The trigger warnings at the front are entirely serious and you should take them seriously.
If you are "done with rape scenes" because they're cliched and exploitative, full of the male gaze and intended for titillation and the fridging of women, then no, there isn't a rape scene in that sense, and I suspect you might find what the books are doing with sex and gender interesting and thought provoking and in some ways irritating.
