Sorrenti began streaming on Twitch playing video games, but switched to politics after a wave of anti-trans legislation was introduced in state legislatures in 20. During that time, she was the organizer for the Young Communist League's London, Ontario chapter. She ran in the 2018 Ontario general election and the 2019 Canadian federal election, but lost both races.
She entered Canadian politics following the 2016 election of Donald Trump in the United States, running for two races in 20 as a member of the Communist Party of Canada. Įarly in her life Sorrenti volunteered with the New Democratic Party. She has stated that she receives frequent harassment for being a trans person. Sorrenti is an advocate for the rights of transgender people. Political career and activism (2018–2019) She attended the University of Western Ontario. In 2013, when she was 18, she traveled to Thailand with her parents to receive gender-affirming surgery. By the age of 12, she realized that she was transgender. When growing up, Sorrenti played video games such as Team Fortress 2 and Garry's Mod using the online handle "Keffals". In 2022, Sorrenti became the subject of a loosely-organized harassment campaign, primarily from Kiwi Farms, with internet trolls using her deadname while filing false police reports, pizza bombing her residence, and organizing a number of swattings. She has commentated on her experiences as a trans woman and has hosted people such as Chelsea Manning on her stream. Sorrenti, who transitioned as a teenager, began engaging in transgender activism after Texas Governor Greg Abbott instructed Texas state agencies to treat gender-affirming medical treatments (such as puberty blockers or hormone treatments) for transgender youths as child abuse. She has since ended her affiliation with the Communist Party. I can work with him on figuring that out but I can’t keep a wedding timeline with that.Clara Sorrenti (born March 25, 1994), better known as Keffals, is a Canadian Twitch streamer, transgender activist, left-wing political commentator and former candidate of the Communist Party of Canada. We are pretty early into wedding planning and I want to call it off because weddings are expensive and I’m not sinking more of my money into an uncertainty.įiguring out whether he wants to get married will take time and time is money. That’s where his lack of enthusiasm comes from. The joke made me realize that he probably doesn’t want to get married. I let it go after I felt like I was nagging him to have an opinion on something
He said he doesn’t care about the details at all. I don’t even need him to have initiative but an opinion would be nice. AITAH?Įdit: I’ve talked with him about his lack of enthusiasm about anything. He said it was normal to joke about this. He was very upset that I called off the wedding and said he was just joking. We haven’t sent out RSVPs or booked too many vendors yet so I want to call it off before it becomes an even more expensive mistake. I talked to my fiancé and said that I’m going to call off the wedding plans and we could re-evaluate if he really wants to get married or even stay in this relationship. He wasn’t interested in getting married and I don’t want to marry someone who doesn’t enthusiastically want to get married. I decided we should call off the wedding for now. I felt really upset that he didn’t acknowledge my hard work in planning the wedding and because he joked that I was trapping him into marriage and that I pushed him into getting married. He said he was trying to enjoy his last days of freedom before I trapped him in the marriage. My fiancé joked that he didn’t lock me down, I locked him up. I was telling them some of my plans to cut costs down and my friend made a joke that it was a good thing my fiance locked me down because I’m a professional. My fiancé and our friends were talking about the wedding. His default response is “whatever you want.” So, I’ve had full creative freedom but I am a little sad he didn’t contribute to anything, even the color scheme. My fiance has ADHD and finds planning very boring. I work in the events industry and this sort of thing is my passion.
It was a beautiful intimate proposal and I loved the idea of telling our future kids about his proposal.
