I went to this school, and I know what this thing is with the Jems.
You see, Barbie's boyfriend, Ken, was actually born Kendra. She lived life as a girl up through her freshman year in college. She was a Jem before realizing that she was really supposed to be a he, at which point she had reconstructive surgery (and, from what I hear, the doctors did a really bad job) and took up the name Ken. The Jems know the real story behind Barbie's boyfriend, and Barbie absolutely should be concerned with how their knowledge might affect their perception of her.
