Juliet Evancho is finally at peace with her body.
The 18-year-old Pittsburgh native recently became one of the faces of the transgender rights movement after younger sister Jackie Evancho — a classical crossover singer who placed second on America’s Got Talent in 2010 — performed the national anthem at President Donald Trump‘s inauguration on Jan. 20. But Juliet wasn’t in the Capital Mall crowd for the controversial appearance. She was in Philadelphia, undergoing sex reassignment surgery.
“Everyone on social media was like, ‘She doesn’t support her sister because she’s singing for Trump,'” Juliet says in the new issue of People.
