EVENT VIDEO: Beyond Binaries – Dating & Connection

event about dating as a transgender person

Dating while embracing a nonbinary identity can be a unique and transformative experience, often requiring open and honest communication from the start. When entering a relationship, it’s important to create space for both you and your partner to unlearn outdated ideas and relearn together, cultivating an environment of growth and understanding.

In this insightful and uplifting conversation, our guest, Coriama, shares personal stories and expert advice on dating, relationships, and connection as a nonbinary person. The discussion covers essential topics such as consent, communication, and setting healthy boundaries—core elements for fostering meaningful connections. Additionally, Coriama delves into shadow work, an introspective process of examining our own hidden emotions and fears, which can greatly influence how we show up in relationships.

By sharing their experiences, Coriama offers a compassionate and empowering perspective on navigating the dating world as a nonbinary individual. The conversation not only emphasizes the importance of building supportive and affirming relationships but also highlights the ongoing journey of self-discovery and growth that accompanies dating. Whether you’re new to dating or looking to deepen your existing relationships, Coriama’s insights provide valuable guidance for making these connections meaningful and fulfilling.
