In 2024, Owens — then a host at Ben Shapiro’s outlet the Daily Wire — boldly stated that she’d stake her “entire professional reputation” [well that's not much, now is it] on Brigitte Macron being a man. Since then, Owens has repeatedly insisted that the French first lady was indeed born a man. At one point, she even launched an eight-episode series called “Becoming Brigitte” to further examine the baseless conspiracy theory.

Good, hopefully, the French President wins the lawsuit. These people should not be able to spread false news. Candace Owens should be fired for lying. But I doubt anything will happen.

more should sue trump and maga for their slander and lies.
Most people don't have a stable of lawyers on retainer. We have a tiered justice system.

I have no respect for Candice or her content, but it does make her a lot of money. This claim of hers regarding Brigitte Macron is kind of a strange obsession to have.
I put Candice in the same category as Kanye West.

So where does a Frenchman sue an American for what they say in America? The International House of Pancakes?
Superior Court of the State of Delaware.

Easily superior to IHOP.

I fear this lawsuit is going to have the Streisand effect. Before this thread I'd never heard any claims about Macron's wife. Never heard of his wife. I went and looked up some pictures of him her and now I'm wondering if it's a man.

That's part of why it's hard to take you guys seriously on the subject of trans people. So confident that you know what makes a man or a woman, and yet you whiff hard on this one.

Doesn't that cut both ways a bit with Macron's situation (in terms of being taken seriously)? lol

If someone being a Trans woman is "no big deal", and "there's no difference between Trans women and Cis women", and in fact, it's something that's empowering and to be celebrated...

Then why would someone be so offended at the claim his wife is a trans woman that it would cause a lawsuit?


Me: "Pineapple on pizza is just fine, in fact we should celebrate those kinds of differences, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it"
Podcaster: "When I saw this footage of Rob at a pizza shop, I'm pretty sure that looks like pineapple on his pizza, seems like he enjoys pineapple pizza"
Me: "How dare you say such a terrible thing about me! Defamation! Libel! Clutch the pearls! I'm going to sue you!"


Would that seem consistent?


Nobody who claims to be a trans ally should be offended by premise of a cis woman getting confused for a trans woman...because they're the exact same thing and there's nothing wrong it... correct?

It shouldn't be viewed as a bigger deal than if someone incorrectly thought she was a natural redhead who was dying her hair blonde if we're to believe the rhetoric of the allies.

Seems like Macron's unconscious and implicit biases are showing...
