If you count Jekyll ingesting the potion, which he notes causes him excruciating pain at least once.

It's theorized at one point that Hyde is Jekyll's illegitimate child, but otherwise, no one has sex and there are no further implications.

No, but at least two people are murdered. It's not described in graphic detail.

In older versions, the word "f*ggot" is used in its archaic meaning, ie. a bundle of sticks, but it's also a metaphor referring to two men. The word "queer" is used, also, but YMMV on that one.

No; unlike some of the adaptations based on the book, Jekyll drinks the solution instead of injecting it.

The story was written in 1886 and is set in Victorian London; expect lots of talk of 'madness'. This story is also often argued to be the origin of the 'split personality' and/or 'violent alter' trope, which many real people with dissociative identity disorder have spoken against, although it is explicitly stated in this book that Hyde is not a separate person from Jekyll and is merely an alias.

Not unless you interpret Jekyll as queer, which some scholars do.

Not unless you count Jekyll getting 'stuck' as Hyde, which causes him noticeable distress, but it's implied that this upsets Jekyll for other reasons.

None of the characters are ever described as one race or another; it's often presumed they're all white.

Depends on if you count the chemical solution that allows Jekyll to turn into Hyde.

No; unlike most adaptations based on this book, it's outright stated that Hyde is not a separate person, but merely Jekyll's alias. However, Jekyll gets 'stuck' as Hyde in a way that, if possession is a trigger for you, might set you off.

No, unlike several adaptations of the book, Hyde does not sexually assault anyone.

Tricky; some interpret this story as an allegory for addiction and there are some obvious parallels. Tread lightly.

Some fans ship Jekyll and Hyde, but seeing as in this story, they're the same person, they don't count. Your mileage may vary for the adaptations, though.

A small child is trampled in the beginning of the story. She doesn't die but she's frightened and hurt.

Jekyll kills himself at the end of the book. This is really no longer even a spoiler; it's in every adaptation and the book has been published for over a century.

The way Jekyll describes his first transformation can come off as him having a panic attack, or at the very least sounds similar.
