View resources for our Plume Community Corner Event: Sexuality Through Transition featuring our guest Dr. Ley Cray (She/they). She is the LGBTQIA+ Curriculum Coordinator for the Sexual Health Alliance and the founder of Transentience Coaching, and offers trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness for queer and trans populations.
The process of embracing our gender identity can often impact our sexual identity, as well—physically, psychologically, and existentially. Topics to be covered will include: Exploring the concept of sexual identity, discussing how to approach and work through internalized sexual shame, and preparing ourselves to reflectively and intentionally move forward into a state of affirmed acceptance of our full selves.
Transentience Coaching offers an adaptable, affirming amalgamation of philosophical exploration, neuro-inclusive mindfulness, and contemplative embodiment to aid persons struggling with existential issues related to gender, sexuality, relationships, identity, and authenticity.

Dr. Diamond is known for her research on sexual fluidity, which describes the capacity for individuals to experience shifts in their pattern of same-sex and other-sex attractions over time.
