Court fines 2 women for spreading lie that Brigitte Macron was born male
Far-right groups latched on to transphobic rumors during election campaign.
PARIS — A French court convicted two women of libel for spreading transphobic rumors about France’s First Lady Brigitte Macron, according to local media reports.
In December 2021, the two women — one posing as an independent journalist and the other one as a clairvoyant — said in a YouTube video that Emmanuel Macron’s wife was in fact born as a male named Jean-Michel Trogneux (which is the actual name of Brigitte Macron’s brother). They also claimed that Brigitte Macron’s first husband never existed and that she didn’t carry her three children.
On Tuesday, the judicial court in Lisieux fined both women €2,000 each, after Brigitte Macron and her brother Jean-Michel Trogneux decided to sue them for libel.

Upon further googling it appears the suit Brigitte lost relates to a YT video and compensation. The courts voided this suit because they said it should have been filed as a public defamation case and not an invasion of privacy and image case.

Brigitte WON the libel case against the 2 women who claimed she was a man. Yet looking at this Ryan guy's Twitter post headline it gives the impression she lost the libel case that claimed she was a man. It is misleading.
