@ted_duffield @pseudonymsupreme @bookstodon and wildseed is fantastic but then you want to read Patternmaster. All wonderful none regrettable.

Hey
Any recommendations for books with nonbinary or transmen main characters? Feeling like I could really use the representation, but all I'm finding are transwomen, and that's... not me. As long as it's fiction, any genre is okay.

@appassionato @bookstodon interesting: craving is an alternative translation for attachment (tanhā, the cause of discontent) in the Four Nobel Truths of Buddhism. Desire cannot be ended by believing and indulging them but by compassionate awareness of the emotions they embody. And meditation and trying to act/speak/work/concentrate in skillful accordance with goodness rather than petty ego games.
