As a reminder, the hysteria, and even hatred, against trans-women also affects cis-gender women.
Hannah Botterman is a biological woman, who is not a trans-man. She just chooses a "look" that does not conform to gender-stereotypes (e.g., short hair).

If your friend is staying in the Schengen Area (incl. France) for less than (or up to?) 90 days in any 180 days period, do not engage in professional activity (other than business meetings, etc), they are eligible for a "visa waiver",and do not require a visa.

Appreciate you're not the author of this article,but for the record,Edouard Philippe is not a "centrist" but a "centre-right" politician whereas Raphaël Glucksmann is so moderate that he is more "centre-left" than "moderate leftist". Classic example of the Overton window having shifted to the right.
