Nope. I don't either.

Please retroactively explain.
this thread on twitter does a good job of it

https://twitter.com/supership79/status/764646652665790465?s=19

it get cut off at one point, but the thread resumes here:

short answer: there's a lot.
some selected bits:

the first shot of the movie opens with "trans opt" written prominently on the scene

Agent Smith deadnames neo throughout the movie, and does so because he knows it bothers him. neo always looks uncomfortable in his usual work garb.

the character Switch was originally going to be a different gender outside the matrix than inside it. she's wearing a binder when we first see her. also her name is Switch lol

lots of medical imagery when Neo is getting accustomed to his new body

mirrors, a common source of dysphoria for trans people, recur many, many, many times throughout
