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. She spoke out against Texas Governor Greg Abbott when he instructed Texas state agencies to treat gender-affirming medical treatments, such as puberty blockers or hormone treatments, for transgender youths as child abuse. 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." 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. Lorenz described Sorrenti as "part of a new class of stars who have abandoned the platform's traditional game-stream format to talk about news and politics" and described her Twitch stream as "one of the few media outlets where viewers can hear the news from a trans person." Sorrenti joined Twitter in December 2020, and amassed over 100,000 followers on the platform. Sorrenti is also known for "ratioing" Twitter personalities, 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. In July 2024 Sorrenti announced she was retiring from streaming. In March 2025, Sorrenti announced on Bluesky that she is returning to streaming, but will not be returning to social media. == As a target of harassment ==

August 2022 swatting incident On August 5, 2022, Sorrenti was swatted and arrested after an email was sent to members of the London, Ontario city council claiming to be Sorrenti with an intent to kill her mother and members of the London City Council. The incident, that she believes to be a hate crime, led to computers and phones being confiscated by police. She said the London Police Service had used her deadname during the arrest, as well as in the wellness check on her mother. Sorrenti claimed the police, talking to Sorrenti's mother, misgendered Sorrenti by referring to her as her mother's "son". According to the London police, any use of Sorrenti's former legal name was based on records of prior interactions with the police and not deliberate disrespect. CBC News reported that the chief of the police department said he would review how she was treated by officers. The swatting came after another earlier attempt had taken place through the Toronto Police Service; according to Sorrenti, the London Police Service was not aware of this previous attempt due to lack of correspondence with the Toronto Police Service. The London Police Service drafted reforms for its treatment of transgender suspects after the incident. Following the incident, Sorrenti told Global News that "I'm not backing down. I know that the work I do is incredibly valuable, and... I have [trans] people almost every day saying they came out to their families because of me". Conflict with Kiwi Farms Following the swatting, Sorrenti also set up a GoFundMe fundraiser with the aim of funding a move and a lawsuit, and said that she aimed to continue to stream. Sorrenti later tweeted that the GoFundMe had its funds frozen after being mass reported. Nonetheless, she was subsequently able to move to a hotel. On August 17, 2022, the location of the hotel was posted online and the hotel was inundated with pizza deliveries made by trolls using Sorrenti's deadname. Sorrenti believes that the location of the hotel was discovered after she had posted a picture on her Discord server that inadvertently revealed the patterned bedsheets used by the hotel, allowing internet trolls to cross-reference the sheets with those in local hotels. Sorrenti blamed Kiwi Farms for the swatting attempts. Following continued harassment, Sorrenti announced that she would be leaving Canada and moving to an undisclosed location in Europe. She was once again doxxed after relocating to Belfast, Northern Ireland. On September 3, 2022, pressure on Cloudflare in response to the harassment campaign resulted in the company terminating services to the Kiwi Farms website, as the firm considered the forum activity to be increasingly dangerous. The site was briefly accessible only through Tor. Sorrenti declared victory on September 5, saying the campaign had more than succeeded in its aim to shut Kiwi Farms down. On September 6, 2022, The Daily Dot confirmed that VanwaTech was providing content delivery network services to Kiwi Farms, hence bringing it back online. == Electoral results ==
