Isabel Rosa Araujo (formerly known as Philip Vincent Haskins-Delici), a trans Antifa leader in Portland, Ore., is organizing a direct action to try and shut down British women's rights activist Kellie-Jay Keen on her speaking visit to Oregon on Oct. 25.
Keen says trans women are men and went viral earlier this year after protesting trans swimmer Lia Thomas at a women's competition in Atlanta.
Araujo is currently raising money for weapons for Antifa including a knife, pepper spray and a baton using CashApp and Venmo. Those fundraising platforms are popular with Antifa as they allow them to share usernames among their networks to raise cash easily and quickly. Araujo has previously tried to stalk me and threatened to harm me if I was found.
In response, Kellie-Jay Keen, who is currently on a speaking tour in the U.S. released a statement to me: "We know violent misogynist men get very angry when women say no. It may surprise them to know we won’t stop saying no, we will continue to withhold our consent to the theft of our rights and butchering of healthy children’s bodies. Until it stops, we won’t stop. We are making a documentary about this USA tour which will show the incredible fightback women throughout the country are forging to stop the erasure of women’s rights, spaces and language. American women have been ignored for such a long time and have suffered terrible losses."
She asked for those who want to support the documentary and security costs to visit her website.
