Wachowski Siblings Become Wachowski Sisters

Second Wachowski Sibling Comes Out as Transgender

The second half of the directing duo known as the Wachowskis has come out as transgender. Lilly Wachowski, 48, sibling of Lana Wachowski, 50, issued a statement to Windy City Times that begins, "SEX CHANGE SHOCKER—WACHOWSKI BROTHERS NOW SISTERS!!!"

Read the statement in full here.

Another outlet threatened to out the younger Wachowski, leading to the surprise announcement, which, Lilly writes, she had been anticipating with "dread and/or eye rolling exasperation."

Lilly's sister, Lana, came out as transgender on Oct. 20, 2012, in a funny, honest and deeply moving speech delivered at the Human Rights Campaign’s gala fundraising dinner in San Francisco.

Together, the Wachowskis have directed eight features, including the Matrix trilogy, Cloud Atlas, and Jupiter Ascending. They also co-created the Netflix series Sense8, a science-fiction fantasy about a group of people linked psychically, which explores transgender themes and stars transgender actress Jamie Clayton.

I think you mean they became Wachowski HEROES.

 

[melvinj0]

Could just be a last ditch effort to get people interested in them again, I mean making a good film is obviously not an option for them.

 

[melvinj0]

I think you mean they became Wachowski HEROES.

Stunning and brave. Both should get Oscars, the Nobel prize, and the first born son from every family in the US.

 

[odog]

Good for her. Too bad they make super shitty movies.

 

[Skip Reming]

Lol, they made a movie about a simulated reality called The Matrix. They are now living in a simulated reality. Ironic, don't you think?

Stunning and brave. Both should get Oscars, the Nobel prize, and the first born son from every family in the US.

I got a banana split at dairy queen, I guess I am a hero too.

 

[ripskater]

There's transsexuals coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden.

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

The Matrix and Cloud Atlas are brilliant films IMO, V for Vendetta is good too.

They are great, not every time but that doesn't matter.

As for the gender issue, idgaf

 

[dissolved]

Somehow V for Vendetta felt like a hot chick with an Adam's Apple.

 

[wlu29]

Cloud Atlas was annoying

 

[Iscariott]

Still ugly as a chick.

 

[Frank23]

Good for them.

 

[Jack Reacheround]

There's transsexuals coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden.

Probably because more people are accepting of them now, so they don't have to hide it.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Good for her. Hope she is happier not living a lie.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

There is no gender in the Matrix

 

[TrippleOG]

Trannies taking over

 

[HwoarangStyle]

would. both. at the same time.

 

[BisexualMMA]

Stunning and brave. Both should get Oscars, the Nobel prize, and the first born son from every family in the US.

How dare you label that child a son before it has a chance to decide for itself.

 

[Guestx]

No. Fucking. Way.

Is this where your mind gets pushed to when you've had multiple failures in a row?

 

[BisexualMMA]

would. both. at the same time.

Quick, get this guy out of the Matrix.
