In 2017 they released their inaugural poetry chapbook FEMME IN PUBLIC.

They will be presenting their Femme in Public performance, see the description below:

 What feminine part of yourself did you have to destroy in order to survive in this world? At what point does femininity become synonymous with apology? Who hurt the people who hurt you? Alok Vaid-Menon is trying to figure it out. Join them for an evening of poetry, stand-up comedy, drag, and more as they take their audience on an emotional roller coaster all the way from the personal to the political.
