The main character leaves without saying goodbye but his friends are very happy for him and we're rooting for him to leave. It is not pictured as distressing at all.

There's discussion of SA which turns out to be a fake story. It's also treated as a joke.

There is a scene where the main character is gripped by the shirt as a threat for a few seconds and then was let go of. He wasn’t losing oxygen but it could be triggering.

No, but when Will is acting out to drive away therapists, he insists one of them is a closeted gay man even when the man denies it and is clearly upset by the claim. He doesn’t tell anyone else he thinks the therapist is gay.

Not exactly, but a cis man insults another cis man by suggesting he’s going to get a “sex change operation”.
