The Matrix is a confirmed and intentional trans allegory, written and directed by two transgender sisters, Lilly and Lana Wachowski.
They weren’t out as trans when the first three movies or The Animatrix [an animated anthology film produced by the Wachowskis, released direct-to-video after Reloaded] were made, but publicly came out as trans before the fourth movie. This changes the context for some of the films, which we’ll discuss along the way.
I want to remind you that these movies are fantastic humans vs machines sci-fi movies, and the first absolutely revolutionised action movies and special effects, and there’s also entire religious and philosophical metaphors to explore. All those things are well worth discussing.
The movies are so dense and have so many layers I’m in awe as a writer. But I’m only going to talk about the trans allegories. Please don’t take that as an indication I don’t think those other things exist or aren’t worth discussing, it’s just that these allegories are so densely packed with detail about the trans experience that it’s going to take this entire book to explain them.

Delaware only has one congressional seat, and current Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester announced last week that she will be leaving the post so she can run to replace retiring Sen. Thomas Carper in the Senate. McBride won’t be the only Democrat vying to replace Rochester, but her chances are promising. She brought in over 70 percent of the vote to win her state Senate seat in 2020.
