My name is Jenna Fischetti. I was born and raised in Laurel, Maryland District 21 and I currently live in District 13.
For the last 5 years I had been involved with a program of the Gay and Lesbian, Community Center in Baltimore, affectionately know as The GLCCB. Through this work of facilitating the largest peer based transgender group in the State of Maryland I have been blessed to meet and befriend many members of Maryland's transgender and transsexual community. This has been the greatest honor of my life, short of seeing my three children mature into responsible adults.
I am present today to let my voice be heard and recorded even though there has been great effort to silence the voices of Marylanders who feel as I do.
