The Evancho sisters are ready to fight against Trump's transgender military ban

The Evancho sisters, Jackie and Juliet, are ready to fight against President Trump's recent ban on transgender people serving in the military.

Jackie is the 17-year old singer who performed at Trump's inauguration. She told PEOPLE, "It was another one of those moments where I was like, ah, that's a disappointment."

Her sister Juliet came out as a transgender woman in 2015, and she said, "Transgender people are people and we can fight just as hard as anyone else in the military, and the expenses aren't that bad."

The president's proposal was announced this past July, reversing Barack Obama's policy that gave transgender people rights to openly serve in the military.

In a series of tweets explaining his decision, Trump said the following:

"Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail."

Jackie, who was a runner-up on America's Got Talent, faced intense backlash for performing for Trump. She even tried to set up a meeting with him to talk about transgender issues.

According to The Hill, that meeting hasn't been scheduled.
