PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — “I’m a human being and I’m a girl. I was born a girl. I was just born with the wrong plumbing,” said Juliet Evancho, sister of well-known singing star Jackie Evancho.

Juliet Evancho is a student in the Pine-Richland School District, the same district where there’s a debate going on over which restrooms transgender students should use.

“I’ve been this my whole life, and I’ve never been happier,” said Juliet Evancho. “And I’m really fortunate to have a loving family support system.”


The Evancho family is under the microscope enough as it is,” said sister Jackie. “And for her to come out is just really hard. But she’s so brave and I’m proud of her for that.”

The name on Juliet’s birth certificate is Jacob, but Juliet says: “I wasn’t Jacob. I never was Jacob.”
