* AmbiguouslyBi: It’s never confirmed if Dom was completely straight, or just keeping his liking-boys half in the closet. All we know is that when a practically catatonic Sam asked if she “looked pretty”, Dom tearfully wiped off the lipstick and kissed Sam passionately and remorsefully before he did her MercyKill.

Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Sam is treated as a very tomboyish girl and doesn't resist female pronouns, but feels very strongly about wanting to wear boys' clothes, being allowed to follow her masculine interests and not being called "Samantha". Dom seems to think of Sam as a boy, as following a kiss, he yells at her, asking "do you think I'm gay?" It's never fully revealed ''how'' exactly Sam felt about herself, possibly because being trans wasn't a concept widely-known or talked-about at the time.
