Consent, Communication, & Boundaries
Ley David Elliette Cray, PhD (she/they) | Peer Support Group Facilitator
Boundaries are essential in social, sexual, professional, or medical situations. In this interactive webinar, we’ll discuss how identity intersects with our ability to communicate needs, establish boundaries, and practice conscious and reflective consent. Centering these tools can help keep us safer, encourage confidence, and aid us in building stronger connections. Join us as we tackle this topic with a trans-focused and neuroinclusive lens to become more confident in our connections.

November 2024
Fashion Outside the Binary
Rae Hill (they/them) | Origami Customs
As trans people, our self-image is formed by normative fashion culture and our shifting experiences with our unique bodies. Join Rai from Plume and Rae, CEO and Founder of the trans-centered fashion brand Origami Customs, for this explorative webinar. They’ll offer practical tips about building a wardrobe that feels affirming and authentic, accessing support when your sense of self isn’t so hot, and combining medical and non-medical transition options to suit your needs.
This webinar also offers a demo on taking your measurements and a collaborative takeaway project to explore your unique identity through fashion further.
Trans Love & Intimacy
Ley David Elliette Cray, PhD (she/they) | LGBTQ+ Educator, Plume Support Group Facilitator
Join us as we explore the complexities of intimacy for trans and gender-expansive people and how gender transition can transform our experiences of intimacy – in sexual, platonic, and romantic relationships. We’ll examine how transition may open up new pathways to connection, encouraging us to lean into intimacy in ways we never have before while addressing the barriers that transitioning can create. No matter what kind of relationships you seek, there’s something for everyone desiring connection.
Bodily Autonomy & Trans Issues
Alexander (he/ze) and Sam Mendum-Purdy (she/they) | Trans Formations Project
Bodily autonomy has been a significant issue in the 2024 election. Both gender-affirming care and reproductive rights are, in fact, two fights in the same battle. In this presentation, the Trans Formations Project will explore how these fights are interconnected. From the Dobbs decision to the 167 anti-trans bills passed nationwide, this hydra has many heads. Join us and learn the true scope of what is being done so we can create a future where our bodily autonomy is respected.
