Trump singer Evancho 'disappointed' by transgender policy
One day after reaching out to Donald Trump via Twitter with a plea to discuss transgender rights, singer Jackie Evancho hit the airwaves to make another pass at getting the president’s attention.
On Wednesday, after the president rolled back federal government protections that allowed transgender students to use the bathroom associated with their gender identity, Jackie tweeted to Trump in an attempt to set up a meeting.
Juliet, 18, participated in the Thursday interview as well and explained why she felt the decision made by Trump’s administration was harmful. “Basically that being at a high school where the policies on the bathroom are unclear, I — as Jackie has said — kind of live it every day, going through discrimination. I’ve had things thrown at me, I’ve had people say pretty horrible things. The unsafe environment is just very unhealthy. I feel like Donald Trump needs to know that being in such an unsafe environment won’t do any good for the transgender and LGBT community but as well as everyone as a whole.” (Juliet said her school, to this point, has been protective of her: “Overall, yes.”)
