I watched the matrix entirely for the trans allegory because my english teacher started yapping about it today

#that allegory sure did allegory #it was nice to hear this (as far as im aware) cisgender ass man talking about trans people in an entirely positive way #he was just like “the really cool thing about the matrix is that its a trans allegory” etc #me when im in a trans ally competition and my schools english department turns up #transgender #the matrix

Sometimes I talk about my transmasc Agito headcanon in collected meta analysis looking at the story through a queer reading. Like the essay I wrote.

And sometimes I scream about how he’s wearing a binder after becoming Enhanced and the Forest literally gave him testosterone and what he did to his body is seen as transgressive by the Ragna army and the people from the past who want his body to go back to the way it was before and AAAAAA

And and it’s other people who have to accept him as he is instead of how he was AAAAAAAA

#transmasc headcanon #trans man headcanon #origin spirits of the past #giniro no kami no agito #like. this is transition allegory #sometimes I feel crazy for this because headcanons are just for fun but no seriously. this is real to me #as real as the matrix is about being trans as well #it’s also a magical boy story to me #silver haired agito #And that is not even getting into everything with Toola and her attachment to the idealistic past she remembers #and how she sees what Agito does and pites him when she first sees his transformed form #*stares at you* Watch Origin: Spirits of the Past #one of these days i’ll make a video essay about this but i’m also scared of YouTube comments

As a society, we should've stopped making movies after The Matrix, cuz it's got everything.

Guns

Kung Fu

Keanu Reeves

Lawrence Fishburne

Mystical Chosen Ones

Leather everywhere

The Late 90s Corporate Hellscape

Cyberpunk Aspects

Trans Allegories

Hugo Weaving

Carrie-Anne Moss

Slow-motion Action Sequences

Anime Influences

Unsubtle but still cool names like Neo, Morpheus, Trinity and The Oracle

The Oracle

Philosophy

It was perfect.

I think Ramiro 1899 being Jewish is something that I thought of as a joke before it swallowed me whole but Ramiro 1899 being trans is something that genuinely could have likely been canonical in later seasons

#No line is wasted in this show…. Why does ángel think he’s lying about soemthing that ángel is not and go for the.#Very gendered. Accusations #I remember how the og matrix script draft I think had a person called switch who was different presenting genders in the matrix and real wo #World and I think that could have totally been an 1899 play #It pulls off the matrix for sure and the matrix is well known to be a trans allegory #To that effect there’s also interesting stuff with Maura maybe #1899 #1899 Ramiro

Just watched Matrix Reloaded and forgot how much I am OBSESSED with that fight scene on the freeway. First off, everyone’s outfits are so cunty I love it. Second, the techno music fucking slays like I can’t ✋. Third, it’s such an insane fight sequence I literally start foaming at the mouth y’all. Please if yall have never watched the original 3 movies, PLEASE tune in it’s absolutely worth the watch. The fight sequences are absurd but glorious, the outfits are serving, and in general it’s an excellent sci-fi franchise.

Matrix my beloved trilogy (we don’t talk about the 4th movie) that was completely misinterpreted by certain groups of people 🫶

#goober draws #trans artist #shitpost #blorbos #the matrix #matrix reloaded #that freeway fight scene altered me permanently #matrix my beloved #misinterpreted to filth #I interpret correctly #keanu reeves #matrix soundtrack #goober rants #trans allegory #the matrix trinity

As much as The Matrix was a trans allegory, it was also an allegory about Anarchy. Cypher didn't just want to go back into the matrix to forget he was trans, he wanted to go back to Liberalism and believe that the system and the police were there to assist and protect him. He wanted to go back to being a White liberal.

Just finally saw The Matrix for the first time but I was high and busy cuddling wolfgirls the whole time and I think that's the real trans allegory.

#the real trans allegory was the bitemarks we made a long the way or something #the matrix #trans #posting

The Matrix premiered on this day, 24 March, in 1999. Happy 26th birthday! While they say that the world wasn't ready for it then, its writer-director duo, trans women Lilly and Lana Wachowski, now talk openly about how the film was a trans allegory:

“I love how meaningful those films are to trans people and the way that they come up to me say, ‘Those movies saved my life.’

-Matrix co-writer and director, Lilly Wachowski

Check out our podcast, if you'd like to hear more about transness and the Matrix!
