As with countless other women, during the 2020-2021 Pandemic, I spent a great deal of time in my home office, all alone.I was so frightened that I had finally become a woman and then would die from Covid.
What a vengeful God.
I wore my masks, got the vaccines when they became obtainable and worried about my future.
I was also sick to death of the overt religious Christians who ran everything in Florida and who would just as soon murder me as try to comprehend my transition.
However, the final straw that caused my decision to move from Florida in the summer of 2021, was Laurie Lykins, my boss at Human Resources Inc, had accused me of having an affair with one of our male clients.
It was phony and absurd. I dislike men and detested being having been male early in my life and would never have an affair with one. And I did not.
But Laurie took her trumped up charge to the board of directors, announced that I was a transwoman, and in a 7 to 6 vote I was dismissed in May of 2021.
Frankly, I was ready to leave. The challenging work I was called upon to do was becoming more academic and difficult to write.
After commenting to my Facebook friends how I detested Florida, several people I trusted recommended Reno. After doing research on my laptop, I was influenced when I discovered that Reno had a beautiful river running through the downtown and lovely mountains all around the city.
Reno sounded good to me. So, I said goodbye to Florida forever.
