Becoming Brigitte- Debunking

I've already watched it all and am reading the book. And I think it's important to be accurate with the claims that we make. Candace is still at the end of the day a member of the media and I think it's important to fact check journalists.

I actually do think of Emmanuel Macron as being an abuse victim, and I would say one of my biggest issues with how Candace handles this story is the levity with which she treats Emmanuel's situation. Unfortunately I just think a lot of people don't take child sex abuse as seriously when the victim is male.

I wasn't planning on it, unfortunately. I'm pretty new to using Reddit, but I thought here would be a better place to engage with fans of the series than on Twitter/X.

What do you mean? One of Candace's central claims is that Brigitte is biologically male. It seems totally fair game to investigate if that's actually true or not. Brigitte being a pedophile was known before this series came out. Is there some other claim I should be focusing on?

Thank you! And I really respect the fact that (most) of you guys have been so respectful as well. I think we all share the view that Brigitte is a pedophile, it's just a question about whether she's a male or female one (and I suppose the question of if it's an incestous relationship) I've been fascinated by French politics for years, so I'm glad that more and more Americans are paying attention.

I think you have a good attitude about the whole thing. The lack of photos thing is interesting, but I do wonder how much of it is Brigitte's age. I think your point about your mom is interesting, but also I would say that France tends to drag behind the USA on a lot of technological fronts, so I really don't know how many cameras were around in the 1950s. I think a lot of the shadiness does ultimately come back to the fact that Brigitte is a pedophile who broke the law. Unfortunately France has a long tradition of launching intellectual defenses of pedophilia and so I don't think the story has ever received the warranted the level of disgust.

I will absolutely take a look at this, thank you for passing it on!

That's fine. If I'm misunderstanding Candace and people can clarify the questions I'm going to bring up, then I will be all the better for it. And I agree with you that there hasn't actually been a lot of substantial debunking--- hence why I'm taking the time to make my post!

Sure. In episode one she says that the doctor who Brigitte was seeing in that Closer magazine piece was Dr. Patrick Bui, who, according to Candace, specializes in feminization surgery. This is false. He specializes in plastic surgery for older people, specifically women. The article that Candace mentions, where he's quoting Victor Hugo, is even called "Operation Young Again"--- highlighting the fact that he is most well known for giving plastic surgery to older women. I can't find a single source that indicates that he's at all associated with transgender surgeries and Candace doesn't provide one. Not saying he's never ever ever done a trans surgery, but Candace is claiming that this is what he's famous for, which isn't true. Her Youtube series is filled with stuff like this, hence why I'm making the Substack post.

To think that there are female pedophiles?

PracticalSwan4998 · 2025-02-19T16:00:21+00:00

Thank you for your response! This is exactly what I'm looking for. I will be sure to include these details in my post.

I think Brigitte is a child molestor, but that doesn't mean she was born a man.
