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

135 replies

Victoriapestis01 · 27/08/2019 09:18

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

'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.

SunsetBeetch · 28/08/2019 06:03

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.)

SophoclesTheFox · 28/08/2019 06:43

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.

Floisme · 28/08/2019 07:16

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.

FormerMediocreMale · 28/08/2019 07:33

OhHoly

I got a response from my email via eventbrite.

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

JessicaWakefieldSV · 28/08/2019 07:35

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

FormerMediocreMale · 28/08/2019 07:35

I tried not to go low and suggested FPFW be at the event for counter arguements.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 28/08/2019 07:39

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

I've been in contact with several of their sponsors. More than one has been very careful to point out that their items are not given free of charge, they are discounted (a common scheme, not exclusive to RM).

So "sponsorship" is a very loose term for the goods RM uses.

Floisme · 28/08/2019 07:40

I wasn't referring to the doxxing Jessica - the thread wasn't about that. I agree doxxing is a different matter.

And I don't see it as being about going high / behaving nicely. I think it's about being consistent.

Anyway I've said my piece and I don't want to add any further to Mckinnon's self publicity so I'm done.

JustTurtlesAllTheWayDown · 28/08/2019 08:03

I'd like to see McKinnon come to the UK.
I dont think no platforming does much good. That's their tactic. The more sunlight the better.

CharlieParley · 28/08/2019 08:26

Floisme I agree. The cheat shouldn't be given any more oxygen. However vile that narcissistic male swine is. I've got nothing against Dr Moody's letter, I understand the motivation, but this is all just supply to that wanker.

Right? McKinnon is so fucking awful he can make Haddock look like he has a heart. Now THAT'S impressive. Fuck all these ghouls.

Kazooboohoo · 28/08/2019 13:30

McKinnon's attitude seems to be, 'TERFs' are so appalling, anything they get up to and including gloating over death is fully deserved and entirely their fault. You drove me to do it.

It isn't only McKinnon who engages in this nowadays; define someone as beyond the pale, do as you please towards them, claim they made you do it.

Of course, if that person or thing isn't genuinely beyond the pale, then the whole edifice comes crashing down. What is really happening is making excuses to be vile to those you disagree with.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 28/08/2019 13:33

You drove me to do it.

Hmmm, where have I heard that sort of rationale before....

"If you stop struggling I won't have to hurt you"

Michelleoftheresistance · 28/08/2019 14:04

Yup.

I don't like it/makes me uncomfortable/challenges me = transphobia

transphobia = evil, officially rejected so anything is justified in response, all normal moral/legal boundaries null and void

= I can behave any way I like and feel wholly morally justified.

Anyone challenging this = transphobia

= (repeat above cycle)

The Diabolical Narcissist’s Prayer

That didn’t happen.
And if it did happen, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was that bad, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is a big deal, that’s not my fault.
And if it was my fault, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did mean it…
You deserved it.
Amen.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 28/08/2019 15:20

Hang on - so you can’t say ‘women hate us boo hoo’ With little evidence - then on the same breath threaten to punch/burn/dox etc people who question you or don’t agree with you and they are the bullies?

It’s like Lord of the Flies, and I’m Piggy.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

P.S. I've seen an e-mail saying that ticket numbers for McKinnon's talk were "embarrassingly low" and that How To: Academy has actually received more objections to McKinnon's talk than tickets sold. On that basis, it has been CANCELLED. t.co/G7O8PUYX2M

testing987654321 · 31/08/2019 10:48

That's actually a shame. Him talking to a more or less empty room would have had entertainment value. Now he'll be able to be all matyrish "the evil terfs shut me down".
