Kitty Stryker (born 1984) is an American activist and sex educator known for promotion of consent in queer relationships.
Early life
[edit]Stryker grew up in Massachusetts, moving to California at the age of 19.[1] Stryker viewed this as a "fresh start" from her upbringing, adopting the new name of 'Kitty Stryker' and eventually becoming a pro-domme in San Francisco.[1]
Career
[edit]Stryker's workshops address the need for consent in the queer and kink communities.[2][3][4][5] She is the author of an anthology and the author of two books on consent.[6] Her third book was Say More: Consent Conversations for Teens (Thornapple Press, 2024).[7]
According to The Telegraph of London, Stryker operated the Ladies High Tea and Pornography Society, a women's space for drinking tea and watching porn.[8]
Stryker was the head of production for Ban This Sick Filth (2015), a film containing every item on a recently issued list of sexual acts that would not be permitted in pornographic films in the United Kingdom.[9] The film was subsequently banned by PornHub.[10]
She has also worked to bring the left-wing activist and Juggalo communities together by co-founding a group called the "Struggalo Circus".[11][12][13]
