About Xavier Poussard: “Becoming Brigitte”
The publication of this article on Twitter (X) in French led to the permanent suspension of my account for 'spam or inauthenticity,' which is rather likely to reinforce my doubts about Brigitte Macron's identity
I don’t need to recount the official story of Brigitte Macron; it’s the one everyone knows: 13 Paris Match covers, two or three biographies, and numerous interviews suffice, even if they contain contradictions and mysteries. Is this story true? I don’t know, so let’s call it “Theory A.”
What interests me is uncovering “Theory B,” which I’d heard about but didn’t fully understand. It stems from the gaps in Theory A, the main ones being:
a) The complete absence of photos of Brigitte Macron with her three young children (pregnancy, stroller, playing…).
b) The existence of just one single photo of her first husband (the father of her children) in a swimsuit, published in his 2019 obituary notice (all others were supposedly burned, though by whom, we don’t know…).
That’s why I wanted to read Xavier Poussard’s book, Becoming Brigitte, especially since it was briefly removed by Amazon the day after its release. I ordered it, torn between curiosity and unease about delving into such a tabloid-like topic. After all, Le Canard Enchaîné is also a scandal sheet, albeit one with undeniable political relevance. Plus, it’s the only way for me to form my own opinion on the contradictions between Theory A and Theory B—and I love forming my own opinions.
The book is both easy and difficult to read: easy to get through, less easy to digest, as the investigation is thorough and the subject complex. Official story: Brigitte Macron marries André Auzière in 1974, and they have three children. She becomes a teacher in 1986. Between 1992 and 1993 (around age 40), she meets her student Emmanuel Macron (14 or 15), with whom a passionate affair begins. She soon leaves her husband, though the divorce isn’t finalized until 2006, and she marries Macron in 2007.
Poussard’s book clarifies one point: the wedding photo of Brigitte Macron (age 20) and André Auzière is indeed of young Brigitte Trogneux, seen sitting on her mother’s lap in an old family photo. This is true also for Brigitte's communion.
These are, in fact, the only two youthful photos of Brigitte. China’s most advanced facial recognition software confirms it.
Yet, this Brigitte would not be the “Brigitte” Macron married. The teacher would actually be Jean-Michel Trogneux, one of Brigitte’s brothers who transitioned. I admit it sounds far-fetched, but the book details how one might arrive at this wild hypothesis, and I’ll remind you of the mysteries (a) and (b) from the reasonable version.
The Macron Couple’s Sex Life
There’s no doubt that the Macron couple themselves have created a strange—and even creepy—atmosphere around their tastes and sexual identity. Recall one of the first Élysée parties featuring a trans music group, Macron’s promotion of writer André Gide, known for his pederasty, and the odd photos of Macron on trips and vacations with Brigitte.
However, Poussard’s book is incomplete. It’s very “extensive,” delving into the murky morals of trendy circles, but not “intensive” enough on the two key issues of “Theory B”:
If Jean-Michel usurped his sister Brigitte’s identity, what happened to her? Poussard suggests that, condemned by an incurable illness, she might have agreed. A pure hypothesis with no objective basis.
Who is the man, nicknamed “the little fat guy,” sometimes—never officially—presented as Jean-Michel Trogneux, whose address in Amiens is allegedly known and who, according to Poussard, holds identity papers in that name (far right, second row in this photo from Emmanuel Macron’s 2022 inauguration)?
Why not meet this man and push the investigation further from his side? I confess I don’t understand, because if he’s indeed Brigitte Trogneux’s brother, there’s no more “Brigitte mystery.” And if it’s that simple, why did the Macrons’ lawyers send a 100-page letter to Candace Owens, who showcased Poussard’s book in videos viewed by 65 million people, instead of just confirming Jean-Michel Trogneux’s existence, which would debunk all these theories?
A Resolved Case?
For those tempted to conclude too quickly based on this, I’ll highlight a chapter in the book that keeps the question wide open. In 2017, Macron was preparing a trip to Algeria. Le Point wrote, “The Algiers rumor claims that the First Lady, Brigitte Macron, will visit this illustrious university she allegedly attended in the past” (12/05/2017). The Central Faculty was entirely repainted white for this visit, which Brigitte ultimately skipped.
Things get interesting when an Algerian historian writes:
“Brigitte Macron, who was to accompany her husband to Algiers, had expressed a desire to visit the capital’s university, where ‘one of her great-aunts studied.’ While we’ve identified no ‘great-aunt’ in Algiers, Jean-Michel Trogneux’s presence there is, however, confirmed. And, no doubt, he was indeed a ‘great aunt’ himself…”
His presence in Algiers in 1965 is documented in a civil registry reproduced in Poussard’s book.
When Emmanuel Macron later grew closer to Morocco (Algeria’s great rival), La Nouvelle République, a mouthpiece for Algeria’s military and security services, described Emmanuel Macron as “a cocaine-addicted, psychopathic president under the thumb of his ‘wife’ Jean-Michel Trogneux, who runs France without being elected.”
No “serious” outlet picked up these vicious insinuations from Algerian publications, but it’s a chance to recall a profound remark by Noam Chomsky about minor sources: “The information is accessible, but only to fanatics (…) social reality is concealed by the intelligentsia.” Given the state of free expression in Algeria, these texts couldn’t have been published without the authorities’ approval.
This, for me, is the core interest of the affair. If Brigitte Macron is transgender, I don’t care; if she seduced a 14-year-old, I won’t judge her morally, because their relationship is undeniably a lasting love story. As Jesus said, “Her many sins are forgiven, for she loved much.”
But this unspeakable secret, with which the Macrons love to play, has significant political and social consequences. It could be the source of blackmail by Algeria. This would explain why France is unable to deport a single illegal and delinquent immigrant to Algeria, and why they feel they can get away with anything. An abnormal situation, difficult to understand.
We also know Trump had a secret file on Macron, and one wonders if he was being ironic when he told Macron (the day Becoming Brigitte hit bookstores) to “say hello to his very beautiful wife,” just as he congratulated Zelensky in military gear for “dressing up.” Recall too that Russian TV was the first to amplify this theory. This would make Macron a weak, easily manipulable president for the two years he has left in power.
If today we view those interested in this affair as yokels, I wouldn’t be surprised if, in a few years, we view those who didn’t know as the real yokels.
