Barbie Kardashian, a biological male who’s had no hormone treatment or surgery, and has sworn to kill and rape women, has been placed in a women’s prison by the Irish authorities.

Barbie was arrested in Limerick on the 24th of September for threatening to kill two people, one of them her mother. The story of her arrest became a matter of national media attention after it was revealed that Barbie is a transgender woman, and that her solicitor had told a court that, following her arrest, Barbie was “very anxious she be detained in a prison facility for females.” Her solicitor did not mention that Barbie also has a well-known, and often stated, desire to rape, torture, abuse, and kill women.

A High Court order directing media not to mention her status as a transgender woman only ensured that, Barbie’s gender, and the access that might give her to vulnerable women, was going to become the focal point of the story.

Legally, Barbie is a woman, although it is not clear when she formally changed her gender through a gender recognition certificate. It’s not a procedure that takes much time; under Irish law all you need is to make a declaration that you want to live your life as a particular gender, a birth certificate, and proof of address – it requires about the same amount of effort as opening a bank account. The process used to be more involved and require the involvement of doctors and experts, but that was changed in 2015 with the introduction of the Gender Recognition Act which allowed individuals to merely “self-identify” as a particular gender.

Barbie is understood to have undergone no hormonal or surgical intervention to change her body, but merely “self identifies” as a woman. Clinicians have expressed doubt that Barbie suffers from gender dysphoria at all.
