In the meantime, I have dipped my toes back into the writing world by writing a piece for Homeschoolers Anonymous.

		<description><![CDATA[A guest post from Haley&#8230; I’ve lived with society perceiving me in different ways over my lifetime. At one time I was perceived to be a straight white cisgender male (now obviously I was really a closeted transgender woman but the world didn&#8217;t know that.) In the year before I gender transitioned, I pushed gender [...]]]></description>
