Magdalen Berns

[itsbetterthanabox]

Anyone seen Magdalen Berns? She's an Edinburgh student who does some fantastic feminist videos and activism. She is a lesbian and has gone up against Ada J Wells and been banned from the Edinburgh LGBT society. I think she needs our support!

She's incredible, so brave and articulate, especially for one so young.

It's horrific that straight men are excluding lesbians from the gay scene

I found this quite amusing. He is a heterosexual man and most of what he says matches what Magdalen Berns was saying about Riley Dennis.

Both he and Magdalen going "eek" at the thought of a sexual encounter with a penis.

That video that mag is answering to, has pissed so many people off, my sidebar on youtube was full of replies to it.

Hasn't it just?

The bloke in the one I linked isn't particularly pleasant in his other videos but on this , can't really argue with any of the dissenting voices.

I do wonder whether Riley Dennis truly believes what she is saying. Unless she she is bi, she must know that sexual orientation doesn't tend to waver for most people, (despite giving themselves a good talking to).

Riley Dennis is a trans lesbian who, judging by the video and the strained voice, is not getting the dating success RD feels entitled to. This video is a riff on the cotton ceiling. I'm beginning to think that if I were a lesbian I might run amok if faced with any more of this crap.

There seem to be lots of these videos. Getting laid is a preoccupation of transwomen. The idea that you can whine or bully people into bed isn't something that resonates with me. Overweight middle aged women don't make videos about how it's ageist that hot young men aren't attracted to us. Transwomen, otoh, feel entitled to tell the rest of us what our sexual preferences should be. Male socialization much?

I may make that video!

(Although I am happily married)

Unboxing and amazing wishlist?!

Wow I may start a channel!!

Claiming that people not wanting to have sex with you is bigotry, is entitlement of the highest order

I think that the world needs more articulate, informed and brave people like Magdalen. I've been following her for a little while on YouTube and generally agree with what she says.

I broached the subject of trans rights with a trans friend, and she admits that even she gets confused by a lot of the labelling and also the demands made by certain trans groups. She also admitted, that when you've spent most of your life having male privilege, it's difficult or even impossible to ever understand the female experience.

I admire her consistent use of the term "Male transwoman"

This latest WRT Danielle Muscato shows up a transwoman basically saying similar things to a "terf"

If DM is genuine he's really helping the "terf" cause.

Ive just watched two of Magdalen's videos on YouTube and I'm hooked.

Magdalen, if you're reading this thread: THANK YOU for your bravery, your articulateness (yes I'm aware that may not actually be a word, oh the irony) and your absolutely stonking common sense and humanity

cor the Danielle Muscato video is brilliant. and i'm developing a bit of a crush on the fabulous Magdalen :)

Never heard of her, but just watched the first video AskBasil posted. Brave young woman.

Loving Magdalen's jaunty santa hat.

Me too hangry. That video is hilarious. Thanks Magdalen!

Love her 💕

Magdalen gave me my peak trans moment a few months back and I've been watching ever since. I seriously hope she's considered a career in politics because of the sheer wealth of common sense and sincerity that she has. She's fucking immense.

Magdalen is awesome. Can't wait for any takedown she does of the ludicrous Everyday Feminism, especially after that latest one

Everyday Arseholes more like.

I'm also very much looking forward to Magdalen's musings on them

Love her. Nails it every time.

Just adding my voice to the crowd, bloody love MB. X

Everyday Feminism is a joke. It's so anti-feminist it's almost a parody though, if so, it's not terribly funny.

Pleased to observe that Riley Dennis, the transwoman whose video Magdalen Bern takes down so trenchantly, has 25k dislikes and only 1k likes for Riley's video. Maybe people are beginning to see through the utter fuckwittery that is trans activism. Riley is massively homophobic and lesbophobic, and appears never to have heard of sexual orientation. There are about half a dozen videos parodying Riley now: Riley has got a lot of people riled up.

I'm going to go against the grain on the latest one which I don't much like. The Riley Dennis one was great . But I think the latest one might have been more effective if she had simply commented on points where she and Theryn Meyer are in agreement rather than ridiculing Meyer and to be honest I stopped listening at the silly voice at the end.

I quite like the idea that Muscato is so ridiculous that a right wing, libertarian, MRA supporting trans woman and Berns can find a concensus on calling him out.

Where would there be any agreement/concensus?

Both Muscato and Meyer declare themselves women, just because one looks more feminised than the other means nothing. They are both men, and one of the the men is upset with how manly one of the them is. Tis mad....
