    From what I can remember, the simbolism is stronger in the first movie and not so much on the other two. I recall two key things that can simbolize the struggle trans people go through or are references to transgenderism.

    • Neo feels that there is something wrong with the world and that he does not belong in it
    • The Character Switch was originally supposed to be a man in the real world and a woman when plugged in to the matrix.

    I’m sure there’s more but it’s been a while since I came across the analysis.

    Worth noting that when I watched the movies I never made an association with transgenderism. I think in great part because I was not even aware of it.














  • Reminds me when I practiced athletics and had my first competition. I couldn’t for my life do anything right… Dropped out of the endurance race, had a false start on the sprint and threw the weight in the wrong direction.

    The worst was the high jump. During practice I was doing really well by being able to clear 1.9 meters (6.2 feet) but during the competition I was not even able to clear 1.4 meters (4.6 feet)… performance anxiety is very real!
