Fred Sargeant, a gay man who actually was at Stonewall and is now one of the people involved in LGB ALLIANCE USA, is organizing a toast to Magdalen at 5 PM today, but he didn't say what time zone.

So at 5 PM your time today, or now if 5 PM has come and gone for you, please hoist a glass of something to Magdalen.

RIP Magdalen. We miss you, your intelligent soul, and your wit.

Edit: I almost forgot. I drew a picture of Magdalen in the style of Art Nouveau, holding violets as a symbol of lesbians: https://imgur.com/rX0Zo0C

Post your favorite videos of hers if you have one.

All of them are.

I tried to choose one, but couldn't, and now I find I can't choose words to describe how much I admire her. They are all insufficient.

This ain't a video of her, but is presciently about her: Bikini Kill, Rebel Girl

What a shame that Kathleen Hanna and Tobi Vail have abandoned women to kneel at the altar of trans ideology. Previously, Kathleen had been slammed as transphobic because Le Tigre played twice at Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, which had a "womyn-born womyn" policy. Le Tigre even said they'd been "verbally attacked, endlessly harassed and physically threatened" for playing there.

That is a damn shame. Not doubting you, but I would like to know how they have done so. The last I read about this issue was in 2014 when some idiots dropped a banner at a Julie Ruin show and said afterwards that they did it because they had failed to wring a public apology out of Hanna.

I can't remember what they said that rubbed me the wrong way. I've been Googling and, while I can't find the specific things, I did find this quote from Kathleen: "trans women are part of the feminist movement and they need to be part of the feminist movement if there is going to even be a movement" (http://archermagazine.com.au/2014/01/qa-riot-grrrl-kathleen-hanna-on-sexuality-marriage-and-music/). I'm struggling to find what Tobi has said, but it was to do with how feminist punk music should centre trans women or something like that.

She was a force to be reckoned with. I LOVED her content and she seemed like a neat person. I re-watch her videos quite a bit and have been since I discovered her back in 2016. RIP Magdalen, you will never be forgotten.

RIP. Magdalen's videos are still the best. I miss her a lot.

I never watched her when she was alive but I've watched a couple of her videos today and I can see why so many people looked up to her. RIP Magdalen.

Queen 💜

Too many favorite videos on her channel. I miss her and her awesomeness.

She was brave , strong and very funny. I loved her Cockney accent too. Someone should write a biography ?

Oh...just now found out Magdalen passed away last year...13th September 2019...I was wondering why there were no more videos. :(

I owe her so much. When I was newly out as a lesbian and being pressured and sexually propositioned by males in LGB(TQ) spaces, her videos told me that my homosexuality was okay. I miss her a lot and I’m grateful for how she used her time on earth to uplift women and specifically lesbians.

I bought her name as a domain that same day, and made a website with all her films (which I've now taken down) because I feared they would get removed from Youtube. I'm glad it didn't happen. I'll let go of the domain now.

[–]BEB 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Please keep the domain! You don't want it getting into the hands of haters!

And YouTube is constantly taking down GC content so please keep Magdalen's work safe! Thank you!

[–]Dabitch 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

arite, I renewed the domain and the films are all downloaded somewhere in a folder here in case shit happens. But I won't be putting the site back up, I wanted to hand it to someone who would run it but nobody was interested.

Thank you! I can only imagine what could have happened had the trans demands brigade gotten a hold of a site that could be linked to Magdalen.

Also, YouTube is constantly taking down "hate" content now, so thank you for keeping her videos safe.

I am sure that at some point, as the legend of Magdalen grows, someone will want to administer her site. Thanks again!
