes before posting I'd have something to add. We've got some uncomfortable jokes about gender presentation and a very mild gay joke.
I don't think it's particularly egregious, especially given what was typical at this time, but we're presented with a character that is assumed to be a man as she looks just like a human male. There is a joke earlier on where the character undresses and the crew jokes about a certain lack down stairs.
At the end of the episode it's revealed that this is actually what women of her species look like and she professes her love for a male member of the crew, which is played as a joke. Another crew member who witnesses this then shortly after jokingly asks while flirting with a woman if she is really a female of her species. He is relieved when she says she is.
