no jokes, however, a man does discuss having sex with a woman he didn't know was trans, misgendering her in the process

a deceased character's birth name is given alongside her real name, and is used by the pov character in her thoughts to distinguish the pre- and post-transition selves of the character.

a girl somewhere around her early teens goes out with old men. the pov character dates an old woman for a while. there's also a kiss between a 19 year old man and the pov character in her 30s late in the book, but the two have no romantic connection before or afterwards.
