Just saw this and thought some people here would be interested. It's sad news but it sounds like Magdalen is being well supported.

Wholly inadequate Flowers for Magdalen, her family and friends and a heart felt thank you for your strength, courage and hard work in highlighting the issues of trans ideology and its impact on women's rights.

Flowers for Magdalen, her family and friends. It is so unfair that such an inspiration, wonderful woman should be taken so early.

WrathoSWhlttIeKIop · 21/08/2019 17:37

Magdeline has used her true voice to speak out where others have hidden or have been silenced.

I will be catching up with her videos to remind me how brave she has been.

This is unbearably sad news.

Seeing one of Magdalen's videos for the first time was a revelation - a woman unapologetically saying what she thought of this whole utterly ridiculous situation, like the proverbial long cool drink of reason in the desert of PoMo/Queer Theory/misogynistic/anti-woman bullshit in which we currently find ourselves.

Magdalen, you are fucking magnificent.

BingBongSong · 21/08/2019 17:42

This is devastating news. Please pass on my love and thanks to Magdalen and her family. She has done so much for women.

WrathoSWhlttIeKIop · 21/08/2019 17:42

*Magdalen. Pah!

pombear · 21/08/2019 17:45

forwomenscot have said that if you email (if you're not on Twitter) they'll pass on messages, so that maybe a good way of getting them to Magdalen, in case they don't see this thread.

terryleather what a great description of her videos - a proverbial long cool drink of reason

Whatisthisfuckery · 21/08/2019 17:46

Magdalen, I hope you realise just how many women you have inspired with your courage, your refusal to bow down in the face of the full force of misogyny and your clear and uncompromising words. Thousands of women will pick up the baton and we will keep fighting.

Massive love and respect to you Magdalen. I hope your remaining time is calm and peaceful.

FormerMediocreMale · 21/08/2019 17:47

Such sad news. Bright, funny, engaging and so right, Magdelen has been so incredibly brave.

I look forward to the release of hervideo with the hope it wont be the last.

Flowers and love to Magdelen and family.

“Courage calls to courage everywhere”

Her bravery has lit thousands of fires. I wish her and her family peace.

SusanSmithFWS · 21/08/2019 17:52

Thanks pombear, we'll keep an eye on this thread too if we can, but anyone can DM or email us - esp if you'd like to say something personal.

Thingybob · 21/08/2019 17:53

So sorry to read this.

I'm not sure if Magdalen would be flattered to know this but I have such a crush on her even though Ive been straight all my life (60 years) After watching her videos I was completely bowled over by her intelligence, her wit, her wisdom and her humility.

Thoughts are with her and her family

Ritascornershop · 21/08/2019 17:54

Yes, yes to picking up the baton!! We heard you Magdalen, more people will continue to hear you through your videos. You are such an inspiration.

YouCantBeSirius · 21/08/2019 17:56

Flowers for Magdalen and her family and friends. Such awful news. I have admired Magdalen greatly and followed her YT channel for a few years now.

AppleBlossomTimeNow · 21/08/2019 18:02

Such an incredible woman. So sad. I hope she isn't suffering. I hope she feels proud of her inspirational life & how she used wit & intelligence to inform & empower women.

failingatlife · 21/08/2019 18:05

Just saw this posted on Facebook. So sad. Hope Madeleine is getting all the care and support she needs. I wasn't aware of her 2 yes ago but she has come to be a shero of mine Flowers

MuthaFunka61 · 21/08/2019 18:09

Magdalen has been a beacon for many women,me included, and I'm finding it challenging to express how awful this news is.

Sending Magdalen and those around her peace in this tragically difficult time.

bettybeans · 21/08/2019 18:09

I'm glad she agreed that friends could share her news. There's so much love and respect for her and I'm glad she'll be left in no doubt about her influence, impact and legacy.

2BthatUnnoticed · 21/08/2019 18:10

Magdalen is so smart, funny and brave - a true role model. I felt her love for women through her videos, they made a real impact on me. Although I never met Magdalen, I will never forget her. Please hold her hand and tell her how loved she is. 💜💚

BickerinBrattle · 21/08/2019 18:18

From the US: Thank you, Magdalen, for your courage and wit, for your videos that are our samizdat here. Women WILL win this fight, and we will never forget that you are one of the reasons why.

Flowers and much love to you.

Outofexcuses · 21/08/2019 18:18

She will be remembered by so many people who never met her but owe her so much. A truly brave woman.

NotTerfNorCis · 21/08/2019 18:19

Very sad to hear this. Such a young age too.

CassianAndor · 21/08/2019 18:21

God, what dreadful news.

Flowers for you, Magdalen. You have been such an inspiration.

Namebot · 21/08/2019 18:24

This is completely heartbreaking news. Sharp, witty and funny when articulating a line of argument that really helped me grasp aspects of women’s rights and feminism in the 2010s. So sorry that this is happening.

NotAtMyAge · 21/08/2019 18:27

How devastatingly sad. When my eyes were finally opened to what was happening, Magdalen's videos were so important in making the issues clear to me and I hugely admired her courage, clarity of thought and expression, and sheer intelligence. I shall always be grateful and wish her peace and lack of pain.

sackrifice · 21/08/2019 18:27

This is shit news. Magdalen is such a force of nature, it really sucks that she is so ill.
