Two trans sex workers are forced to service cops under threat. This is literally the second scene of the movie.

You don't see any amputation, but you do see dismembered body parts. This is done posthumously, and never on screen.

Police are portrayed as corrupt at best and outright evil at worst. There are multiple acts of police brutality shown in the film. The film's main character is a police officer.

There is no body dysmorphia. One character talks about bloating if he eats the wrong thing. Another character lifts weights. We never, EVER hear a character speak negatively about their body.

The two trans characters experience transphobia. However, they are never played as a "man in a dress," nor as a joke.
