    Right wingers: freedom of speech!

    Also right wingers: I’ll murder anyone who talks about my family!

      Not really understanding your point here. Candace Owens is a right winger. She’s slandering someone by deliberately misgendering them. Macron is correct to sue her.

        I’m referring to the Independent. The article is trash. They’re accusing her of “being a man.” It’s 2025, and newspapers are still using this disgusting language to refer to trans people.

          For me, that would only make sense if Owens literally ‘accused’ her of being a man, not a trans woman. The other case outlined in the text then would be a distinctly different case:

          Brigitte Macron was previously awarded £6,750 in damages last year after two other far-right influencers falsely accused her of being a transgender woman.
