It’s minor at the end Norman sees a fly on his hand and says, “I'm not even going to swat that fly… Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly...

Implied child abuse in the past, also Norman’s “mother” berates him through out the film.

Not explicitly, no, but one of the main characters has a tough and traumatic relationship with a parent.

Yes, the main antagonist off screen is verbally abused by his "mother" and, though not explicitly, acts out against other people because of it.

No eye mutilation at all, there is a corpse that doesn’t have eyes but it is not graphic by any means, it really just looks like a skull with a wig.

Someone is slashed and they fall backwards down stairs. It is unclear which killed them.

It does, and a very well known one, in fact! The Icon for Is there a shower scene" on this site is ripped right from this movie.

The killer has DID and kills people in their woman (and thus debatably trans) identity.

There is the discussion of institutionalizing a mentally ill person.

This is textbook demonization of mentally ill people in film.

Yes, as the main antagonist dresses in his mothers clothing and acts like her. I don't know if this counts fully as body dysphoria.

One could see Norman has having gender dysphoria.

Never shown on screen, but someone tells a story of someone who commits suicide very briefly. No flashbacks.

There's a scene where Marion is eating and Norman compliments her on the fact that she is eating like a bird. I'm not sure if this would trigger someone?

It depends on if you find showers claustrophobic.

Not flashing per se. Nothing to the extent of quick rapid flashing however there are some night driving scenes where the car lights are very bright and move quickly as they pan from the road to the character in the car. Especially in a scene driving at night.

At the end, when Norman stares at the camera. He then started to turn into his mother with scary eyes and a faint image of a skull.

Not “jokes” but this is on the most infamous examples of the killer cross-dresser trope (that might warrant its own category in the future though)

not hate speech per se, but old, outdated terms for mentally ill and transgender people that have negative connotations today.

The very name of the film is ableist (although it might not have been problematic at the time) and some of the psychology discussed at the end would probably be considered ableist today.

No homophobia, but slight transphobia with the use of the outdated term "transvestite".

A character is incorrectly referred to as a “transvestite” for a brief moment

The film opens with people who are in their underwear kissing. We also see someone take a shower, but we do not see any genitalia. Some side boob is the most we see.

No, there are no incestuous relationships implied or otherwise in the film. The main antagonist has a strange relationship with his mother but it is not incestuous.
[SPOILERS]
The main antagonist plays his own mother (mentally ill) therefore there is no actual family to be incestuous.

Yes. In a scene while attempting to get a room at the Bates Motel she honks on her horn a couple times to get the attention of the owner in a house up the way.

No but a car is pushed into a lake, and at the end of the film we see the car being towed out covered in mud which could be triggering imagery for someone who is bothered by car crashes.

A naked woman is stabbed to death in a shower; no gore, but blood visibly goes down the drain. In the uncut version you see the killer with bloody hands before he cleans them off. A man is slashed across the face.
