The Handwritten Note, Evie the Nanny, and Transgender Policy

Following Joan Rivers' death, Barack Obama sent a handwritten note to her daughter, Melissa Rivers, which is described as a "gangster move." The discussion links Obama’s late-term focus on transgender bathroom policies to his childhood in Indonesia, where he was cared for by a nanny named Evie who was a transgender woman. This personal history is suggested as the root of his specific policy priorities.
