I don’t mind being called a conspiracy theorist. The killing of JFK was a conspiracy, and 9/11 was a conspiracy, and I wrote theories on both, so I’m a conspiracy theorist. I don’t reject any conspiracy theory on principle. Even looking into those which are obvious nonsense can teach you something about the extent of human gullibility or about the techniques of cognitive infiltration. So in 2023 I looked into the theory that Brigitte Macron was born a man. I concluded it had a very low probability, and I told Xavier Poussard and anybody who asked for my opinion. But I didn’t want to spend any more time on it.
However, I now feel some kind of responsibility to read and review Xavier Poussard’s book, Becoming Brigitte, published last month with the endorsement of Candace Owens. So I bought the original French version, read it in a day, and posted my first impression on March 12, in an ironic tweet saying: “After 292 pages, the ultimate proof. Come on, believe!”
This is a credible debunking of the theory that Brigitte Macron is a transgender man. I read the whole thing as I highly respect and enjoy Guyénot’s work. Then I read the comments under his article and became less sure again. At best, the Brigitte story is an interesting aside in our world; worth some investment if you like but not terribly important. Whether it is true or false, I will probably continue posting interesting pieces on it when I run across them. Owens is funnier on this topic than Guyénot, for whatever that’s worth. ABN
