No foul language - i.e. French 🤮

Obviously satire, dozy wankers

Both the sisters who wrote it are. However they also claimed it was a trans-metaphor quite a long time afterwards.

A lot of it doesn't make sense as a trans-metaphor, so I'm not entirely convinced of this claim. Its a great film, with some horrible sequels.

One of the main characters, Switch, was meant to change genders in and out of the matrix. It’s not all trans metaphors, but there is much going on there that is relevant,

The vast majority of the films supposed metaphors are mostly around secret knowledge, and discovering that what they were being told was a lie to control.

It could be read as an egg moment, but from the outset many groups were claiming that it represented them and I could easily see why they would say that.

The only reason I said what I did was because so much of it is vague and anything could be read into it.

It’s not all trans metaphors

What was actually made (as the first film) has very few trans-metaphors.

Yes, in think the directors have even said it wasnt consciously a trans based decision at the time. They just thought it would be cool and make a good story.
