TRA publicly gloats about terminally ill young woman’s diagnosis and impending death

As everyone who read this will know, Magdalen Berns is terminally ill with glioblastoma and has moved to palliative care, which is the last stage of cancer. It is an absolute tragedy that a young person is in this position, and someone so brilliant and brave and committed, with so much to offer. Hideous.

I was utterly horrified to see on Twitter that Rachel Mckinnn has been publicly gloating about this fact, encouraging followers to ‘celebrate’ that Magdalen is ‘dying of brain cancer’.

This is evil, isn’t it? It’s the unvarnished face of hatred, spewing its pus out into the world.

There’s an open letter about this on Medium, but I want to do more. Does anyone have any ideas of how this could be publicised?

McKinnon in the past has also wished that we (the people who disagree with the TRA agenda) would ‘die in a grease fire’. This is a misogynist daydreaming about, and celebrating, women dying in horrible pain.

Am I right in thinking McKinnon may be coming to the UK at some point in the future? Doing what? Are there organisations involved with that visit, who can be asked publicly why they’re supporting this active, obscene, death fantasising hatred of women? Academic institutions? Cycling publications?

Is there scope for advocating for McKinnon to be barred from entering the UK, on the same grounds as are those who promote some forms of radical Islam? I know it wouldn’t succeed, but it could attract attention!

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere.

McKinnon is doxxing people and some of their followers are absolute psychos. That is quite serious Florisme

OhHoly

I got a response from my email via eventbrite.

They are "thinking this through carefully", atleast its something.

I've followed the thread and listened. I still disagree with this. I never knew Magdalen Berns and I realise some of you did, but she doesn't strike me as a person who would report you to your organisation because of something you'd said on Twitter. I imagine her response would have been, 'Fuck off you wanker' and then she'd have moved on.

I also think Mckinnon would be delighted to hear that they were currently getting more attention on FWR than Magdalen Berns. (Yes I'm aware I'm now adding to that.)

If Mckinnon comes to the UK then I think the focus should be on the cheating, not the tweeting.

There is a black hole where that person’s heart should be and no mistake. Despicable.

Imagine having to live inside that howling vortex of bile and hate. It’s not a good life McK has, is it? Cheating at sport and raging at disobedient women on the internet.

Women who are emailing Dr. Fatty McKinnon's sponsors and sporting feds:
The Union Cycliste Internationale is doxxing women. They are sharing emails regarding Rachel McKinnon's awful comments about Magdalen Berns with McKinnon, and McFatFuck is posting them on Jizzer.

(Jizzer is twitter.)

'Lesbian' is a protected characteristic in the UK. Lesbians are defined as women who are attracted to other women.

So this is a homophobic hate speech.

DrLouiseMoody · 27/08/2019 22:44

I have no words.

This has been added to my open letter.

Were McKinnon in Magdalen's situation I could not imagine even THINKING what they are posting - in fact, I think I'd be sad for their family, friends, and how they are feeling.

This is completely inexcusable.

They are a disgusting specimen and the more their vile hatred is publicised , the better.

I'm not going to go high, I'm going low. It may do nothing but Male me feel better for doing something. You come for one of us you come for all of us.

Is RM racing in Manchester? If so i think some large banners with "women dont have penises" would look beautiful. Would look good outside of the event in London also but at a sporting event there is likely to be a different/wider audience.

MissLawls · 27/08/2019 20:58

@50shadesofblackclothing you are probably on Terfblocker. Just following someone else who is on there is enough to get you included!

Let's give McKinnon a proper UK welcome, like we do when Trump visits!

Oh yes! A very warm very typical British welcome the way we welcomed Trump and Bush!

50shadesofblackclothing · 27/08/2019 20:47

I just tried to look this up on Twitter (not knowing much about the people referred to but being interested) and I'm blocked by Rachel McKinnon, I've vaguely heard of this but does anyone know why?
I mean, I saw the screenshots and it's fucked up but how does this person know to block me?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 27/08/2019 20:28

Can we wear cycle shorts? All those womanly curves will certainly give certain folx the envious rage.

SunsetBeetch · 27/08/2019 19:27

People on twitter were considering leaflets and posters of RM's nasty tweets along with photos ahowing how much bigger RM is than the women they race against TirisfalPumpkin

Let's give McKinnon a proper UK welcome, like we do when Trump visits!

Telesilla · 27/08/2019 18:53

Thank you! Just sent you a DM, and can imagine how many you're getting.

DrLouiseMoody · 27/08/2019 18:21

More signatories added - cannot reply to individual DM's as they are multiplying. If you don't see your name within a few hours of DM'ing me please prod me!

I’m surprised it took this long for one of these social media bottom feeding men in drag to start floating over the setting of a bright feminist star.

Go on, fucking ban me. Rachel M is a man. An attention seeking, sad, pathetic man.

Outofexcuses · 27/08/2019 18:08

Asked for my name to be added. Thanks Dr M.

JustTurtlesAllTheWayDown · 27/08/2019 18:05

I would say that I don't think McKinnon understands how words work but McKinnon does. McKinnon simply has zero interest in logic or doing anything other than attacking women.

Bozo the Bike says ‘it wisnae me’. I have trouble believing it - or maybe not. People like that don’t operate on the same level as human beings.

MissLawls · 27/08/2019 17:32

I want McKinnon to come to Britain. I want her to have a parade. And I want a little girl to shout out from the crowd, "But mummy! He's a maaaan!"

MockersthefeMANist · 27/08/2019 17:31

I notice that Sharron Davies recently fell off her bike in what looked like a very arduous training ride.

Maybe she's thinking of entering a masters event?

AlwaysComingHome · 27/08/2019 17:22

Might be worth contacting whoever the fuck still sponsors this despicable person.

Wurzelsnewhead · 27/08/2019 17:18

Call yourself what you like, identify as whatever you want but all that jumps out of the page when reading that Twitter feed is male aggression and entitlement.
