    Yeah except this is a court case. Like, make no mistake, she’s gonna try to weasel around all this, but the evidence isn’t for her to decide, it’s for the court to say. Like, it’s blatantly obvious that Owens has a clear disregard for the truth, but this evidence is being presented to the court to establish the actual truth that Macron is afab and sufficiently endosex as to not have this be a reasonable question. Owens will be free to disbelieve it if she likes, but if the court says that given the evidence there is no way a reasonable person party to this evidence can disbelieve this without a gross disregard for the truth then Owens can still be legally barred from saying it.

        Well yes, this is aiming to go a similar route to Alex Jones and Sandy Hook. You start with defamation and fines and as they keep ignoring the court’s demand that they stop you keep increasing punishment

        Given that they aren’t going to cut out her tongue, presumably the plan is to bankrupt her with fines when she predictably continues repeating libel
