This seems a little retconned, kind of like how J.K. Rowling says that Hermione was black and such.

JK Rowling seems like she’ll take any credit that people want to ascribe to her.

The idea that the Wachowski sisters intended this meaning based on their experience but were overruled by the suits feels more legit based on who they are in the world.

Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24089549 elsewhere. tl;dr: people tweeted eight years ago Matrix had trans themes at least or it's outright about being trans.
