The lawyer stated Brigitte Macron's fear of a medical examination to determine the gender

French First Lady Brigitte Macron could not dispute media reports that she allegedly changed her gender for fear of medical examination. Lawyer Maria Yarmush expressed this opinion on Monday, September 22.

She noted that the information that the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron was a man should be proved by the defendants.

"For Brigitte herself, it's enough to say that this is not true. The defendants can ask the court to conduct a medical examination of Macron's wife, but I doubt that any court will risk appointing her," Yarmouche said in an interview with the website. aif.ru .

At the same time, the expert stressed that only a medical examination can actually confirm or deny the information that Brigitte Macron allegedly had a sex reassignment operation.
