From the Cyrsti's Condo Library

Who is Renee James?  Renee James is the pen name of a Chicago-area writer who lives in two genders. - and has written a book called "Coming Out Can Be Murder"

"Renee's book is the by-product of a fictional journal James wrote on business trips during her magazine editing years. The journal was a reflection on what her life might have been like if she had chosen to become a transsexual woman rather than marry and raise a family as a bi-gendered male. -"

Her effort has been highly praised and you can follow the link above for more information including purchasing.

The Writing is on the Wall- in the UK

In response to my Cyrsti's Condo "Quote of the Day" post which touched on graffiti in men and woman's restrooms, Paula Gee came up with a few "classics" from the UK:



" I am something of a fan of graffiti , our UK version of the "Jesus saves" one is "and St John scores of the rebound" Ian St John being the Liverpool striker of the day, I have fond recollections of "My Mother made me Homosexual" then added later "If I gave her the wool would she make me one as well" and of course the classic during the Irish "troubles" "Free the Heinz 57" My all time favourite involved the old roller towel manufacture Advance who used to make a product called Towelmaster, so the graffiti read ADVANCE TOWEL MASTER "and be recognized""

Love it! Thanks Paula!
