Inaugural Singer to Trump: Meet Me and My Transgender Sister

Teenage opera star Jackie Evancho, who performed the National Anthem at President Donald Trump‘s inauguration, says his rollback of rules protecting transgender students hit a sour note with her family.

In a pair of tweets, Evancho said she was disappointed at the decision announced Wednesday – and wants Trump to meet with both her, and her transgender sister.

I am obviously disappointed in the @POTUS decision to send the #transgender bathroom issue to the states to decide. #sisterlove

Evancho's sister, Juliet Evancho, who was born Jacob and is transgender, told CBS last month Jackie's decision to perform – despite the criticism she faced for the decision – was an "honor."
