Magdalen Berns Appreciation Thread

62 replies

heresyandwitchcraft · 20/08/2018 10:04

Prompted by a poster on our previous thread (thanks woman11017), Magdalen has updated us on her health:
twitter.com/MagdalenBerns/status/1031267709168836608

I don't know if she reads Mumsnet, but THANK YOU, Magdalen. When I first started wondering about all of this, Berns' videos were the only ones that spoke a language I could actually understand, instead of this Queer Theory steaming pile of ordure impenetrable nonsense.

Outspoken, intelligent as fuck, strong, hilarious, and generally amazing. The kind of woman you're in awe of (and more than a little intimidated by - in the best way). Perfect combination for a feminist, especially one almost single-handedly taking on the internet. It breaks my heart that nature has dealt such a shit hand to her.

If you haven't watched her YouTube channel, just do it already.

Nothing but love for Magdalen, complete gratitude for her work, and wishing her well in this continued battle with her health.

I think she's fabulous. Fight on, Magdalen.

FoldyRoll · 20/08/2018 16:30

Wow. I have a similar tumour and struggle to put a coherent sentence together most of the time. I'm even more in awe of her now.

A terrific woman, a warrior.
I hope to see a statue of her some day.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 20/08/2018 13:39

An amazing woman

Magdalen, your youtube vids helped me understand and put into words exactly what it was I was so furiously angry about but couldn't articulate. It was hugely empowering, thank you.

Takfujimoto · 20/08/2018 13:37

She has all of my genuine respect, I also luffs her a wee bit and I hope she's in the best health possible

Oldstyle · 20/08/2018 13:34

Everything you have said OP. Extraordinary woman.

AnchorMum · 20/08/2018 13:33

Magdalen tells it as it is. Thank god for her articulate, truthful insights and for calling the non-sense out.

Her videos should be prescribed by GPs to any young people who come through their doors questioning their 'gender identity.'

I don't really like watching vlogs, but I make an exception for Magdalen Berns. I love the detail, the pacing, the sarcasm and also obviously the razor sharp analysis. Superb. My partner said that she comes across like a great mate you'd like to hang around with.

So nice to have that body of work that makes pretty terrifying developments seem more managable by breaking them down and taking the piss!

Magdalen!

Magdalen is so inspiring, I wish I had a tiny amount of her get up and go.

SirVixofVixHall · 20/08/2018 13:19

She is wonderful.

Theswaggyotter · 20/08/2018 11:02

She’s an inspiration.
Best wishes Magdalen
