@wolfgang59 saidNo, it was not ambiguous. You simply have not seen as many shows as I have.
The ambiguity was deliberate.
Either way I do not remember him being the butt of any jokes.
The on-going "joke" was that everyone treated him as
normal, as normal as people coming in with limbs
hanging off and their guts hanging out.
It was trying to get a section 8 discharge from the army for having a mental disorder. If you watch the series you will know I am right.

Section 8 is a category of discharge from the United States military, used for a service member judged mentally unfit for service. Section 8 was also often given to cross-dressers, homosexual, bisexual and transgender people.[1]
Section 8 became a household phrase when used in the 1970s TV series M*A*S*H, in which the character Corporal Klinger was continually seeking one (until he eventually abandoned his efforts).[5] His preferred method of doing so was cross-dressing.[6][7]

Sometimes Klinger enjoyed dressing-up ... there was ambiguity there.
And if you are so opinionated why did you ask the question? Silliness.
@wolfgang59 saidNo, I knew what it meant. I just found it so you could not deny it. You had denied he was dressing up as an act to get a mental disorder discharge. You cannot deny it now.
You're the only one who had to look up a Section 8 discharge on wikipedia.
@wolfgang59 saidYes you did, but now it is done.
I never denied it you idiot.
What is your problem?
Would a show be allowed today where a man wearing dresses is considered a mental disorder?
