More information on Obama's Transgender Nanny in Indonesia

The fact that Barack Obama had a transgender nanny when he was a child in Indonesia is not a new revelation; it was reported by the New York Times back in 2010. However, the Daily Mail has uncovered some new information:

Barack Obama's former nanny has been revealed as a gay transgender man who made the future president laugh by trying on his mother's lipstick.

'Evie' cared for the boy she called Barry when his mother Ann Dunham moved to the Indonesian capital of Jakarta in the late 1960s.

Openly gay, she would leave the house dressed in full drag - but was very careful that Barack never saw her.

'He was so young and I never let him see me wearing women's clothes,' Evie said. 'But he did see me trying on his mother's lipstick, sometimes. That used to really crack him up.'

Evie apparently entered the prostitution business after being Obama's nanny:

The nanny, who turned to prostitution after the family left and now lives in a slum, met the future commander-in-chief's mother at a cocktail party in 1969.

Dunham, who had moved to the country two years earlier with her second husband Lolo Soetoro, sampled Evie's beef steak and fried rice and was so impressed that she offered her a job.

It did not take long before she was also eight-year-old Barack's carer, playing with him and bringing him to and from school.

Of course, being exposed to a gay, transgender authority figure was not Obama's fault but that doesn't mean it didn't influence him. Perhaps it had something to do with creating Obama's worldview that prompted his calling Sandra Fluke to her that her parents should be proud of her.
