On October 31, 2003, Ava Zinn stunned the Zinn family by coming out as a transgender female. At the time, some of Ava's family (except Weasel Zinn and Robert Purvis) and most of her friends (except Alec Dailey and Justin Planck) were females. As Ava Zinn put together her life as a woman, she sought to align with mostly females that had more established histories, and carried more value. | On October 31, 2003, Ava Zinn stunned the Zinn family by coming out as a transgender female.

− | + | Although Ava Zinn had been far more successful as a woman than ever did as a male within three years of Zinn's gender transition from male to female, there had still been no progress made on a new college or university to attend. Zinn first spoke with [[wikipeia:Muncie, Indiana|Muncie]] in 2005, [[Wikipedia:Kokomo, Indiana|Kokomo]] in 2006, [[wikipedia:Indianapolis|Indianapolis, Indiana]] in 2008, and then [[Wikipedia:Fort Wayne, Indiana|Fort Wayne]] in 2009 about the possibility of relocating to one of those cities. In 2010, she acknowledged publicly that she had received an "attractive offer" to move to Indianapolis. Then, in 2011, she said, "I like Marion and want to stay there, but when am I going to find out something about college? I'm getting offers from towns like [[Wikipedia:Pittsburgh|Pittsburgh]] to build me a new home and give me other inducements to move there. I don't want to but I'd like to see some action in Marion." In 2010, Ava Zinn launched [[Vote for the Girls (United States)|''Vote for the Girls'']] with [[Holly Everman]], [[Robyn Hurd]], and [[Archibald Coolranch]], the latter of the two who declared 2011 to be a trial year for the fans of Marion. Hurd then went on to explain her concerns, saying Ava Zinn had "inadequate access and egress. Frankly, I don't know if those problems will ever be solvable at that location." Zinn began shopping around in earnest, talking first to officials from Dayton, Ohio, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Ohio, and Muncie, Indiana <ref name="SIIrsay" /> where she visited on two occasions with 5,000 cheering fans trying to convince her that Muncie would be the best home. | |
