Magdalen Berns has been beaten up!

This is so shocking, sending out healing energy to both

Dear Magdalen, if you see this, know we're all thinking of you - and the good man who came to your defence.

Good idea, grandplans. It's a concrete way of showing support.

Asaprofessional, if you can get onto YouTube Magdalen Berns has her own channel. She's extremely articulate and sometimes very funny.

She's a lesbian feminist activist. Not sure if she's still a student but when she was she was banned from loads of LGBTQ groups for pointing out that demanding lesbians have sex with TIM is homophobic. Shes She's been the target of a lot of TRA bullying. Magdalen is a tiny woman who is being treated for brain cancer. She's physically frail, though an intellectual powerhouse.

AsAProfessionalFekk Madgalen's twitter says:

I just got beaten up by a random bloke on the street.

My head hurts

Police and ambulance came. The bloke that came to help me got the worst of it. Apparently they have good cctv footage of the whole incident so hopefully the lunatic will get caught.

The man that came to help me ... got knocked out trying to stop this lunatic and possibly saved my life in the process.

The good news is I finished my latest vid this eve before I got battered.

And she also says she's hard as nails, and being looked after by her GF.

Agreed Helico. There's good CCTV footage apparently, so hopefully somebody will identify him.

Fekko, as far as I can tell she got attacked by a stranger in the street, another guy stepped in to helm Magdelen and was knocked unconscious for his troubles.

And on Magdelen's twitter feed she got mansplained about being beaten up.

i hope she's ok & there isnt a knock on effect on her health.
I hope the guy who stepped in recovers quickly

I would be very, very surprised if this turned out to be a random attack unrelated to her views

I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Of course it's a possibility - but from her twitter it seems she doesn't think so.

It might have been a lesbophobic attack. Or just a nutter.

Magdalen is not only an awesome woman's rights activist, she's also a young woman with a life, who I would imagine gets out and about in Edinburgh and other places. She has plenty of opportunities to come across nutcases.

Hope she is ok

And the man that came to her aid

I aren't been able to get much info on Magdelen (phone being an arse). Can someone give me the one minute brief?

Magdalen and lovely man who helped her.

I agree helico. Sadly.

If it is a TRA who has done this - I expect they’ll end up outing themselves, boasting about it.

grandplans a really nice idea

I would be very, very suprised if this turned out to be a random attack unrelated to her views

And probably an order of magnitude smaller than you, as well.

I hope they are both ok and have a speedy road to recovery. Also, to the thug who beat her and the one who said it was only one punch, fuck right off, not acceptable.

Imagine being enough of a disgusting shitlord to beat up anyone. Then imagine the kind of shitlord who beats up someone who’s recently had brain surgery and has epilepsy

Oh, how awful. And I hope the man who came to her aid is ok. What a terrible thing to have happen to them.

speedy recovery, Magdalen. She’s a tiny person with serious health issues, who on earth could think that any violence against her is justified. Blows to the head as well . It sounds like a (male) passer by who came to her aid was knocked out. That’s some force involved.

She has just said it was a “random bloke” - no indication that it was a targetted attack because of her activism. But, you can’t help wonder can you. It would be so sadly unsurprising if so.

@Terfing Sun
Maybe we could start a fundraiser for the guy?

I'd contribute to a fundraiser. He should be able to claim criminal injuries compensation as well.

'And some guy on her twitter feed said that she hadn’t been beaten up - or she wouldn’t be able to tweet.'

Sounds like a threat to me.

Hope she is ok.

Only came across her last night after lots of googling and a series of links brought me to one of her videos, then spend 3 hours on youtube watching them.

Magdalene if you are reading, we love you, recover well. Xxxx

It is awful, she is so delicate and fragile it horrifies me that she got beaten up and yet again, a man has to come along and tell her she was mistaken.

Thank fuck for the man that stepped in.

God how awful! Hope they catch the fucker who did this.
