Who sadly died two years ago.

Much missed Thanks

And would be delighted with certain threads on stonewall at the moment!

Rest in Power we won’t forget you.

She was fantastic

"Fucking stonewall 'acceptance without exception,' your minds are so open your brains have fallen out."

She was wonderful.

This was the first video I saw along with this one:

The first time I head the absolute bonkers drivel being spouted by TRAs.

Rest in peace Magdalen. You opened my eyes so wide!

OvaHere · 13/09/2021 16:27

Gosh, two years already. So much has happened in that time.

To Magdalen's friends and family Flowers

Miss her, so sharp.

"I'd rather be rude than a fucking liar."

A statement that is extraordinarily empowering to women shackled by their social conditioning.

RIP Brave one. When I first became aware of this issue a young man pointed me to Magdalen Bern. Unknown to me she had already passed on - or was just about to. It was her dissection of a Riley J Dennis YouTube that peaked me. So strong , wise and fearless. Nobody will fill those boots. But we will try. X

RIP Magdalen. Never forgotten.

I love her videos, it's hard to think of her in past tense when I didn't know of her until after her death. She's so relevant still right now, still gaining new followers.
I ordered the book 1984 this week on her recommendation.
My fave quote video

'Of course it terrifies you Alex, they chop your cock off' is my favourite Magdalen Berns quote ever! 😂

TatoAndBeans · 13/09/2021 19:32

Rest in peace you amazing human. Thank you for being a voice of reason Flowers

I have that quote on a t-shirt and every time somebody asks me about it I peak somebody. Rest in Power Magdalen you star.
TheHouseIsOnFire · 13/09/2021 19:44

I was thinking it would make a good t shirt!! You beat me to it.

I love that she recommended 1984 too. I’ve just reread it and it’s scary how accurately he depicted it - it used to be a dystopian fiction, now it seems life mimics art.

TheHouseIsOnFire · 13/09/2021 19:44

RIP MB. Total legend. Flowers

Blackopal · 13/09/2021 19:44

Two years already? Wow.
An incredible woman.

Loved that and I often think it Grin

I loved that she was so straight to the point. I can't believe its been two years.

RIP Magdalen Flowers

Outbutnotoutout · 13/09/2021 19:53

She was my peak

Eyesofdisarray · 13/09/2021 20:01

I haven't seen that video @Anotheruser02 - brilliant!!!
RIP Magdalen- what a woman 👍

IWantT0BreakFree · 13/09/2021 20:05

She was an incredible woman. So brave, so smart, so articulate, so tenacious. And bloody funny to boot.

ChattyLion · 13/09/2021 20:21

She was so inspiring. What an awesome woman. Such a loss as a public figure. Condolences to her family and friends who must miss her terribly.

JackieQueen · 13/09/2021 20:42

RIP Magdalen, you were mesmerising to watchStar

littlbrowndog · 13/09/2021 20:46

Oh there you are

Missing her

storminasnowglobe · 13/09/2021 21:04

Remembering Magdalen Thanks

I still watch her videos with awe, she had a massive impact on me and my life. I wish I could have met her. A truly outstanding woman.

FloralBunting · 13/09/2021 21:31

I sat with my formerly trans IDing daughter watching a couple of Magdalen videos. It was a special moment to hear her laughing delightedly at the dry humour and nodding emphatically at so many of the crystal clear points, when a few years ago she was wanting to bind her breasts and disappear into a trans identity.

In so many, many ways, I wouldn't be where I am now were it not for Magdalen, and in dark moments, I wonder if I would have been more content with the life I had if I had kept my head down. But then I hear my daughter laughing, and I am quite sure that whatever else the future holds, being brave is always worth it.

We're fighting, Magdalen. Sleep well. We've got this.
