Early life

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

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]
