    An heir to a fortune…a downward spiral… 
    Danny took me to his dorm to play a new video game. An enchanted village in the forest…a world populated with elven femboys. I didn’t like it, but I couldn’t look away. 
    Weird things started happening after that. We’re both changing. He’s becoming aggressive. I’m growing docile. 
    I’ve had to ask my dad for more money. I told him it’s for tutoring sessions…and that’s not a lie. Danny is teaching me so much. His lessons are precious. 
    He told me to do something terrible. Everyone’s watching. They’re shouting. They’re angry. 
    But it doesn’t matter. I’ll obey. I’ll do anything to please my tutor.

    In Rebent Sinner, Ivan Coyote takes on the patriarchy and the political, as well as the intimate and the personal in these beguiling and revealing stories of what it means to be trans and non-binary today, at a time in their life when they must carry the burden of heartbreaking history with them, while combatting those who would misgender them or deny their very existence. These stories span thirty years of tackling TERFs, legislators, and bathroom police, sure, but there is joy and pleasure and triumph to be found here too, as Ivan pays homage to personal heroes like Leslie Feinberg and Ferron while gently guiding younger trans folk to prove to themselves that there is a way out of the darkness.
    		 
    Rebent Sinner is the work of an accomplished artist whose plain truths about their experience will astound readers with their utter, breathtaking humanity.

    Gautama Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a spiritual teacher who lived in ancient India between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. He is the founder of Buddhism, one of the major religions of the world. Buddha was born into a royal family, but he renounced his luxurious lifestyle at the age of 29 to seek the truth about life and the nature of suffering. He spent six years as a wandering ascetic before attaining enlightenment at the age of 35. The Buddha's teachings, known as the Dharma, revolve around the Four Noble Truths, which explain the nature of suffering and the path to its cessation. The core message of Buddhism is that suffering arises from craving and attachment, and that liberation can be attained through the practice of the Eightfold Path, which includes meditation, mindfulness, ethical conduct, and wisdom. 
     
    The Buddha's teachings have had a profound impact on the spiritual and cultural history of Asia and beyond. His teachings spread rapidly throughout India and other parts of Asia, and they continue to inspire millions of people today. The Buddha's emphasis on non-violence, compassion, and the importance of the present moment has also resonated with many in the West. In addition to his spiritual teachings, the Buddha also provided practical guidance on social and ethical issues. He advocated for the abolition of caste distinctions, the treatment of animals with compassion, and the importance of community and social harmony. 
     
    Buddha's teachings continue to be relevant and inspiring today. His teachings on the nature of suffering, impermanence, and the importance of self-awareness are particularly relevant in today's fast-paced and materialistic world.
