No slurs but the trans character (a child) is derogatorily referred to as a “girl-boy” by a cop. The child is not present.

The mother is verbally and emotionally abusive as well as physically abusive on one occasion. SPOILERS: at a certain point she just stops being those things and everything is “fine”. The kid doesn’t seem to have any problem.

Joe’s mother invalidates Joe’s gender identity and tries to convince him not to be himself in terms of gender. She throws away all his pants and makes him wear skirts and dresses.
In one scene, Joe takes some scissors, locks the bathroom door, cuts his hair and when he comes out he tells his mother he hates her. She then slaps him across the face.

Some people almost drown in a river and gasp accordingly. Actually not as intense or dramatic as that sounds.

Joe has dysphoria, not dysmorphia, but his discussion of it could feel similar to someone that experiences dysmorphia.
