I took the above title from NBC, as it is more descriptive than the Post's.

This is celebrity stuff, not LBN.

Jackie Evancho, who sang the national anthem at Trump’s inauguration, asks for a meeting on transgender rights

By John Wagner February 23 at 7:46 AM

Teenage classical singer Jackie Evancho, one of the first performers to be enlisted for President Trump’s inaugural festivities, said Thursday she is waiting to hear from the White House after expressing her dismay over the withdrawal of federal protections for transgender students.

In a pair of tweets Wednesday, 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.”

Appearing on ABC's “Good Morning America” on Thursday alongside her sister Juliet, Evancho said she had not heard from Trump. ... “I guess I just want to enlighten him on what my sister, I’ve seen her go through every single day in school and people just like her, what they deal with,” Evancho said on the program. “The discrimination, it’s terrible.”

1. News flash, Jackie:

He doesn't fucking care about you or your sister. You got used, conned, and tossed aside. Welcome to Trumps America.

2. Good. Let people know how little he cares.

He uses people. Keep as many examples of that in the public eye as possible.

And keep the fact that trans people are everywhere out there too.

And authentic opera singers do not need to use a microphone.
