Unexpected news. Joachim Son-Forget, former Macronist deputy from 2017 to 2022, recently announced that he had carried out a gender transitionin an interview with Swiss media Blick.
With shaved hair, light makeup and pendants, he revealed that he had changed his first name. From now on, his name is indeed Eva.
“It wasn't easy to choose, but I like Eva, a reference to Eve, created from a rib of Adam. She immediately did something stupid“, explained the former member of the Socialist Party. A decision that the ex-elect confirmed on C8.
Guest of Cyril Hanouna on the set of Facing Hanouna this Sunday, December 8, 2024, Eva added: “There is something funny in the character of Eve because she drags the man she comes from to go eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge. She is supposed to follow the devil by following the serpent. Who knows if God is devil and devil is God. There is a side where woman has a kind of primacy in the beauty of the world.”
