Goodbye, STG, you will not be missed
It's official. I've closed on my home, which was the veyr last thing tying me to this cursed city. I lived in stg for seven years and, I won't lie, they were some of the best years of my life. But the positivity I those years had absolutely NOTHING to do with st george itself. Now you may be about to ask "why even post here?" Well, because 1) pepole move to stg every day and they deserve to know what awaits them and 2) because there are thousands of people in this town who live here and are unable to leave and feel isolated and alone. Know that you are not alone. Here's a short list of things that I experienced during my time in stg:
-I was told that I could not receive a prescription for my anxiety disorder unless I passed a drug test. Mind you, this prescription had already been written out to me and I had years of records showing that I do not abuse my medication.
-I had someone call the provost of my institution claiming that Iwas a devil worshiper teaching devil worship in my classrooms because somebody saw me on a twitch stream wearing a jersey that had "666" on the back
-I was called into my deans' offise multiple times because my tiktoks were "too politically charged." Mind you, I never once mentioned my university or any of my students/co-workers one single time on social media.
-I had multiple random men threaten my dog with harm (including one who wanted to shoot him in the face with a gun, his words) simply because he is a pitbull
-Speaking of dogs, my smaller dog was viciously attacked after two dogs, who had been left to roam the backyard unsupervised while the owner was on vacation in florida, broke down their fence to attack him while we were on a walk. The way you people treat your animals is offensive and you should be sued for it, quite frankly.
-Technically this was colorado city but I think we all know why I'm mentioning this. I had a cop follow me for 4 miles through the gorge at 1am and then stop me, steal my license plate (yes, he unscrewed it from my car and took it with him) before threatening to remove me from my vehicle if I did not sign the ticket and admit to guilt. Btw I took him to court and forced him to admit under oath that I did nothing wrong.
-During my first semester I was stalked by a female student who would not stop trying to sleep with me. When I confronted her about it she said she didnt know anything was wrong because of "all my other professors who wre fine with having sex with me." Disgusting.
-Was harrassed multiple times by city council members on facebook (specifically, Michelle Tanner) with weird anti-lgbtq tirades. I'm not gay or trans, but she was just weird as hell about it (she cost the city $800k and lost multiepl national court cases btw).
The list goes on, but those are just some of my favs. Now, if you're reading this and you're nodding along you can just stop right here. You get it. I'm sorry for whatever thether it is that binds you to this city. If, however, you read these and rolled your eyes, became upset, or felt attacked, this next part is for you. You are the problem. You are the reason groceries are so expensive. You are the reason why are beautiful trans friends take their own lives. You are the reason why jeff epstein's literal best friend of 20 years is president. You people need to have your mouths washed out with soap. I'm not going to make any comments about the religious climate in the city, but we all know what goes on. The audacity to claim that you care about "protecting children" while gleefully handing yours off to monsters. I'd say do better, but after seven years in stg, I'm convinced you're incapable. I hope the mods leave this post up. I've not attacked anyone. I've not degraded anyone's identity or religion, per se. I've simply articulated a series of facts about the city of st george. If you think that's something worth taking down because it isn't "civil or kind," then I recommend you take a good hard look in the mirror that I just held up. End rant.
