There doesn’t seem to be so much as a plot as an overall vibe. The characters grapple with sexuality and what it means to be a woman/man. I hated Reese though. She knew she was toxic but didn’t seem to care that she was, which made her lash out and hurt those around her for no other reason that it soothed her. She brings up a lot of valid points in how trans women are treated and how she deserves to be a mother but her treatment of both Ames and Katrina was just horrific.
