I am usually a lurker on this board, and have read a bit here about Magdalen Berns. I found this and it made me feel ill it is so vicious and cruel. mobile.twitter.com/sineadactually/status/1314985057937956864

No wonder so many feminists are too scared to speak out, if this is the resulting hate, even after death....

Fantastic and inspiring example of “be kind” and “do better” there. (Praying hands emoji). I doubt I can achieve such levels of tolerance and acceptance. Blessed be.

Melroses · 11/10/2020 07:20

She was good.

ErrolTheDragon · 11/10/2020 08:30

That's weird, I'm not seeing anyone saying 'be kind'. Confused
Vile.

ChattyLion · 11/10/2020 08:34

She was bloody good yes. Flowers
Also it’s upsetting to see hateful stuff like that, but i’m happy that brilliant Magdalen is still taking up the head space of the dregs of the internet even after her passing.

They can’t stand it because they know so many people are still watching her videos and are still learning from her content and inspired by her fearless approach. So a particular type of arsehole are going to be trying to put a stop to all that, as they always have done. Fuck ‘em.

Thanks to their hatefulness and your thread I remembered Magdalen today by rewatching three videos which have given me useful points for some letters I need to write. So thanks OP. And thanks Magdalen Flowers

Magdalene is something saddo's will never be.

Admired. Liked.

In death, she has achieved something these hateful bigots can only ever hope with all their living breaths and their last dying breaths.

To borrow the language of other contexts, she's akin to a martyr. A saint.

A jolly well beautiful woman who has sparked a flame.

Her detractors are not much compared to her and will mostly not be remembered. History books will not be kind to them. If they are even mentioned.

I suggest anyone not familiar with the extraordinary Magdalen Burns to look up her videos on YouTube.

Much admired.

NotTerfNorCis · 11/10/2020 09:08

The kind of things even moderate TRAs say about Magdalene Berns are extremely vicious and distasteful, and reflect a wider hatefulness directed at all GC feminists.

While that behaviour seems to be the norm among TRAs, it's very rarely seen in feminists. Recently, a TRA died. There was just one nasty comment from someone claiming to be a feminist, which of course was a despicable thing to do- but it was nowhere near the kind of abuse aimed at Magdalene. The TRAs reacted by claiming all GC feminists are the scum of the Earth. It's complete double standards!

They wish it ended with her death. Unfortunately for them it's still going. JKR spoke out partly due to Magdalen. As PP have said, her videos are still out there being watched and learned from. She has helped massively with sunlight on this which I believe had a big impact on the self ID block. So thanks to Magdalen who will forever be a thorn in their side.

KnightsofColumbusThatHurt · 11/10/2020 10:25

So oppressed, so marginalised, so weak and vulnerable and in need of protection from women. Hmm

This just proves that Magdalen's legacy lives on. They hate the fact that JKR referenced her, that people still watch her videos, that even after her death, she is still opening up people's eyes to the misogynistic bullshit. Actually they are continuing her job for her in that respect with these tweets.

These people have huge gaping holes in their lives that they fill with this stuff.

That one tweet from Magdalen is recycled over and over and over again as an 'example of her hatred', Aidan Comerford wheels it out at least once a week as well.

She is still achieving what she set out to achieve, even now Smile

KatVonlabonk · 11/10/2020 10:41

I thought about responding but it's only female attention that person wants. Every day they have to live with themselves, that's punishment enough.

PaulineScrambledPhones · 11/10/2020 11:15

@ChattyLion put it perfectly.

MB’s words and inspiration live on.
Rest in power, Maglalene.

Joisanofthedales · 11/10/2020 14:00

I still watch her videos.

FairFriday · 11/10/2020 15:22

Magdalen is passed all this now - they can’t get to her. It shows how strong her legacy is though.

SunsetBeetch · 11/10/2020 15:26

Sinead is a particularly nasty TRA troll. I feel sorry for them, they are so full of spite they can't really be happy with themselves.

So true
SapphireSeptember · 11/10/2020 15:54

Fuckwits. Magdalen's legacy lives on and she is still loved by many. What have these fools got? A ranty Twitter account that no one will even remember in the long run.

ErrolTheDragon · 11/10/2020 15:56

Of course, by now the Twitter mods should have cleaned that up.... nope. Hmm

Boxty · 11/10/2020 16:19

Archbishop Comerford of Wokeus Dei is particularly obsessed with her I notice.

Branleuse · 11/10/2020 17:25

ah that just made me want to go and watch and share some magalen videos

ErrolTheDragon · 11/10/2020 17:50

How's it going... still inspiring women and causing TRAs to make themselves look really bad, even from beyond the grave.

NRatched · 11/10/2020 18:53

They will never stop the misrepresentation and hate. Yet, thats what 'we' are accused of Hmm I have noticed a trend, of ganging up on anyone who mentions Magdalen and bringing up this blackface quote to make out she was racist, when quite obviously to anyone who can read, it was meant in that way AT ALL.

notyourhandmaid · 11/10/2020 19:44

They keep using that single tweet because it's the only thing they have.

You'd think if transphobia was everywhere it'd be easier to find.

You'd think basic human decency would stop you gloating and celebrating over the death of anyone.

Sad
nancybotwinbloom · 11/10/2020 19:48

Dickheads.

All of them.

I found her quite late and I found her because of these boards and I could listen to her all day.

She was so good at putting her point across.

I loved her voice. She was just amazing to listen to speak.

She was great and it was so unfair what happened to her like it is with a lot of good people.

How can anyone defend that tweet though?
You say "the only tweet they have,"
It doesn't stop it being said, however much it's minimised.
It's beyond me how people can be OK with it.

It's a rude tweet from a woman who does not believe that men can become women, who believes that men dressing as women is a fetish (do you believe that that doesn't exist as a fetish?), who believes that women's oppression is not something that can or should be appropriated by men, and who compares men putting on 'womanhood' like it's a costume to white people wearing black face.

There is nothing threatening in the tweet, she doesn't call for anyone to be raped, to die, to choke, to be punched etc. She is not inciting violence.

No, I don't particularly think it's an OK thing to write, it's very harsh and rude, but it comes from a woman who was fucking sick of seeing the oppression of her sex appropriated by males. She didn't always go high, but JKR always does, and look at the shit that she gets, so what is the point anyway?

And, as we keep saying, it's the only example of 'transphobia' that these people can find out of the 17,000 tweets that are still available for all to see on Magdalen's twitter. If she was really hateful, there would be loads of examples wouldn't there? I cringe every time they roll it out, not because of the tweet itself particularly, but because its always the same one!
