* ButchLesbian: Katie is an example, with her hair in a mohawk and having pretty masculine clothing. However, she's actually short and slim, while not having a stereotypically masculine job (she's a barista). At one point she's mistaken for male, while Miranda even wonders if she's transgender (though this doesn't seem to be the case).

That isn't Trans Tribulations. I think it may fit into Ambiguous Gender Identity though.


* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Cyd mentions Katie was mistaken for male, and Miranda suggests maybe she is. Katie doesn't say this, but is fine being mistaken for male, and they're completely comfortable with the idea she's trans. It's possible that, like the actor, she's meant to be nonbinary.

* YouNeedToGetLaid: When Cyr learns it's been five years since Miranda got laid, she's comically aghast and tries to push a male friend of Miranda's into being with her. She even makes a rather snide remark about it later too, saying Miranda would probably eat less if she were getting some, but apologizes immediately after. Miranda tells her other things provide her fulfillment besides having sex, and it's dropped.

* EveryoneHasLotsOfSex: Cyd is a big believer in this. Apparently her sex life is quite active judging by how much she thinks of this (though we only see her with one person in the film). Thus she's flabbergasted when Miranda says the last time she had sex was five years ago. Cyd tries to set Miranda up with Miranda's friend and even mocks her slightly once for this, although she immediately apologizes.

Added DiffLines:

A 2017 film centering on Cyd, a free-spirited South Carolina teenager with tragedy in her past. She visits her aunt Miranda in Chicago over one summer. Miranda is a famous writer whose books have a spiritual bent. She and Cyd (who is irreligious) challenge each other, though in a friendly way. The tragic death of Cyd's mother years ago also casts a shadow over both of them into the present, and affects things between them. At the same time, Cyd starts up a relationship with a girl in the town named Katie. Over time, Cyd and Miranda's bond deepens as they begin to understand each other more, while Cyd's relationship with Katie also grows.
!Examples:
* BiTheWay: Cyd says she likes both men and women after getting asked what her sexuality is. It's unclear in the film if she had ever been attracted to a women before Katie, but she's entirely comfortable with it, as are everyone else.

* HasTwoMommies: Ridley, who is being raised by his mother and stepmother, her wife. He was born to his mother's previous marriage with his father.
* HollywoodAtheist: Somewhat {{discussed}} and ultimately subverted. Miranda teases Cyd a little by calling her "Ms. Atheist" and does appear to have mildly negative opinions on atheism/religious skepticism, but suggests this may be just coming to things from a different though compatible angle to religious perspectives. For her part, Cyd suffered a terrible tragedy in her past but this doesn't appear to be why she's an atheist-she just wasn't raised religious. In any case she's portrayed as nice and upbeat, aside from very mild rudeness.
* InsaneEqualsViolent: Cyd's brother had an unspecified mental illness. [[spoiler: He killed their mother and then himself following an intense argument.]]
* LadyLooksLikeADude: Katie, due to her short hair and masculine clothing, gets taken for a man at a distance. She rolls with it, providing an impromptu bit part in a film as a result.
* LipstickLesbian: Two female friends of Miranda are married, and have classically effeminate looks. Cyd is a lipstick bisexual for the same reasons.
* LongHairIsFeminine: Contrasting with Katie, who wears her hair short, Cyd's is quite long and thus they are mistaken for a male-female couple from a distance.
* MasculineFeminineGayCouple: Katie is a classic {{butch lesbian}}, with the effeminate Cyd (though she's bi).
* MissingMom: Cyd's mom was killed in the past. [[spoiler: It turns out that her brother was the killer.]]
* MurderSuicide: [[spoiler: Cyd's brother killed their mother and then himself.]]
* QueerRomance: Cyd's romance with Katie makes up a large part of the plot.
* StraightGay: A male friend of Miranda is an example. He looks and acts no different from most straight men.
* {{Transgender}}: {{Discussed}}. Cyd mentions Katie was mistaken for male, and Miranda suggests maybe she is. This doesn't seem to be the case, but they're completely comfortable with the idea.
