the act is not shown but it's heavily implied and you can see the perpetrator chasing and pinning down the victim before it happens

Xiaolou hits Juxian during an argument. Juxian hits him when he arrives home from a meeting. They also often argue or verbally abuse each other.

There are probably several moments but the one that stands out to me is when the CCP comes to power and they detain the three mains

Around 35 minutes in a very uncomfortable scene happens where a young boy is sexually assaulted by an older man. It’s quick and then cuts to another scene, but the build up is extremely uncomfortable.
There’s a scene where a woman in a whore house is being harassed by a group of men, but they are stopped by a main character.
In a scene a man is kissed dubiously and the man who does it is overall creepy
At several other times it’s implied that SA happens or is going to happen, but is stopped.

Not shown but very much implied, a boy is castrated so that he can continue to play the female role as he gets older

An infant is left to freeze to death outside, and is technically abducted by young boys in the troupe. This saves the baby though.

Yes. Juxian is struck in the stomach during a fight between the CCP and the lead opera performers while she is heavily pregnant. She miscarries and loses the baby almost immediately.

Though not in the typical fashion, Cheng Dieyi is misgendered as a cis man by being forced to call himself a girl at the threat of violence.
