With at least one confirmed trans character cut from the first Matrix movie by the production studio, let's examine the reading of The Matrix as a trans allegory.

With The Matrix 4 coming, let's talk about how the first movie is a trans allegory

As a trans woman on the autism spectrum, my first viewing of The Matrix was pretty formative. I was a socially anxious kid convinced I had to fit in with everyone around me, become just like everyone else, or be threatened with harm for stepping out of line.

This was a very cool read. I can certainly understand the connections you've made. I also had no idea Switch was originally written like that. It would have been so cool to see them! (I'll admit that I would have missed the transgender meaning at the time and just seen it as a cool video game avatar kind of thing. I was still fairly ignorant in 1999.) I am now more excited for Matrix 4. 🙂
