Magdalen Berns Appreciation Thread

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. Flowers

That twitter thread is NOT an update.

It was posted 2 days before the tweet saying she has moved to palliative care.

Please don’t post those kind of rumours here. I appreciate that you don’t mean any harm. However, we shouldn’t spread those kind of rumours.

Watching Magdalen's videos gave me courage to be more outspoken too - so funny, direct, not taking any shit.

Magdalen - I hope you know how much positive change you've created in the world.

The UK is currently one of the world leaders in standing up for women's rights against the onslaught of trans activism.

I genuinely don't think we'd all be where we are now without Magdalen.

She has given so many of us the courage to speak the truth.

You are a fucken hero Magdalen and will go down in history as one who loudly proclaimed the emperor has no clothes, with zero shits given.

As with so many women, Magdalen's videos were one of the first things I came across in my understanding of gender.
Amazing woman.

I hope that someone is reading all the messages of love and appreciation of Magdalen that are all over social media to her.

Thank you so much Magdalen, for your intelligence, humour, courage and just downright wonderfulness. You have helped so many people to understand and find words for what is going so badly wrong for women.

You have made a huge impact on the world, which will not go away.

Thank you Magdalen, for everything. You are an amazing woman who has done amazing things and I am so grateful, always. Flowers

OhHolyJesus · 27/08/2019 19:32

Magdalen, you are a legend. It's hard to find the words to celebrate you, as MNers have said how important it is to shine sunlight on these issues, you are that sunlight, making us laugh and showing us the obvious truth and giving us strength to keep telling that truth.

Smart, witty, straight talking.

"Receipts please?!"

You marked a milestone for me, thank you so much, safe onwards journey. You are loved.

AlwaysTawnyOwl · 28/08/2019 15:57

Magdalen, I only know you from your videos which are awesome. So funny and insightful - they make the sharpest of points. Thank you for all you have done for women, your contribution is huge. Xxx
