are they like "ken is trans now and that's ok, please call her kenja?"
Apparently when they leave Barbie land, Barbie discovers the horrors of sexism while Ken discovers the patriarchy, which he thinks is awesome and brings back to the Barbie land where the Kens then take over.
It sounds pretty on the nose but I also haven't seen the movie and I sort of expect that someone of Gerwig's and Baumbach's caliber would tell this with a bit more nuance. Also everyone still seems to love Ken despite is supposed heel turn.
