A shining light of a woman has gone. We'll miss her

Very sad news, far too young, an amazing woman. I hope it is some comfort to her family and friends that they know how highly many, many women thought of Magdalen.

Rest in power, sister.

She told us to be brave.

I will try to be more brave like Magdalen

RIP Magdalen.
Even though it was expected, I was so sad to read this news this morning. I'm glad we were able to send her messages in the last few weeks and that she knew the difference she had made to so many. She was fearless and funny and smart, and it's tragic that she's no longer here.

She was a star that shone so brightly. Her light will live on in all of us.

Much love to those that knew her. She will never be forgotten ♥️

I'm very sad to see this. She had such a positive impact in such a short life. Thinking of her friends and family at this time

Sad to hear this. She was a one in a million. Much shorter life than she deserved.

I've been checking for this news several times a day for a while now. It was clearly imminent, but however much you're braced for such news it's still hard to accept.

She was an amazing woman. A star in the feminist heavens. I shall make myself do things that scare me in memory of Magdalen fucking Berns. She's left an impressive legacy for one so young.

for her friends and family. this is very sad news

Gone but never to be forgotten.

RIP Magdalen x

An extraordinary women needed in extraordinary times.

Such an inspiration. She changed my life. My thoughts are with her family, they must be so damn proud of her.
Love you Magdalen.

What an amazing woman. In a world where many privileged women are pressuring the rest of us to “be nice,” and put ourselves last... Magdalen put girls and women, including lesbians, first. Thank you Magdalen, and love to your family and friends 💚💜

Poor Magdalen. Life is cruel.

I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. Sending love to Magdalen's family at this terrible time.

Some nice tributes to her on Twitter. We must honour her memory by redoubling our efforts to protect women's and girls' rights to single-sex spaces.

RIP

RIP from Australia. You gave me such courage, humour and inspiration and you always will.

I can't normally cry but I shed some tears over this news. I am so sorry, to all those who knew and loved her, for your loss.

I was raised an atheist so I don't have a holy book to look for comfort in at times like these. So I turn to other books.

"No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away [...] The span of someone’s life is only the core of their actual existence."

Magdalen's ripples will last a long, long time. My thoughts are with those who knew and loved her. We will never stop agitating the waters, lest her ripples fade away.

I knew Magdalen when I lived in Edinburgh, I feel so lucky to have known her. She brightened my day every time I got to see her. She was an awesome force and so interested and knowledgeable in so many areas; physics, fitness, boxing, Scottish independence, to name but a few.... I'll miss her and smile every time I think of her.

Such a huge lost to feminism, a strident, forceful advicate for lesbians in a time their right to self determine their sexuality is under such pressure and manipulation.

She will be missed by so many x

So sorry to her family & friends.

Terribly sad news despite everyone knowing it was coming.
My deepest condolences to her family and friends at this awful time
