Three years. Three years have passed since I came to terms with the fact that my gender identity felt off. That I had been holding myself back. And that the gender transformation erotica I had been writing for six years was most likely the cause of it. And now the book that chronicles the time before is available on February 1st.
Repression Queen: A Memoir About Gender Transformation Erotica
Amazon: (Paperback $16) | Barnes & Noble: (Paperback $16, ebook $3.99) | Releases February 1
This is a special book. According to early readers:
"I cried."
"This book defies genres."
"It includes force-femmeing. It includes sex."
"Fantastic."
Repression Queen is a love letter to my experiences as a writer of "TG" fiction, or gender transformation erotica. It details the life of a person navigating the complexity of relationships with troubled parents, college loves, and entering a marriage with a terrible secret. It also incorporates a sampling of short and smutty tales of gender transformation that I had actually written during my deepest periods of self-repression. It is raw, and vulnerable, and poetic, and angry, and real.
I am beyond thrilled that it exists. I am terrified that it exists.
I have to thank all of my friends who lent a patient ear as I promised them year after year that this book was on the horizon. Thank you to my friends who let me read sections to them out loud. Thank you to my TG community, who encouraged me not only to write decadent tales of erotic gender-bendy mishaps, but also to keep writing for the love of writing itself.
This book is for anyone who has ever longed.
With great love,
Harper

TG erotica is a taboo topic that is hard to talk about... even to professionals as the novel alludes to. It's a topic that pushes people to seedier corners of queer internet forums to discuss, and discussion there runs rampant with unchecked self-loathing and pseudoscience. It's extremely isolating - yet exists as a tenuous connection to a repressed identity fighting for air. The book charts the course of a nail scraping against a blackboard with increasingly deafening volume as "Kayla" demands more and more of the…
