Depending on your in game choices, Vincent can end up in a permanent relationship with Catherine, whose entire purpose in their previous relationship was to gaslight him and have sex with him while he was blackout drunk and unable to give proper consent.

Catherine isn’t real and only exists to gaslight Vincent by lying about what he does during his memory loss from drinking to destroy his relationship with Katherine. Upon finding out she doesn’t actually exist, Vincent begins to question his sanity and starts having a breakdown, which causes his friends to also start to question his sanity.

Technically no. People appear as sheep in the dreams, several of which die, but they are actually human and are only seen by Vincent as sheep.

It's heavily implied that Catherine is sleeping with Vincent when he is blackout drunk, despite (sober) him repeatedly requesting her to stay away from him. In addition, patrons of the Stray Sheep discuss their own experiences with sexual assault.

Numerous people/sheep fall to their death while climbing in the dreams, causing them to die in real life. A few of the corpses can be seen with their face stuck in the screaming position. The game over screen for falling off shows Vincent splattering onto the floor.

Think the other commenter might've gotten transphobia mixed up with trypophobia. From memory, there are no clusters of holes (besides maybe the top of blocks concealing spikes).

Transgender woman Erica does not disclose she is trans to her partner, even after having sex with him. He is uncomfortable when this is revealed (stating that he wants his "V-Card back"), which she laughs off.

Sort of. While a transgender woman is typically addressed as female, characters routinely make comments that imply she is not a "real" woman. She is also implied to be having the same nightmares that are otherwise only experienced by men, and is outright misgendered in certain versions of the credits and artbook.

In Catherine: Full Body, Vincent can be interpreted as bi or pansexual due to one of the routes he can take. Entirely avoidable, but he can die if the player fails in the climbing games.

It’s possible if you save everyone but the black guy, but you have to go out of your way to do this on your own. Otherwise, he won’t.
