Novelist: Xu Xi

Chinese-American novelist Xu Xi has a new book of short stories out and one of these stories were written about the life and hardtimes of a hermaphrodite. According to the ChinaDaily website, "In the story Lady Day, the protagonist's apparently aberrant sexuality is a "deformity" that sets off a chain of personal disasters - being disowned by family and abused by bullies in a British public school - but is turned into a weapon, a source of power, later in life. As a posh hermaphrodite prostitute who services business tycoons and Saudi princes in her plush apartment not too far away from Wall Street in New York, Lady Day lives life on her own terms, even as her high-profile clients take a tumble after a journalist runs an expose. She even gets her revenge on the high school bullies".

    Wealthy men will pay top dollar to screw a born that's 50% male and 50% female. But why are all of these hermaphrodites turning into sex slaves?

  2. Um...A "posh" (luxury, highly paid) Prostitute is NOT in most cases a "sex slave". They choose that lifestyle. Why? Because they can, and because they are paid top-dollar. Well played!

    Hermaphrodites hold grudges and they're bitter and dangerous!
