Second Wachowski sibling comes out as transgender four years after her sister

Never heard of 2 siblings both being transgender. Was quite surprised to see this this morning

EDIT if you're not sure who they are they brought us The Matrix, V for Vendetta and Cloud Atlas

A saw The Matrix, and it was OK. They have a whole bloody story board for V for Vendetta in the form of the graphic novel and cocked it up to the point that Alan Moore got angry about it.
Quote:
while the film's story has been changed by the Wachowski Brothers to fit a modern political context. Alan Moore, however, charged that, in doing so, the story has turned into an American-centric conflict between liberalism and neo-conservatism, and abandons the original anarchist-fascist themes. Moore states "There wasn't a mention of anarchy as far as I could see. The fascism had been completely defanged. I mean, I think that any references to racial purity had been excised, whereas actually, fascists are quite big on racial purity."

I never saw Cloud Atlas, but I have read the book, and then discovered that it’s not by the David Mitchell who seems to be permanently glued to a chair in Would I Lie To You?

And, sadly, the two Matrix sequels.

They've made two good films, their first two, Bound and The Matrix. After that it's been sci-fi dross as far as the eye can see. At this point they're either some sort of tax dodge or just being kept around on the off-chance they knock out another Matrix.

I actually quite like V for Vendetta. The matrix sequels can sod off though.
