this book is difficult to write concrete content warnings for, but consent is a major theme and the book includes many scenes of violated and questionable consent (not just in reference to sex)belovedsnail's review against another edition

That being said, despite its discussion of gender, it maintains a very cis and straight perspective throughout, which effected my reading of the book. There is also a very complex relationship that edges into both abuse and pedophilia that I think was intended to be read as disturbing but I know could be interpreted differently. Heavy content warnings as well for: nonconsensual procedures, noncon relationships, rape, forced sterilization, and sensory deprivation torture.
