How is the Matrix pro-trans? Looks it up
TIL it is now the Wachowski sisters who made the Matrix films.
Also in the 90s estrogen pills that were used by trans people were red.
Also the animatrix had a scene where a robot is being murdered as she asserts that she’s a woman.
There was also supposed to be a character who was a different gender in the matrix vs out, but it didn't make it to the final movie
Iirc it was going to be the "not like this" girl
Her name: Switch
Name checks out.
Their TV show Sense8 is also really great progressive sci-fi.
Sense8 is the best thing they've made since The Matrix.
The Matrix is a full on trans allegory. I can recommend Tilly Bridgers "Begin Transmission" book if you want to know more.
There's a lot of other things going on in The Matrix, but I agree that trans allegories are one of them. They really should have been allowed their original concept for the character Switch.
Also the thing is just steeped in trans metaphor. Consider the agents deadnaming Neo throughout as "Mister Anderson" Ander being intended as the same word part as Androgens, Androgyny or Misandry... Mister Ander Son. The system keeps reinforcing his identity as Man man man.
Go listen back through Morpheus's speech just before he offers a red and blue pill (back in the 90's horomone treatments for trans women came in the form of little red pills)... It's a sci-fi parable for gender roles and dysphoria. Of being forced into a system where oppression isn't seen or heard or touched because almost nobody recognizes it. Only some nebulous but insistant feeling causes you to want to break free, to explore yourself.
And once you break free you no longer have the protection from the system. The system sees you as a threat. You must accept less resources and support outside of whatever small found family and resistance you gather.
Like all scifi parables some of it's metaphor plays second fiddle to making the technical premise work from a narrative perspective...but whenever they start talking about the Matrix consider they are actually saying "The Bioessentialist construct of gender" and you can see a lot of the different facets behind deliberate creative choices.
All of the allegory went completely over my head, which is not unusual for me. And since I'm cis I have the privilege of not having to think about how gender roles affect me in day to day life. The "red pill" thing does make it pretty funny when you consider how right-wingers, who are super transphobic, took it as their own.
Writing this got me thinking that I hated the term "cis" when I first started hearing it years ago. It just sounded unpleasant, like "sissy" or something. But it's grown on me through repeated usage.
The what? (Not sure if you‘re joking, good for them if true)
Is true.
I just googled it. Crazy I didnt hear about this. Glad they went for it.
I know, I don't follow entertainment news that closely or anything, but you'd think I would have heard about it sometime in the last 14 years.
Cue my conspiracy prone mind: Why would anyone not want us to know that great artists and personalities were trans, hmmmm? Wont have anything to do with pushing traditional family values, right? RIGHT?
It was fairly well reported then the first one transitioned, but their relevancy peaked during The Matrix. Also, some people like to maintain some level of private lives.
Also the story, while mostly being a christ allegory, has very very strong themes about self Identity, and being unaware of your true self.
Oh it's both of them now? I remember when it was just the one. Or did I Mandela effect that?
Looks like it was first one, then the other from a google search.

Thigh highs is something everyone can enjoy. Maybe if we got a pair on some bigots they'd wind up, and loosen down. Wait, scratch that and reverse it.
It's what the founding fathers wore when writing the Declaration of Independence!

Very much agree, I feel like everyone should at least give them a try, they're very comfy.
yay -cis
yum -cis
My own way of using command line arguments for ill intents:
netstat -tue -lepen
Yes. I know some of those flags are redundant.
ill intents
I'd say it's good intent!

Huh, I thought you were supposed to use -sri. I hate dealing with the AUR, that stuff doesn't work half the time. I'm sure there are reasons for making it annoying like that but I haven't really put much thought into it before. I'd like to think making the AUR a pain in the ass makes things less likely to break, and hopefully that's not just because you're less likely to install AUR packages.
