President Trump would be willing to sit down and meet with Jackie Evancho and her sister Juliet to discuss some of the issues facing younger members of the transgender community in the wake of his decision to lift protections in schools.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was asked during his daily briefing on Thursday if President Trump had heard about Jackie's attempts to speak with him and if he would agree to speak with her and her transgender sister, to which he replied: 'I think the President would be welcome to meet with her.'

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.'

Challenged by a teen: Jackie Evancho (above with sister Juliet)made a public plea to President Trump asking him to rethink his decision to lift bathroom protections for transgender students

Jackie (left with Trump in 2009), who sang at President Trump's inauguration, had her transgender sister Juliet (right with Jackie in 2012) speak about what she faces every day at school since she came out as transgender two years ago

On Wednesday night, Jackie fired off a pair of tweets asking President Trump to sit down and speak with her about his decision to rescind the federal guidelines put in place by Barack Obama allowing students to use the bathroom matching their gender identity.

'I am obviously disappointed in the @POTUS decision to send the #transgender bathroom issue to the states to decide. #transgender,' wrote Jackie in her first tweet.

She then followed that up by writing: '@realDonaldTrump u gave me the honor 2 sing at your inauguration. Pls give me & my sis the honor 2 meet with u 2 talk #transgender rights.'

President Trump did not respond though, and had been off Twitter for an unprecedented 24 hours by Thursday morning, so Jackie tried a different approach by appearing on GMA.

That seemed to ultimately do the trick.

'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, what they deal with,' said Jackie at the start of the interview.

'The discrimination, it’s terrible.'

She then handed things over to Juliet, who spoke about what transgender students like her go through at school.

'Basically, being at a high school where the policies on the bathroom are unclear, I, as Jackie has said, I kind of live it every day, going through discrimination,' said Juliet.

'I’ve had things thrown at me. I’ve had people say pretty horrible things and the unsafe environment is just very unhealthy.'

Juliet was also asked how she felt when she learned that the protections were being lifted, saying: 'When I heard about it I was very disappointed and I realized that we would need to take action in order to enlighten the administration on everything.'

This is not the first time that Juliet has agreed to step forward and share her story, with the teenager penning an essay for Teen Vogue back in December that detailed her coming out journey and the struggles she faced along the way.

'I know God made me this way and guided me through this process,' wrote Juliet in that piece.

'He also gave me a platform to share my story so that I can show others who have similar stories and struggles that there is light at the end of the tunnel.'

Still at it: Pls give me & my sis the honor 2 meet with u 2 talk #transgender rights,' wrote Jackie

Juliet underwent gender conformation surgery the next month, an exciting step for the young woman but one that caused her to miss kid sister Jackie singing in Washington DC.

The GMA interview ended with Jackie being asked if she would have still agreed to sing the national anthem at President Trump's swearing-in ceremony knowing now that he would revoke transgender protections.

'Most definitely,' said Jackie.

'The reason I did sing for the inauguration was not politics, it was for the honor and privilege to perform for my country and that will stay the same.'
