* TransTribulations: Downplayed. In current time, Ricky is shown to be fully accepting of herself and faces no real prejudice in her hometown (only some from people at Francesca's engagement party who don't know her). Although a video seen throughout the movie reveals that she struggled with self-harm when she was younger and blamed her transition for her parents' divorce, the video is eventually revealed to be a confessional meant to help her move past her early trauma.

The film is notable for its lighthearted, sensitive handling of its subject material; many TransgenderTropes are deconstructed, subverted, or averted, and it never becomes an AuthorTract. Ricky (whose actor is a trans woman in RealLife) is not used as a punchline, and is portrayed as desirable and independent; the relationship issues surrounding her are not based on GayPanic (mostly), and characters tend to talk their way through them. It also received praise from critics from being unabashedly sex positive without becoming pure {{Fanservice}}.

*UnsettlingGenderReveal: Ricky has zero qualms with being born male, and as such seems to get a kick out of using this trope. She gleefully teases two older women at a fancy engagement party by revealing she used to be a boy, shocking them quiet; a flashback shows her responding to a guy flashing people at Halloween by flashing her own penis at him.
