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.'

Those are more of the valid questions that need to be asked and answered.
Before it was altered, it needed to use the bathroom that matched its parts. Now that it has been altered, it needs to use the bathroom that matches it parts. Usually, the courts provide an altered birth certificate to match the alterations.
This infuriates me. Trump, don’t do it!!!
Hey JACKIE....SHUT UP AND SING!!!! Your Brother/Sister is a FREAK! Probably wanting some ATTENTION!!! Love them, and then have them live their lives NOT IN THE SPOTLIGHT!!!
This is my strong suspicion. Suddenly, he needs to have the parents fuss and fret over him too, all because of his ‘condition’. If or when Jackie grows up and leaves the family home, I wonder how much longer her ‘sister’ will continue down this path. Of course, if Jacob has had enough hormonal treatments, some changes may be irreversible without surgery, and even more hormone and psychiactric treatments to reverse the prior reversals.
EXACTLY!!! CRAVING ATTENTION!!!
You are right. Trump should tell them to contact their state representatives. If they don’t get the law changed in their home state they can move to California or New York.
GROSS PICTURE!!!!!!
Unfortunately this isn’t satire. I live in Pittsburgh and this sicko has been on our local news crying and boo hooing about getting made fun of at school. Um, you’re a freak and other kids are right to call you out on it.
Basically this ONE kid wants the entire Pine-Richland school district in suburban Pittsburgh to accommodate his delusion. Period. That’s all it is.
This isn’t about bathroom protection. This is about a mentally ill individual that requires the world to accommodate their illness.
Use the teachers lounge and be done with it. Hey Jackie, how many trannies are running around that school anyway?
Laz would hit it
Telling him "That's OK ... you can be a girl and get your parts chopped off and have plastic boobs installed" won't fix things either. Still, the real problem isn't the kid (who mainly is just a nut); the real problem is the supposed adults who pander to his sick delusions and perverted fantasies.
At this point, the kid can’t just be ignored.
No matter where he goes now, people will know.
Something has to be done, and I think providing a restroom near the administration offices would be a good resolution to the matter.
Let the gender benders co-mingle there.
So who’s going going to be there to represent the millions of young girls who will be forced to undress and shower with some dude or dudes who use the rule to claim they are female arrghh it’s just sick.
I’d hit it.
Sister Juliet= Brother Jacob.
Gender confirmation surgery= Genital mutilation surgery.
No meetings.
This kid should withdraw from public school and just do the internet schooling thing. There’s no way a kid can change genders in high school and think everyone is going to be okay with it. Kids are vicious at the best of time in high school.
Hmmm. Born male, male height, male equipment, needs ops to become “female” = mental problem.
