Brigitte Macron is a man?

By that I mean that claiming that the student is JMT would not contradict the official version. But I don't see how Brigitte can sue him for defamation, that would amount to saying that the official version was falsified and that the student is not JMT but or if it is the real JMT, she will have to prove that she is not JMT.

I so two other books this morning on amazon.fr searching for Xavier Poussard.
One titled Exercise And Practical Guide from Becoming Brigitte Workbook: Learning Skills From Xavier Poussard's Book for Daily Guidance by Steven Morgan, that as disappeared since >
And another titled The Knowledge Insights from Xavier Poussard's Becoming Brigitte: Lessons from Xavier Poussard's to Achieve Greatness in Any Field by Eden Walter.
Now searching Becoming Brigitte there is four more books of that sort.
Ah, now I understand what you're getting at. Good point.
Because this came from an official there's no way she can claim defamation without proving she's not JMT.
Wonder if we should ask the C's if the picture of the young man accurately captured the young Brigitte, or if like the freebus people suggest it was altered in some way or something.
Poussard's full interview is where it's at with all of these episodes. I found his explanations clearer and easier to follow.
So, we see the actions of the hidden hand in installing Macron. It was obvious to us at the time that he was an establishment/globalist pick who seemingly came out of nowhere. What's unusual however, is we don't normally get to see details like this, though the ultimate power will remain hidden.
Thinning of the veil? Triple bad day? Interesting times.

Strange comment by Candace today. She put Becoming Brigitte on a one day hold to give an update on the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni filing (amended complaint nothingburger), but at the conclusion said she’d be picking up the BB series tomorrow. Now I may have misheard it but she tossed out that people are now asking if Brigitte is in fact Emmanuel Macron’s mother! I’m not even sure how that would work!
But anyway, she’ll be back to it tomorrow.
But anyway, she’ll be back to it tomorrow.
Yes, this is what they are saying.

Well, I’m only about 20 minutes into this, but if - as someone suggested earlier - this does become a question for the Cs, please fold into the question her speculation as to whether Macron is in fact a result of Rothschild endogamy. “Vice is nice, but incest is best, to keep it in the family.” is what one of them said on a television interview years ago. Apparently up until 1899, this was an open practice among the Rothschilds to keep control of the fortune. Did they ever stop? Or are the Trogneaus really just a beard? This seems to be where Candace is headed! Or rather, she’s positing an uncle!

Here's what can be considered the official reaction so far, the AFP (Agence France Presse) published the following yesterday, One can only admire their steadfastness in denial. Deepl translation :
"Becoming Brigitte" or the round trip of a French infox recycled in the United States
Since the end of January 2025, French Internet users have been raving on social networks about American influencer Candace Owens' alleged “revelations” about Brigitte Macron. In a series of videos entitled “Becoming Brigitte”, she claims to provide evidence that the French First Lady is a transgender woman, whose given name at birth is Jean-Michel. In doing so, she revives an infox that went viral in France in 2021, when it was relayed in a far-right media outlet, whose spurious allegations Candace Owens now recycles.
"We are aware that we are taking enormous risks, but [...] they are necessary to protect children [...] from people we consider predatory. I am convinced that Brigitte Macron [...] is a predator“: this is how American influencer Candace Owens justifies, in the first episode of ”Becoming Brigitte“, her so-called ”revelations" about the French First Lady, distilled since late January 2025 in YouTube videos that galvanize the French-speaking conspiracy sphere.
If she is to be believed, the conservative blogger and fervent Donald Trump supporter's sole aim is to bring “everyone, throughout the world, to understand that something very dark and demonic is being played out”.
In her “documentary” series, the thirty-something Catholic woman spins out alleged “scandals linked to pedophilia, trans-identity, incest and sexual perversion” that “accidentally pursue” the Macron couple, like “strange recurring themes”.
According to Candace Owens, all these supposed clues demonstrate that Brigitte Macron, née Trogneux, is in fact a transgender woman whose birth name is Jean-Michel - a falsehood with transphobic overtones that began circulating in France in March 2021, before being picked up in the USA in 2024, including by Candace Owens.
Across the Atlantic, the influencer's discourse is part of a “particularly developed pedosatanist [...] imaginary”, “since the evangelists in the 1970s and then with the [far-right conspiracy movement, editor's note] QAnon, and accepted, relayed by leading figures like Trump”, explained Julien Giry, a researcher in information and communication sciences, to AFP in March 2024.
The infox may be old, but in recent weeks it has gained considerable resonance thanks to Candace Owens, whose YouTube channel boasts almost 4 million subscribers and whose podcast was among the 25 most listened-to shows on Spotify in the USA at the end of 2024.
His “revelations” delighted the French conspiracy movement and quickly went viral on social networks in France, giving rise to translation videos (here and here) and “analyses” (here and here). According to the social network trend analysis tool Visibrain, the terms “Becoming Brigitte”, “Candace Owens” and “Jean-Michel Trogneux” were cited in hundreds of thousands of messages published between January 30 and February 19, 2025.
Candace Owens hasbrought out the heavy artillery, with constant teasing, served up by a sense of soap opera and the posture of an allegedly threatened whistleblower.
Even before the first episode of "Becoming Brigitte", on January 10, the influencer claimed to have received a letter from the Macron couple aimed at "intimidating" her, as she prepared to broadcast "explosive content" on the French First Lady's past. She published allegedly selected extracts from the letter, written in English, while asserting that she "will not be silenced".
It was the start of a series of messages designed to build anticipation for her upcoming series. On January 17, the influencer published on X the reply she had sent to the French presidential couple the day before, containing a list of questions mainly about Brigitte Macron's past.
On January 31, the announced broadcast date for the first episode of “Becoming Brigitte”, the influencer boasts that she is “already trending” on the X social network, “despite the censorship and persecution taking place in France”. An hour before the start of the live show, she claims that her site is under “intense attack” from “what is clearly a state actor”, disruptions that “are coming specifically from France”, she adds.
In the end, the much-heralded first episode will only be an “introduction” for “English speakers” unfamiliar with “the situation in France”. For forty minutes, the influencer simply summarizes the story of the presidential couple's meeting and accuses them of being surrounded, in their close circle, by bad company.
She cites, in no particular order, press articles about accusations of incest against a political supporter of Emmanuel Macron, and complaints of rape of minors against the artist Claude Lévêque, some of whose works are on display at the Elysée Palace.
Also mentioned is Thomas Jolly, artistic director of the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and criticized for the presence of drag-queens at the ceremony: he is presented as a close friend of the presidential couple, not least because Brigitte Macron attended the preview of his show Starmania, in 2022.
As episode 2 approaches, Candace Owens promises further "revelations": "By now, I imagine their legal team recognizes that Brigitte was in fact born a biological male, because if not, why not just put an end to the rumors by answering yes or no questions?"
Innuendo, interpretation and "unanswered" questions
But while they now rack up over 5 million views, episodes 1 to 6 of the series, broadcast live on YouTube between February 4 and 17, 2025, actually contain no evidence whatsoever, despite their titles full of promise ("Manipulation of the public", "an inaccessible past", "one coincidence too many", "Jean-Michel Trogneux", "Who created Emmanuel Jean-Michel Macron?"...).
As in the introductory video, Candace Owens is content to weave baseless links between news items or personalities closely or distantly linked to the Macron couple.
Over the course of the episodes, she also points out allegedly disturbing details in certain archive photos, or is surprised that no other period shots of Brigitte or Emmanuel Macron are available. In the fifth episode, she uses Face++, an artificial intelligence (AI) facial recognition system, to compare youth photos of Brigitte Macron with a snapshot of her brother Jean-Michel as a child, and concludes that they are the same person.
Interspersed with appeals for donations to support her work, these videos also feature quotes taken out of context from journalists who have covered Brigitte or Emmanuel Macron's life in the course of making a documentary or writing a book.
For example, the American influencer expressed surprise that Françoise Noguès, Emmanuel Macron's mother, had said: “For me, Brigitte is not a daughter-in-law”. Candace Owens considers these remarks strange, even suspicious - and is careful not to specify the rest of the quote (archived link): “She's a friend like no other, we have the same affinities, the same priorities, we tell each other everything.”
Candace Owens also regularly mentions her mail exchanges with the “American law firm in Washington, DC” hired by the Macron couple to draft what she describes as a “hundred-page threatening letter”, from which she distributes various anonymized extracts.
Contacted by AFP on February 14, 2025, Brigitte Macron's lawyer, Jean Ennochi, confirms that the extracts of mail addressed to Candace Owens, and which she published, are indeed “a reproduction of a letter from the American lawyer” of the Macron couple.
On the other hand, it stresses that the list of questions supposedly sent by Candace Owens in return was “never” received by the interested parties. “Candace Owens' interventions are nothing but baseless assertions, amalgams to convince people who are already convinced by this delusional thesis - if there are any left”, he insists.
In the end, the American influencer's main argument remains the lack of any denial from the Macron couple, whom she criticizes for “not simply declaring that Brigitte Macron [...] was indeed born a woman”.
A French intox exported to the USA
One name, in particular, is often cited by Candace Owens in "Becoming Brigitte": that of Xavier Poussard, former editor of "Faits et Documents", a "confidential newsletter" founded in 1996 by far-right figure Emmanuel Ratier.
In 2021, "Faits et Documents" had relayed the "research" into Brigitte Macron's identity carried out by Natacha Rey, a woman presenting herself as an "independent journalist", and thus contributed to the visibility of this rumor on social networks, a few weeks before the French presidential election of 2022.
As AFP explained in an article in April 2024, the infox had first gained visibility when Candace Owens seized upon it in a video in March 2024, claiming to be investigating "the biggest political scandal in the history of mankind" and already citing "Faits et Documents" as her source.
These allegations, widely relayed in France by conspiracy theorists, covido-skeptics and the extreme right, prompted Brigitte Macron to take legal action. Natacha Rey and another woman were convicted of defamation in September 2024. And a new trial is due to take place for four men for cyber-harassment of the wife of the head of state, with the first hearing scheduled for July 2025.
mmanuel Macron himself had referred to these false claims on March 8, 2024, International Women's Rights Day: “The worst things are false information and scenarios put together with people who end up believing them and who jostle you in your intimacy”, he had deplored (archive here).
"‘Faits et documents’ has since [2021] continued to bring out dossiers on Brigitte Macron. But what's new is that Xavier Poussard began translating his argument at the end of 2023 under the advice of Aurélien Poirson [a former advertising executive, who is one of the defendants due to appear in July, editor's note], known on X as Zoé Sagan, and claims to have sent it in English to Donald Trump's entourage“, Emmanuelle Anizon, a senior reporter at L'Obs who met the two men and published ”L'Affaire Madame", explained the genesis of this infox to AFP on March 21, 2024 (archive here).
Initially circulated on confidential networks such as the 4Chan forum, it exploded “when influencers [...] such as former Fox News presenter Tucker Carlson or Candace Owens, who have a very large audience, gave it visibility”, as Sophie Chauvet, a doctoral student in information science, recounted for AFP on March 20, 2024 (archive here).
Xavier Poussard, behind the "revelations" of "Faits et Documents" and then "Becoming Brigitte"
In early January 2025, before her series began airing, Candace Owens spoke of her meeting with a journalist she believed to be well-informed about the Macrons, without giving his name but specifying that she had traveled to Europe to interview him "for two hours".
A week later, in her list of questions allegedly sent to the Macron couple, Xavier Poussard's name appears in the first: "Why do the Macrons refuse to take Xavier Poussard to court? He was the first journalist to publish the affair in Faits et documents, claiming that Brigitte Macron had transitioned from man [to woman]."
Candace Owens further thanks him in the introductory episode of "Becoming Brigitte", in which she explains that she is "repeating his work" and says she is "honored that he chose her to bring this case to the public's attention". In subsequent videos, she repeatedly mentions the imminent publication of a book by Xavier Poussard on her "investigation", from which she quotes extracts and shares the cover.
As can be seen in the screenshot below, the book takes its title from Candace Owens' “investigative series” and is described as an “investigation by Xavier Poussard presented by Candace Owens”. The American influencer also interviewed him in the sixth episode of her series.
And so the story comes full circle: so-called “revelations” in the USA have revived on social networks in France a rumor that originated there in 2021, and had the same French source.
A rumor linked to the Rothschilds in the print version of "Becoming Brigitte"
On his X account, Xavier Poussard, who today presents himself as a "French investigative journalist based in Italy", was delighted in early February 2025 to see the English version of his book rank among Amazon's bestsellers in the "Politics" category.
On February 12, he relayed an article from the official Russian news agency Ria Novosti (archived link), published the previous day and detailing Candace Owens' "revelations".
In the paper version of "Becoming Brigitte", a self-published work on Amazon, which AFP was able to consult, Xavier Poussard develops, over 300 pages, the same innuendo, questioning and hypotheses as those presented by Candace Owens, supplemented by other assertions of the same ilk and identical visual illustrations.
The book's epilogue, entitled "The Blood of the Rothschilds", focuses on the role played by the notorious Rothschild family - the subject of numerous conspiracy theories, against a backdrop of anti-Semitism - in the emergence of Emmanuel Macron, one of its former bankers, on the political scene.
"In Paris, some suspect that the Macron product ("Brigitte and Emmanuel") is simply David de Rothschild's instrument to make France pay for François Mitterrand's nationalization of the bank in 1981. Many wonder about the strangely tactile complicity between David de Rothschild and 'Brigitte', which raises many questions about the true nature of the relationship between the presidential couple and the Rothschilds...", argues Xavier Poussard.
He adds, in the following sentence: "Although publicly acknowledged, this relationship is implicitly taboo in French public debate. Anyone who dares mention the subject is immediately accused of anti-Semitism, and would see their career immediately destroyed."
A means of "demonizing a political opponent"
This is not the first time the Macron couple have been targeted by rumors intertwining gender and sexual orientation. At the time of the 2017 presidential campaign, Emmanuel Macron had to deny allegations about his alleged homosexuality and a supposed affair with former Radio France CEO Mathieu Gallet.
“The ‘secretly trans’ person narrative is a long-standing feature of online sexist violence”, this is based on the “premise that transgender identities, especially ‘hidden’ ones, are so odious that once the truth is revealed, these women will lose all credibility and power”, judged the American research institute Wilson Center in a report in 2021 (archived here).
In March 2024, Sebastian Dieguez, a specialist in conspiracy theory at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, noted that “the bottom line is that the elites are perverted, sick, and have a bizarre sexuality, with the aim of demonizing a political adversary [via] themes taken up by the alt-right' [American far right, editor's note] on transidentity, homophobia and pedophilia” (archived here). In the face of this, “strong men must restore order and morality, in the image of Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin”, according to this reading grid.
After having watched all the episodes, I'm left with the impression that the transgenderism of 'Brigitte' is just the tip of the iceberg. As Candace says in the last episode, the history and geneaology of both the Tragneux and Macron families are so utterly weird and messed up (e.g. with all the smilar names, lack of photographs) that you have to draw the conclusion that it's all intentional.
Given that the obscuring and tweaking of the history of these families apparently goes way back, I'm left with the impression that they could be some sort of 'undergrounders' that are not completely human. They've made up most of their genealogy and history to hide the fact that they're something completely else. Pure speculation, of course, but that's what my gut is telling me.

That angle is the only thing giving this thread credence.
What angle? Could you please be more specific?
