Lilly Wachowski, one-half of the sibling filmmaker duo best known for their Matrix trilogy, has come out as a transgender woman in an essay published in the Windy City Times, a Chicago LGBT newspaper.
The 48-year-old Wachowski, whose older sister Lana is also transgender, wrote that for the last year, media outlets have been indicating that they would break the news of her transition from Andy to Lilly — a prospect, she writes, that brought “dread and/or eye rolling exasperation.” She finally decided to come out herself after a reporter from the Daily Mail arrived on her doorstep, trying to coerce her into sharing her story.

“transition from Andy to Lilly”
I know it’s three lines in, but isn’t it un-PC to mention that he used to be “Andy”? It spoils the make-believe.

They are more of a freak show than their movies.

He is not a woman... he is a man that is a cross-dresser. He is still a “he”, will always be a “he”, it is improper to call him a “she” no matter how he dresses.

Truth in advertising: "transgender woman" means a cross-dressing male.

Fitting that the movie series is about alternate realities.

The Matrix series is one of the most thought-provoking and challenging film trilogies ever.
I'll never watch it again.
Lord willing that I have children I won't be showing it to them either...
Larry Wachowski isn't a woman. Neither is his brother Andy. They are two siblings who have chosen to self-mutilate themselves.
If they can't be confident about their own gender, how can we be expect them to be confident about their own films?
To: Berlin_Freeper
So...they who used to be the Wachowski Brothers are now the Wachowski Sisters?
To: Berlin_Freeper
Gee what a shock. Mixing up reality and fantasy.
