Just at trigger warning that there are some graphic details in this article.

This is terrifying news for women in Ireland.
Barbie spent time in the female prison and was eventually moved after making threats to rape, torture and murder female inmates and prison officers.

In other news Ireland is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Self ID this week.
Barbie Kardashian is legally a woman in Ireland and cannot be legally refused access to female spaces.

His claims that he holds no threat towards anyone but his parents wears very thin when he talks about the prison staff he is still angry with, and threatening to kill, and then mentions the woman who complained that he left the shower dirty who he threatened to rape with an object ( the rational being that women rape other women with objects so he would use that not his penis). Clearly anyone who threatens his fragile sense of self is in danger of violent retaliation because his understanding of appropriate behaviour is so out of synch. He is extremely dangerous because he knows no limits and has no ability to regulate his own responses to other people.

I posted about BK's release over on Craicnet, because it's women in Ireland who are in the firing line if BK decides to act out his violent fantasies.

I'm puzzled because the reaction has been... muted, I think is the best word.
There are 16 posts. One page. Obviously all of them are horrified at his release. But I detect not much sense of concern or urgency - though somebody did worry about Paddy O'Gorman's dog.

I'm very concerned, and hope that he is deemed to have broken the terms of his release [on licence, I think it was] and back under lock and key ASAP.
Though I do feel sorry for the prison service having to deal with him again.

I don’t think he would commit an offence in any country where he would automatically be housed in a male prison. So , phew, I think the UK is a BK safe zone. For now.

Thiugh in principle I agree with you that ease of travel for convicted offenders is a worry. There should be some offences for which freedom of movement is curtailed, though how this would be monitored is another issue.

"I hope his mental health slips so that allows him to be sectioned."

I don't understand why he isn't sectioned now - is anyone able to explain this?

He went to court 5 years ago and proved he was legally sane.

As he is legally sane he cant be sectioned. The judge basically agreed that he did want and planned to stab his mother to death and rape her however criminal thoughts or action are not proof of insanity nor a reason for him to be sectioned.

He may have / could have a personality disorder rather than a mental health type disorder which can be managed medically

The judge took care in looking at all the evidence and accepted that he had the legal capacity and ability to form criminal intent.

She recomended that the Gardai investigate the witness statements which led to the prison term.

The High Court case pdf and link was posted on MN at the time

Graham & Paddy discussing Paddys interview and additional context... very interesting

He was held in a men's prison in Ireland before he was released, and would be put back in a men's prison if he offends again in Ireland.

Let's hope that whatever country he ends up in, the fact that he is unlikely to be sent to a women's prison will act as a brake on his offending.

But how logical is he? He has been declared sane enough to be criminally liable, but that doesn't mean much when it comes to his behaviour.

Barbie is back in the news.

"'I want to be like Bonnie Blue' - Barbie Kardashian faces homelessness after porn and prostitution eviction."

That links to an archived nittter thread about the Dutch girl who murdered her parents

Apologies, my C&P failed after I had added that link to a different thread.

Hopefully, this is the correct archive for Barbie's interview.

Oh my god. I know people can wear what they want but... What the fuck?!?

I pity whoever next ends up with him as their neighbour. And as for the men willingly paying to have sex with BK, Wow! Just WOW!

It's certainly an insight into his view of women.

"“The reason why I was doing the porn and prostitution was because I wanted to be objectified sexually.
“I wanted to be viewed as a whore and as a slut by the entire Irish society basically. It’s my aspiration to be like Bonnie Blue,” she said."

I'm not convinced that it was necessary for the report to basically post his address. He's mad and dangerous (those fingernails are like the ones he used rip his social worker's eyelid off with) but he is also vulnerable. Horrible story all round.

What are those things on his chest - water balloons?

They're probably the same style of giant, silicon fake tits worn by that academic in Oxford.

He really has no filter, does he.

He is very worried about being homeless because he has 'no family or anything like that' 🙄
Can you imagine the sort of men that were going in and out of his house?

"Ruhama, an Irish NGO and registered charity which says it offers support for women impacted by prostitution aided Kardashian in attempting to appeal the council decision."

Glad to see Irish taxes used well for supporting women. Ruhama say they are "the only specialist, frontline NGO in Ireland working specifically to support women, including transgender women". I wonder if they ever thought they'd be spending their days on this one.

It took to the penultimate paragraph of that article, merrily she-ing and her-ing al the way, to state clearly that BK was born male.

I'm really shocked that Ruhama includes transwomen as 'women'.

It is sometimes dismissed as a prudish anti-sex arm of the Catholic church, because as far as I know it grew out of a Catholic-origin social outreach group in the 1980s, and it is anti-prostitution.

I've always considered it one of the few women's groups that was resolutely by and for women.

Given that they support very marginalised women - e.g. trafficked sex workers, - the idea that they don't give them a women-only service is disappointing.

Obviously marginalised, trafficked transgender sex workers deserve support too - what a shame the trans community doesn't divert some of their energy into helping them.

I'm surprised that Rumana submitted something to the council who were trying to evict Barbie K. I can only surmise that they are responding to the fact that he is a deeply damaged man, who needs - even if we don't feel he deserves - support. Or that he'd be even more dangerous with no fixed abode. Or that it would be legal discrimination if they didn't. Who knows..

Depriving someone of their liberty because they are a danger to themselves and/or to other rightly has a very high bar, but Barbie Kardashian has been violent, has threatened horrific acts of violence, he looks like that, he acts like that, he has been a victim of violence himself..

What will it take?
