Ine knew Lukas before he transitioned and calls him by his deadname (deadname - the name a transgender person uses/used before coming out) throughout the movie and seems to have a problem with his transition. Lukas's mom calls him by his deadname and his sister calls him her sister and by his deadname, and eventually outs (out - to tell someone, usually against the person's will, about someone else's gender and/or sexuality) him against his will to the guy he likes and the girls in his dorm

there is some anti-trans language used, along with ignorant comments related to the subject, and the trans male protagonist is called a "tr*nny" (please don't use this, it's roughly equivalent to f*g/f*ggot but for a transgender woman/transfeminine person, despite being commonly used against trans men/transmasculine people)
