    Thanks. That loads but it doesn’t explain how the film is an allegory for transgender. I’d love to read an analysis of the film that breaks down what scenes mean what through that lens

      Neo is a member of an underground movement who doesn’t like using his real name, although it’s the name the authorities insist on using for him. He has a creeping and dreadful sensation that his entire experience of reality is wrong, up until he takes a red pill and learns who he really is. Accepting the truth about himself is difficult, up until he experiences a rebirth and gains mastery of his own perceptual reality.

      Everything I just said is a trans thing.
