Brigitte Macron – rumors about gender change

Brigitte Macron has been struggling for years with a wave of sensational rumors about a gender change – a topic that stirs both French and international public opinion. To a large extent, their popularization was driven by Natacha Rey and Amandine Roy, who in their publications and recordings suggested that the First Lady of France was in her youth actually her brother Jean-Michel Trogneux. Supporters of conspiracy theories point to ambiguities in documents and claim that her brother is in fact herself. For some, this is an absurd attack on the First Lady of France, for others – proof of a “hidden truth” covered up by the elites. Should Brigitte Macron cut off these speculations by appearing publicly with her brother, or should she remain silent and let the internet forget?
