Maureen,
I too have a distaste for my home state of Tennessee. Nashville is a very progressive city {has a liberal female mayor} but most of the rest of the state is loonie tunes conservative. Florida is a lot of the same but is turning the corner {hopefully}. The beautiful weather and the relaxed attitude has made my move worth coming to Florida.

As for your ex-by mentioning Tennessee and associations with both Tennessee and Pennsylvania, it is common for dreams to use those ties as metaphor. They would represent your inner emotions when it comes to the relationships. The dream references the states because of the associations with him.

As for the masculine/feminine aspects of the dream. Likely there are experiences/influences from early life that play into the equation. What type person and relationship did you have with your father? Your personality and personal attitudes would be built around early life experiences and influences and those would carry over into adulthood. Are there differences or similarities between your father and your ex? The relationship between your parents could be a part of the equation. Although the dream seems to be primarily addressing the past relationship with your ex it is also addressing the underlying emotions and foundations to your personality and attitudes. All dreams do this to some degree. If you want to know who you are and why you are that person look to childhood {and any traumatic or later life altering experiences}. Go deeper and you will discover much about yourself you were not aware of.
