Jackie Evancho made a public plea to President Trump asking him to rethink his decision to lift bathroom protections for transgender students
'I guess I just want to enlighten him on what my sister, what I’ve seen her go through every single day in school and people just like her,' said Jackie
Jackie's sister Juliet, 18, then spoke about what she faces every day at school since she came out as transgender two years ago
'I’ve had things thrown at me. I’ve had people say pretty horrible things and the unsafe environment is just very unhealthy,' said Juliet
On Thursday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said that President Trump would be willing to meet with Juliet and Jackie
Juliet, who goes to school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, recently underwent gender confirmation surgery back in January
The 16-year-old singer appeared on Good Morning America Thursday morning, and said that she wants to have a meeting with President Trump so she can 'enlighten' him on the discrimination people like her sister Juliet deal with on a daily basis.
Juliet also appeared on the segment and spoke firsthand about her experiences in school, and the importance of protections for transgender students.
She spoke about how she has 'had things thrown at [her]' and been called 'horrible things' by fellow students ever since she came out as transgender.
'Donald Trump needs to know that being in such an unsafe environment won't do any good,' explained Juliet, who was named Jacob at birth.
'Not only for the transgender and LGBT community, but everyone as a whole.'

Huh?
They must have an army of lexicographers cooking up a vocabulary to match their madness.
She is actually a boy, Jim.
Oh yuck. This stupid kid probably was jealous of all the attention his sister was getting and resorted to insanity.
Keep it just for you and tell normal people to get stuffed . If you’re always using public bathrooms everywhere you go maybe you should go see a Dr
Sister Juliet= Brother Jacob.
Gender confirmation surgery= Genital mutilation surgery.
Has the world gone stark raving mad? An 18 year old boy thinks he is a girl , and then gets to the President.!!!
Surely this is satire.
I believe the strategy is to simply wear sane people down.
Orwell never sleeps, it seems.
(Yes, I know...but it fits here too)
Exactly.
I will gladly pretend to be a crossdresser for a day if I could get a private meeting with President Trump. But I won’t have anything cut off in order to do it.
Carry your own portable toilet with you Jacob. I don’t want you in the ladies’ room.
I don’t think this kid should be ridiculed in school, but lets face it. Every kid is ridiculed in school.
I’m sure the kid gets more than his share. Perhaps the parents should find him a safe-space in another environment.
Kids don’t buy this B.S. Many adults don’t.
I don’t want him ridiculed because I don’t like seeing people made miserable. That is not to say I back what he is doing.
As for going to the restroom in the girl’s restroom, NO!
Women and girls have a right to privacy. They should not have to look over their shoulder to see if there is a man or a boy in the room with them.
You can make adjustments knowing only girls are around, that you can’t with a boy or man there.
This isn’t rocket science.
Thank heaven Trump was elected.
effing sick. Put these freaks in strait jackets
have no clue what percentage trasgeners are in USA.. guessing under 1/2%.. and so everyone else must SUFFER - yes that is the correct word - the consequences.
I know DJT will listen and he will have very smart minds with him at the interview.
to me this little miss Juliet is jealous of the attention her sister is getting and needs to say.. Hey, look at me! Im a victim
Barf
More stupid people that do not understand how it works.
President Trump’s administration has now stated that the Federal Government has no opinion on which bathroom you use.
This is now up to the States to determine, according to the Citizens of that state.
If these people understood that, then they would be praising Trump and going back to the STATE level.
Just like it should be as all things not expressly designated to the Feds, belongs to the state. So says that Constitution.
