After the release of The Matrix, both the Wachowskis came out as transgender women, and some have seen trans themes in the film.[148] The red pill has been compared with red estrogen pills.[149] Morpheus's description of the Matrix giving you a sense that something is fundamentally wrong, "like a splinter in your mind", has been compared to gender dysphoria.[149] Also, in the original script, Switch was one gender in the Matrix and another gender in the real world, but this idea was ultimately dropped.[150] In a 2016 GLAAD Media Awards speech, Lilly Wachowski said "Theres a critical eye being cast back on Lana and Is work through the lens of our transness. This is a cool thing because its an excellent reminder that art is never static."[151]

Are estrogen pills really the red pills?
