Clara Sorrenti (born March 25, 1994),[1] better known as Keffals, is a Canadian former[2] Twitch streamer, transgender activist, left-wing political commentator and former candidate of the Communist Party of Canada.
When growing up, Sorrenti played video games such as Team Fortress 2 and Garry's Mod using the online handle "Keffals".
[3] She entered Canadian politics following the 2016 election of Donald Trump in the United States,[4] running for two races in 2018 and 2019 as a member of the Communist Party of Canada.
[18][19] 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 2021 and 2022.
Speaking on an Alabama law making it a felony to provide gender-affirming care for those under 18, Sorrenti said, "They literally want these kids to fucking kill themselves.
[4] A month later, she called attention to a VOD of a 16-year-old trans Twitch streamer who was taken into foster care after police conducted a wellness check.
[23][24][25] She has also criticized Florida's Parental Rights in Education act and the false claim shared by online figures such as Infowars and United States Congressman Paul Gosar that the Uvalde shooter was transgender on stream.
"[4][26] In July 2022 her Twitch account was suspended for 28 days (reduced to 14) for "repeated hateful slurs or symbols" that featured on her stream thumbnail.
Sorrenti is also known for "ratioing" Twitter personalities,[28] and has been in online disputes with former Twitch streamer Destiny, as well other public figures, including Tim Pool, Candace Owens, Lauren Southern, and J. K.
[29][30] In February 2023 Sorrenti announced on Twitter she would be taking a career break to enter rehab, stating that she had become addicted to narcotics in the preceding months.
[49][50] On September 3, 2022, pressure on Cloudflare in response to the harassment campaign resulted in the company terminating services to the Kiwi Farms website,[51] as the firm considered the forum activity to be increasingly dangerous.
[53][54] On September 6, 2022, The Daily Dot confirmed that VanwaTech was providing content delivery network services to Kiwi Farms, hence bringing it back online.
