Oh, but it gets better than that.
The Wachowskis, who directed the Matrix and transitioned, have admitted that the Matrix is actually in large part a trans allegory. Apparently one the pills used to transition was literally a red pill.

That moment was probably peak social media. Along with Lewinski winning the internet with that word play joke.

The work is not exactly subtle if you are even casually familiar with aspects of the trans experience.
