- A man repeatedly misgenders his trans daughter and says she should be “ashamed” to be seen dressed like a “tranny”, and in another scene a cop refers to her as a “cross-dressing fag”. There is also a verbal reference to a young man’s father having attempted to strangle him after catching him with a boyfriend. The film does not condone discrimination. There are infrequent references to a young woman’s history of panic attacks and self-harm. There are infrequent scenes of violence, including a flashback scene in which a group of bullies chase down and then repeatedly kick another child. We see a woman pole-dancing, without nudity, at what is discreetly implied to be a brothel. Other issues include brief natural nudity.
