The article from which this thread shares its name, written by Larry Johnson of Sonar21, is mainly about the claim that the wife of French President Macron is in fact biologically male. This is a claim that has been made for some time, and has been brought up in this forum before. Perhaps the most recent time is here:
I'd like to point out that I am -not- against transgender women identifying as women, but there's a difference between identifying as being a woman gender wise and being a woman biologically. Alright, with that said, here is the link to Mr. Johnson's article:
I'll now quote its introduction below:
**
When I first heard the claim that Emmanuel Macron’s “wife” was actually a dude, I was skeptical. I thought, “no one could be that reckless and crazy.” Well, I was wrong. Xavier Poussard, an intrepid pitbull of a journalist, doggedly and meticulously pursued the story and has produced solid evidence that the French President married a transgender man who has identified as a woman since the 1970s. His book, Becoming Brigitte, is now available.
Candace Owens, who is routinely described in the mainstream press as a conspiracy kook, has devoted several episodes of her YouTube channel to this story. She is simply reporting on the details collected by Mr. Poussard, but has just been sued for defamation by the Macrons. That case is going to be laughed out of court in the United States because she is simply reporting on the work of a journalist, who also has been sued by the Macrons. Morons!
If you do an AI search on Poussard’s work, you get this as the typical answer (This is from Perplexity AI):
This shows you how corrupt and biased these AI engines are. Nothing to see here. Move along.

I'd like to point out that I decided to ask an AI myself, trying what is generally louded as a more conservative one, Grok. Turns out Grok also follows the mainstream line that this story is false. Mr. Johnson's article concludes on what I believe is a positive note, however, that being that a recent indictment against journalists Natacha Rey and Xavier Poussard was overturned on appeal on July 10, 2025. To whit:

Brigitte Macron filed a defamation lawsuit in France in early 2022 against journalist Natacha Rey and Xavier Poussard, the editor of the far-right publication Faits et Documents, over articles and investigations they published claiming that she was born male (as Jean-Michel Trogneux, her brother’s name) and had stolen another person’s identity. In September 2023, a lower court in Lisieux convicted Rey and Roy (Poussard’s direct involvement in the trial is noted in some reports as co-accused or source), ordering them to pay €8,000 in damages to Brigitte Macron and €5,000 to her brother. However, on July 10, 2025, the Caen Court of Appeal overturned the conviction, acquitting Rey (and by extension clearing related claims involving Poussard), ruling the allegations did not constitute defamation.
I encourage you to watch Candace Owens interview Xavier Poussard. It is free, but is not posted on YouTube because the censors don’t want you to hear the evidence and make up your own mind. I found Mr. Poussard very compelling.

So how is this relevant to the horrific chaos unfolding in the world today, especially in Gaza and Ukraine? If you watch the six episodes that comprise Candace’s telling of the Brigitte Macron story — Becoming Brigitte — you will come away with a pretty good understanding that Emmanuel Macron is a creation of some very powerful people and a realization that we have been blackpilled. What is amazing is that the Macrons have been able to pull off this scam and the French society has swallowed the lie hook, line and sinker. The world is not what it seems and it is clear we are being fed a steady diet of bullshit.

Perhaps my favourite point is one that of a commenter to Larry Johnson's article. To whit:

A simple, properly taken and observed chromosome test, like they used for Olympic athletes, would clarify this easily and once and for all. Note that little Jupiter and his “wife” won’t go anywhere near that solution.

Now, I certainly haven't seen any evidence that the Macrons are against this potential solution to resolving this controversy. But it does seem like a rather straightforward way of resolving it, which makes me wonder, if this would resolve it, and Brigitte truly is a biological woman, why hasn't this been done already?

If you do an AI search on Poussard’s work, you get this as the typical answer (This is from Perplexity AI):
Xavier Poussard, a French journalist known for his book “Becoming Brigitte,” was sued by French President Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Macron for alleged cyber-harassment and defamation, following his involvement in spreading conspiracy theories about Brigitte Macron’s identity. As of July 2025, the Macrons have filed their lawsuit against Poussard after a surge in online claims—some of which trace back to his reporting and publications—which allege, without evidence, that Brigitte Macron was “born a man.” Poussard now resides in Italy, reportedly citing safety concerns after the controversy escalated.
The lawsuits by the Macrons have received international attention, with similar actions launched against others making these claims, notably American commentator Candace Owens. The legal action against Poussard is part of a broader effort by the Macrons to counter what they describe as a “campaign of global humiliation” and cyber-harassment rooted in persistent online conspiracy theories
