Ha! various depictions in TV can be cringeworthy.
I never saw Transparent, but there was a sound clip on Fresh Air on NPR of the show when Terry interviewed Jeffrey Tambor. Tambor's character is arguing with his daughter. She's complaining that when she said she didn't want a bar mitzvah, he was too quick to agree and cancel the event so that he could go to a CD convention. It was kind of a funny scene.
My favorite CD on TV is Carolyn (Jamie) from King of the Hill, with her overly supportive mother. "Um, I'm a friend of Carolyn..."
