索倫蒂是一名跨性別女性,在青少年時期開始性別轉換。在美國德克薩斯州州長格雷格·阿博特於2022年2月要求州政府機構將任何提供給跨性別青少年的性別肯定醫療服務(例如青春期阻滯劑和激素替代療法)都視作虐待兒童之後,她開始積極參與跨性別權益運動[5][6][7]。她在Twitch直播中分享評論自己身為一名跨性別女性的經歷,還在她的節目中邀請過切爾西·曼寧等人[3]。
索倫蒂在2022年開始受到許多騷擾;這些騷擾主要來自於網絡論壇Kiwi Farms[8]。她在網上遭到惡意棄名錯稱,還有騷擾者故意多次假報警,以致警察多次上門盤查,甚至破門而入,使她在槍口下被警察拘捕。就此她呼籲各大DDos保護提供商停止為Kiwi Farms提供服務,並於2022年9月3日成功促使Cloudflare終止Kiwi Farms的服務,使Kiwi Farms需更換網路供應商。
早年生活
索倫蒂自小起便使用「Keffals」這個網名玩《軍團要塞2》和《蓋瑞模組》等電子遊戲[3]。她在12歲時意識到自己是跨性別者。2013年她18歲時在父母的陪伴下前往泰國接受性別肯定手術[3]。她大學就讀於西安大略大學[9]。
職業生涯
索倫蒂是一名跨性別權益運動人士。她經常其跨性別身份而遭到騷擾[10][11][12]。
政治生涯(2018年至2019年)
索倫蒂曾為加拿大新民主黨做過志願者[2]。2016年唐納德·特朗普當選美國總統後,她進入加拿大政界並作為加拿大共產黨黨員參加了2018年安大略省大選和2019年加拿大聯邦大選,但兩次競選都失敗了[3][13][14][12]。在這期間,她是加拿大共產主義青年團安大略省倫敦分會的組織者[15][16]。

網絡生涯(2020年至今)
索倫蒂最初在Twitch上直播玩電子遊戲,但在2021至2022年間美國各州立法機構推出一波反跨性別法案後,她轉而開始直播政治評論。2022年2月,美國德克薩斯州州長格雷格·阿博特要求德克薩斯州政府機構將所有提供給未成年人的性別肯定療法(例如青春期阻滯劑和激素替代療法)都視作虐待兒童。對此她公開表示反對。同年4月,阿拉巴馬州一項法案規定為18歲以下的人士提供性別肯定醫療是重罪[20];對此,索倫蒂說:「這些人他媽的根本就是想讓這些(跨性別)孩子自殺。」[3][5][6][7]在4月的一次直播中,她為美國南方LGBTQ+公益組織南方平等運動(英語:Campaign for Southern Equality)籌集了205,000美元的捐款,以幫助和保護跨性別青少年[3]。一個月後,她呼籲關注一名16歲跨性別女孩在Twitch上的直播錄像;這名女孩當時正在家中臥室直播玩《我的世界》,中途突然遭到警察闖入搜查,在此之後又被送入寄養機構[21][22][23]。索倫蒂還在她的直播上批評了佛羅里達州的莫談同性戀法以及尤瓦爾迪小學槍擊案陰謀論。該陰謀論聲稱尤瓦爾迪小學槍擊案的兇手是跨性別者,並被美國極右翼陰謀論網站信息戰和美國共和黨眾議員保羅·戈薩拉所推廣[11]。2022年6月,《華盛頓郵報》記者泰勒·洛倫茲的報道將索倫蒂描述為Twitch平台上的一顆冉冉升起的「新星」[3][24]。洛倫茲寫道,索倫蒂「放棄了該平台傳統的遊戲直播模式,轉而利用這一平台來討論新聞和政治話題」。洛倫茲還稱,索倫蒂的Twitch直播是「為數不多的能讓觀眾由一名跨性別者之口聽到新聞的媒體。」[3][24]
索倫蒂的Twitch賬戶於2022年7月18日被封禁28天(後減至14天)。封禁原因是她的直播封面上出現了「重複性的仇恨語言或符號」。索倫蒂說,這些所謂仇恨語言是她過去所受到的騷擾的截圖而且她是因為「公開談論(她所受到的)辱罵」而遭到封禁。在封禁期間,她轉而到YouTube上直播[11][25]。
索倫蒂於2020年12月開始使用推特,並已在該平台上積累了超過10萬名粉絲。索倫蒂還以「Ratio」其他推特人物而聞名[26]。在英文推特上,若一條推文的回覆表達了與原推相對的觀點並獲得更多贊,則被稱為「ratio」。有時推特用戶會有意在回覆中反對原推的觀點,或者直接回復「ratioed」以期獲得比原推更多的贊來刻意「ratio」對方[27][28][29]。索倫蒂還與蒂姆·浦爾、坎迪斯·歐文斯、勞倫·薩瑟恩、J.K.羅琳等公眾人物以及前Twitch直播主Destiny發生過網絡糾紛[3]。
索倫蒂用Patreon和PayPal等渠道接受粉絲捐款並以此來支持她的直播事業,並用這些錢僱傭了一名編輯和一名圖形設計師[3]。
遭受騷擾
2022年8月5日,有人向安大略省倫敦市議員發送電子郵件,謊稱自己是索倫蒂並意圖殺害她的母親和倫敦市議員,結果索倫蒂遭警察破門而入並被逮捕。該事件導致她的電腦與手機被警察沒收。索倫蒂認為這一事件是仇恨犯罪,並稱倫敦市警察局在逮捕過程中對她棄名錯稱[12][26][30]。據她說,警察與她母親交談時,將索倫蒂性別錯稱為她母親的「兒子」[31][32]。據倫敦市警方的說法,所有對索倫蒂以前名字的使用都是基於她以前與警方的互動記錄,而非故意不尊重她[33]。加拿大廣播公司報道稱,警察部門將重新「審視警察是如何對待(她)的」[34]。在這一由假報警導致的逮捕一周前,多倫多還發生了另一起針對索倫蒂的假報警。索倫蒂稱,由於和多倫多警察局缺乏聯繫,倫敦警察局並不知道早先的這一起假報警[35][36]。這一事件發生後,倫敦警察局起草了關於如何對待跨性別嫌疑人的改革方案[37]。更早先時,她被Kiwi Farms用戶人肉搜索,結果她和她家人的個人信息,包括住址和電話號碼,都被公開發到了Kiwi Farm上。Kiwi Farm是一個專門討論和騷擾網上人物和社區的網絡論壇。該網站用戶還泄露了她的裸露照片並對她發送了死亡威脅。[38][39]
該事件發生後,索倫蒂在加拿大環球電視的採訪中說道:「我不會退縮。我知道我所作的工作是非常有價值的,而且……幾乎每天都有(跨性別者)告訴我說他們因為我而選擇向家人出櫃」[35]。加拿大新民主黨黨魁駔勉誠就此發推評論道「跨性別者,尤其是跨性別權益運動人士,應該有讓自己的聲音被眾人聽到的自由。而不是遭到人肉和假報警騷擾,在警察槍口下遭到逮捕並且反覆棄名錯稱。誰都不應受到這樣的待遇。」[40]
在遭到假報警並被警察錯誤逮捕後,索倫蒂設立了一個GoFundMe眾籌活動,為自己搬家和訴訟提供資金[41][40],並表示她將繼續自己的直播事業[4]。之後,索倫蒂發推稱她的眾籌在遭到大量舉報之後被GoFundMe平台凍結了[42]。儘管如此,她最終還是搬到了一家賓館住。2022年8月17日,這家賓館的位置被人發到Kiwi Farm上,結果這家賓館又被騷擾者用索倫蒂的棄名所點的披薩外賣給淹沒了。索倫蒂認為賓館的位置是在她於自己的Discord伺服器上發布了一張她的貓的照片後被發現的;這張照片無意之中暴露了這家賓館所使用的床單圖案紋路,使網絡騷擾者得以將圖片中的床單和當地賓館的床單一一對照。倫敦市警察局證實他們正在調查此事,同時也在調查另一起人肉未遂事件。在此之後,索倫蒂搬到了一個新的臨時地點,並表示她打算每周搬一次地方,直至她找到永久住所[43][44]。她還說她打算在為Kiwi Farm提供服務的Cloudflare舊金山辦公室外舉辦一次針對Kiwi Farm的抗議活動[45]。
在她的Uber賬戶被黑客入侵,一大堆她沒點的食物又被送到她門前之後,面臨持續不斷的騷擾,索倫蒂宣布她將在一至兩個月內搬離加拿大,到歐洲某處居住[46]。後來她在搬到北愛爾蘭貝爾法斯特之後又遭人肉[47][48]。2022年9月3日,Cloudflare終止了對Kiwi Farms的服務[49]。該網站曾短暫地只能通過洋蔥路由訪問。索倫蒂在9月6日宣布勝利,稱她的運動已成功實現了關閉Kiwi Farms的目標[50][51]。2022年9月6日,The Daily Dot證實一家名為VanwaTech、專為極右翼網站提供服務的科技公司正為Kiwi Farms提供服務,使其得以重新上線[52][53]。
