Marta Kauffman has admitted that Friends bosses made a "mistake" by using the wrong pronouns to describe a transgender character.
In the show, Chandler Bing's parent is referred to as his "dad" despite identifying as a woman and co-creator Kauffman has insisted bosses on the show should have done better but errors were made because of a lack of understanding at the time.
Speaking on BBC World Service, Kauffman said: "We kept referring to her [Chandler's transgender parent] as 'Chandler's father', even though Chandler's father was trans.
"Pronouns were not yet something that I understood. So we didn't refer to that character as 'she'. That was a mistake."
