someone is shot with a rubber bullet just above the eye and goes down immediately. He needs reconstructive surgery, but is fine eventually, and he doesn’t lose his sight.

One of the main character has some extremely fatphobic opinions, and she’s not alone. Fat bodies are vilified and treated as disgusting throughout the book (though this is mostly done by the characters. the narrative doesn’t really seem to condone this behavior, and it has serious consequences at the end. It was still really uncomfortable to me)

There’s a rumor about a woman who might have used to be a man. This is brief, and I got the impression this wasn’t considered much of a big deal by the characters around her:

A kid around 19-25 is assaulted at a gas station. The attacker is visibly aroused by his own violence, and causes severe damage to the kid’s genitals which will take several procedures to repair with unknown results.
