    ?? On 10 July 2025, the Paris Court of Appeal acquitted Natacha Rey and Amandine Roy, who were sued by Brigitte Macron for a video broadcast of 9 December 2021 in which they claimed that Brigitte Macron was born a man
    under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux.

    The cut off text:

    In January 2022, Brigitte Macron announced her intention to sue for
    defamation and obtained a conviction against Natacha Rey and Amandine Roy
    on 12 September 2024. They appealed, and have just been acquitted, which
    means that the court has found the defendants not guilty of an offence.

    This is a major victory –despite all the media vociferous denial and
    blame, Brigitte Macron has obtained NO CONVICTION FOR DEFAMATION against
    those who claim that she was born a man under the name Jean-Michel
    Trogneux. Brigitte Macron is the ‘wife’ of Emmanuel Macron, whom she met
    in 1992, when the future French president was 14 years old.

    Now, let’s start off with some caveats. While this author is a lawyer, he
    is not a French lawyer and their system is reportedly pretty radically different from our common law system. Indeed, this author doesn’t even
    speak French. And of course we always avoid engaging Gell-Mann amnesia (we explained the term, previously, here). Thus, we remember the fact that reporting on American legal proceedings is typically terrible even when everyone involved seems to be trying in good faith to understand the
    truth, and, to avoid that amnesia, we approach any legal reporting with appropriate caution.

    And not to put too fine a point on it, but we never heard of Mr. Poussard
    until today, so we looked around to see if what he is reporting is true.
    So, we found this, which is ultimately from the AFP:

    French appeals court clears two over first lady gender rumours
    Paris (AFP) – A French appeals court Thursday overturned convictions
    against two women accused of libel against French First Lady Brigitte
    Macron, after they spread false claims she used to be a man that reached
    the United States.

    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
    / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.
