I believe the answer is:

distaste

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'repugnance' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'is stated in a way' is the wordplay.
'in a way' indicates an anagram.
'is'+'stated'='isstated'
'isstated' with letters rearranged gives 'DISTASTE'.

'that creates' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for distaste that I've seen before include "mild revulsion" , "Loathing" , "Feeling of dislike or aversion" , "Repugnance" , "Adverse reaction" .)
