You might be familiar with feminist activist Kellie Jay Keen. She’s the British heckler you hear in the many viral videos surrounding the NCAA final swimming competition where trans athlete Will Thomas (also known as Lia Thomas) destroys the hopes and dreams of young girls hoping to go pro.
Keen can be seen in the video below asking a man, who claims to be trans, not to use the women’s facilities. The man, currently identifies as a ‘mother’ but according to reports, has changed his sexual identity several times over the years. That was after living 50 years as a man and fathering children of his own.
Keen is the founder of Standing for Women. “This campaign is to focus specifically on the word woman and other female languages that clearly defines women and our rights,” the group’s website reads. “The purpose of this campaign is to raise funds for promoting the fight back to this global assault of women.”
“On the basis of the comfort and dignity of girls and women, I’m asking you — telling you, please do not use women’s spaces,” Keen told the transgender activist. “It makes them feel uncomfortable.”
“My girls and the other women I am with, are very comfortable with me in the bathroom and the locker room,” the transgender activist responded.
“Fortunately,” Keen replied, “I am not your daughter and my daughter is not your daughter … she would feel very uncomfortable.”
“I am not here for a debate … I would ask you to please call off your dog,” the activist said, sparking anger from those in the area.
“I beg your pardon,” Keen sharply responded.
“I’m asking you as a mother: do not use female spaces, it makes women and girls feel very uncomfortable,” the feminist added.
“As a mother, I am very —,” the transgender activist said.
“How dare you, you are not a mother,” Keen interjected.
“You never birthed your children, you are not a mother,” another woman yelled.

Early during the competition, Keen can be heard shouting down to Thomas as he interviewed for ESPN after taking first in the freestyle race. Keen shouted ‘he’s a man!’ during Thomas’s interview and the cameras absolutely caught it.
