| 7 | !! ''How Loathsome'' contains examples of the following tropes: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | %%* {{Bifauxnen}}: Main character Catherine. |
| 10 | * ButNotTooBi: Catherine is primarily interested in women but doesn't turn down a threesome with a male / female couple. |
| 11 | * DragQueen: Chloe performs as a drag queen. Several other drag kings and queens appear. |
| 12 | * GoingColdTurkey: Catherine and Alex try to kick heroin. [[spoiler: They don't succeed.]] |
| 13 | * {{Goth}}: One of the stories takes place at a goth club. Several characters fall into this category. |
| 14 | * IncompatibleOrientation: Nick is initially uninterested in Chloe because of her being transgender, [[spoiler: but he changes his mind]]. [[spoiler: Chloe]] turns down [[spoiler: Catherine]] eventually because she's "just not a lesbian." |
| 15 | * VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: Performance artist and writer Danielle Willis was able to tell immediately that Catherine is based on her. She was not offended and wrote the introduction to the hardcover. |
