Olivia bit her lip as she stood backstage. Her hands were shaking, palms were sweaty. She was wearing her diaper underneath a skirt-suit. She knew at the moment thousands of students from the university along with faculty were waiting for her. She turned to Jane who smiled. “You can do this, Olivia,” Jane said. “I have your back.”
Olivia nodded. She gulped as she stepped forward and the curtains were pulled back to reveal a podium with a microphone which Olivia stood on.
“Ladies and gentleman,” Olivia said. “Thank you all for coming. Today I want to talk about something… something that I’ve been trying to keep hidden since the start of this semester. My name is Olivia Clark. I’m an English professor here at RU. I’m just 30 years old and lately I’ve been needing to see the doctor. No, it’s not cancer. It’s not COVID either. No, I’ve been needing to see the doctor because… because I need diapers. At first you might be surprised and even laugh. But it’s something that I cannot control. And yet, Tamara Hyde, one of the school board administrators, would like to see me fired because of this medical condition. She believes I’m not mature enough for the position just because I need diapers. But I’m here to prove her wrong. So if she would be so kind… I would invite her up here to talk. And make her case as to why I should be fired.”
The crowd murmured and heard a click clack click clack as Tamara strutted down the walkway, clipboard in hand.
