    Film director Lilly Wachowski comes out as transgender woman
    Lilly joins sister Lana, with whom she created the Matrix trilogy, after alleging pressure from Daily Mail forced her hand

    The Matrix filmmaker Lilly Wachowski has come out as a transgender woman, four years after her sister Lana did the same, in an eye-catching statement headlined: “Sex change shocker – Wachowski brothers now sisters!!!”.

    In a candid statement to Chicago’s Windy City Times Wachowski, 48, formerly known as Andy, said she was going public about her gender reassignment sooner than she hoped because a Daily Mail journalist had attempted to coerce her into an interview about her transition.

    Posting a self-portrait photograph, she wrote: “I knew at some point I would have to come out publicly. You know, when you’re living as an out transgender person, it’s … kind of difficult to hide. I just wanted – needed some time to get my head right, to feel comfortable. But apparently I don’t get to decide this.”

    Wachowski, one half of the Chicago sibling partnership known for the Matrix trilogy, V for Vendetta, Cloud Atlas and Jupiter Ascending, said she had already come out to family, friends and colleagues. She thanked Alicia Blasingame, her wife since 1991, for her love and support.

    Sisters is correct; they identify as women, and choose female pronouns, so the associated nouns would also be female.

    This is a software configuration, not hardware.

    Feel sorry for her with the asshole journalist forcing the issue. Until science can literally cure these types of things I feel that people should be free to live however they feel makes them happy.

    Here are things that need cured

    Blindness
    Deafness
    Obesity
    Drug addiction
    Hoarding
    Bipolar disorder
    Anorexia

    It isn't a sin to be blind or deaf or any of those really. It also isn't optimal either.

    If a cure means giving a man trapped in a woman's body a REAL male body then so be it.

    It also means that if we can find a way to fix that disconnect with a person's brain so they don't feel like a woman when born a man then good.

    I don't mean some brainwashing cult shit either.

    I don't give two shits about following what people of that community feel is the right or wrong way to discuss it. I believe what I believe. I just don't judge.....anymore, I used to.
