Inaugural singer asks to meet with Trump on rights of transgendered

Teenage classical singer Jackie Evancho, one of the performers enlisted for President Donald Trump’s inaugural festivities, took to Twitter Wednesday to express dismay with the administration’s revocation of federal protections for transgender students and to request a meeting.

In a pair of tweets, Evancho, who has a transgender sister, said she was “obviously disappointed” with the decision “to send the #transgender bathroom issue to the states to decide.”

“U gave me the honor 2 sing at your inauguration,” Evancho wrote in a second tweet to her more than 82,000 followers. “Pls give me & my sis the honor 2 meet with you 2 talk #transgender rights.”
