Trans creator of "The Matrix" has thoughts on MAGA's "crazy, mutant" interpretation of the film

(This was news to me. I was never a fan of the movie. But I find it hilarious to think that so many have been "red pilled" .

The movie was always meant to be an allegory for the trans experience, but conservatives seem to have missed that.

The Matrix director and trans icon Lilly Wachowski was funny and philosophical last week when asked by comedian Caleb Hearon about the “loser freaks” twisting her message in the classic trilogy to their own red-America ideological ends.

SNIP---
“Right-wing ideology appropriates absolutely everything,” she said. “They appropriate left-wing points of view, and they mutate them for their own propaganda to obfuscate what the real message is.”

In The Matrix’s case, it’s just not possible to “make absolutely every person believe” what she and her sister and collaborator Lana Wachowski intended when they made the films.

Ironically enough, that message was one about the trans experience, though the sisters knew the “world wasn’t quite ready” to hear it explicitly at the time. Lana Wachowski came out as trans in 2016.
