Update: Jenna Fischetti provided the text of her statement at the hearing. What I heard second hand about her testimony wasn't true -- she didn't mention the false assertion in her testimony.

I'm waiting to hear back from her regarding the Metro Weekly quote -- whether or not she was quoted accurately in the story. If she didn't make the statement she's quoted as making, I'll retract this story in entirety.

There was something that troubled me a great deal in reading the piece that I feel needs addressing immediately -- it's a false statement about passage of transgender specific antidiscrimination laws in other states than Maryland.

Autumn seems to be in self-destruction mode a lot lately.
