Repression Queen is the vulnerable and poetic exploration of the author's life as a gender transformation erotica writer, weaving short horror stories about sex and gender into the fabric of a life lived divided in two. Through vignettes on experiences with family alcoholism and substance abuse, toxic masculinity, and the pressure of needing to keep it all together, the author seeks to understand why they just can't get Kayla out of their head.
