Condolences to her friends and family. To have lost such an amazing woman so young must be horrendously heart wrenching.

I will be more Madeleine.

MonsteraCheeseplant · 14/09/2019 16:25

Sorry, don't want to de-rail. Back on topic.

I wonder if anyone will do an obituary for Magdalen?

MonsteraCheeseplant · 14/09/2019 16:16

Jesus Christ DuMondeB, that Ash just comes across as a child.

3timeslucky · 14/09/2019 13:32

What a woman! And what a terrible loss to her family and friends and to all of us.

The Ash Harrell one is my favourite, because it very clearly demonstrates the ‘AFAB Non-Binary’ identity is just a 20teens take on the age-old ‘I’m not like other girls’ trope.

We are all unique, yet we are all the same. Biology, innit?
Get over it.

The Alex Drummond video is so funny - probably one of my favourites

'Your minds are so open your brains have fallen out' 🤣🤣

I have just watched her video about Alex Drummond and have been laughing out loud.

Alex: the thought of surgery terrifies me.

Magdalen: of course it terrifies you Alex, they chop your cock off.

She gave no fucks.

I can't believe she has gone actually.

SunsetBeetch · 14/09/2019 12:35

I'll never forget you Magdalen. You have inspired me to be braver and more outspoken. I continue to fight because of you. Rest in power, you wonderful woman.

DuMondeB · 14/09/2019 12:33

Be More Magdalen.

Bern Bright.

RoxytheRexy · 14/09/2019 07:08

This is such sad news. She was a strong courageous women and it seems very unfair her life was cut so short. Huge love to her family and friends.

I remember watching her videos ironing and laughing out loud

RIP

WaggingKnife · 14/09/2019 06:18

How incredibly sad.

ErrolTheDragon · 14/09/2019 00:24

its got a link in it to a longer piece.

'You were the voice for many who had none.'

More and more women are finding their voices thanks to you. Thanks

Madeleine Kearns with a very brief, beautiful tribute in the National Review (of all places):

Oh Magdalen.you were proper.
Indomintable spirit.

As someone once said 'she didnt half give them cunts a turn'

Grin Long live Magdalen Berns. Wine

It's brilliant DJLippy - thank you. Made me smile :)

I'm sad ILikeYourHairyHands because a brilliant woman has been taken in her prime. She will be deified and she deserves to be. She was standing up for women when she was at Edinburgh University and she got no end of shit for it - she made her videos at enormous personal cost.

Nikhedonia · 13/09/2019 23:31

Such sad, sad news.

Remarkable woman and a loss to us all.

💔

Moomin8 · 13/09/2019 23:28

Gosh, she looked younger than 35 but 35 is still no age anyway :(

It's true that she didn't want people to feel sorry for her. But it's still upsetting to lose a person as ground breaking as she was.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 13/09/2019 23:23

So very sad, love to all who knew her Flowers

Magdalen will be achingly missed for a long time.

MagneticSingularity · 13/09/2019 23:04

My sympathies to Magdalen Bern’s family and friends. I hope they can find some comfort in the knowledge of how very much she was admired and respected in the greater community of women. Such a sad loss.

RebornFlame · 13/09/2019 22:59

Her strength will live on in everyone she inspired.
RIP Magdalen Berns

ALittleBitofVitriol · 13/09/2019 22:34

Love to Magdalen's family and friends, so terribly sad.
What a woman she was, incredible, beautiful, wicked smart.
