»Is Larry Wachowski transsexual?«

i dont care either....if its true or not. If thats what he wants whatever....i love his movies and i will be supportive even if i dont agree with it.

sorry one more thing....i believe transexuals are the people who change themselves from girl to boy or boy to girl. God did not create transexuals. Man did. i believe its transvestites that are born with both parts....

Hermaphrodites are the one's born with both parts....

Well people seem to be ignoring this, who actually believes the article? I for one don't believe Larry is a transexual and if he is, that's his business. Arguing that it's wrong to become transgender is biast and fairly misunderstanding.

I have no doubt the article is true. I've seen the photos of Larry and his face and body are changing the same way mine did nearly 10 years ago when I changed sex.

Do I think Larry is transsexual? No. I think he's a guy with a fetish that is completely out of control. There are a lot of guys who get off on being dominated or humiliated and for them forced feminization is a huge turn-on. As "transgender" becomes more socially acceptable, I think more fetishists are coming out of the woodwork and proclaiming their "womanhood".

I agree with the FACT that GOD made you what you are... BUT, you are given a choice. Hmmm, a choice? That sounds familiar. So do you choose to change who/what you are, or do you 'go with the flow'?

We're born naked and uneducated. Are we violating some will of God by wearing clothes and getting an education? We've invented a lot of technology we weren't born with. People lose arms and legs and doctors patch them up. Well, I was a straight guy who was the biggest fag on the planet. I didn't fit in with men and I didn't want to fit in with men. So what was I supposed to do? Be miserable? Get my ass kicked because people just assumed I was gay? Get gay bashers to move to Uranus? I get one life to live, just like everyone else, and I chose to be someone I always wanted to be, and someone that doesn't stand out like a sore thumb

Some are, some aren't. intersex is a lot more complex than "born with both parts". It includes complete sex reversal -- genetic males born physically female, genetic females born physically male, and everything in between. Very, very few intersex people are born with something that looks like "both".

And I agree with whoever said that transsexuals are man-made. The transsexuals I know who never fit in as their birth sex didn't fit in because people made life a living hell, for various values of "living hell". That sounds like a social problem to me. The erotic obsession some men find on women's things sounds similarly constructed -- it's based on the humiliation men experience being forced to become something many men hate: women. That Larry has a thing for being humiliated by a woman tells me that he's bought the "women are inferior to men" load of crap hook, line and sinker.

I still disagree. God creates humans that are transgendered by nature.

These humans change themselves from something that God created into something else that God also created.

It’s not considered to be violating God’s jurisdiction when we do all sort of other things to make our lives better. Otherwise, God would just do everything for us and we wouldn’t be expected to do our part to make the world better. So the same could be said of sex-changing.

That might be true for some men who enjoy forced feminization, but not for all. Simply being forced to be something they’re *not* (as distinct from something they *hate*) for the gratification of someone else may be enough to arouse them, if they’re submissive by nature. There are different kinds of women, just as there are different kinds of men, and even some genetic women enjoy being “forced” into the role of the sissy slave who carries out stereotypically misogynist duties such as being someone’s French maid—sometimes within a lesbian D/S relationship, in which both are women.

Alternatively, it may be that men who seek forced feminization sincerely want to be female, but that their own transphobia, internalized from years of exposure to our transphobic culture, makes it so that they first have to deal with those issues by having someone “force” them to do it before they can feel strong enough to do it for themselves. This is the step that I believe Linda is taking now.

Humiliation can be anything, regardless of whether it’s positive or negative. Someone could give me a costume with every possible power/mistress/dominant symbol there is, and yet if they were sufficiently snide about it and tried to make me feel like they were making a spectacle of me, I’d be embarrassed anyway. Similarly, Larry being forced to be Lana could mean a Little Bo Peep outfit bulging with petticoats, or a smart, elegant evening gown, or a fascist policewoman with peaked cap, riding crop, and leather pants. It’s still going to be humiliating if her mistress makes it humiliating.

I prefer to allow fetishistic crossdressers, transvestites, and sissies into the transgender tent than to marginalize a group within an already marginalized group.

What incredibly bigoted garbage. You're the sexist for pretending that only men have these desires. There are women who like being humiliated by other women - does that mean they hate women? There are women who like to be humiliated by men...does that mean they hate men? No, you'd probably say it means they are self-hating women.. but that's par for the course for politically correct little fascists like you who want to take the fun out of everything.

I'm white and enjoy getting humiliated by black women.. by your twisted logic that means I think black women are inferior to me. Actually I don't... not at all. There are many other reasons humilation can be erotic than to think one's humiilator is inferior to you! That should be obvious to anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together.

By the way, I'm a woman and I don't consider YOU to be a real woman. I think you're a boring, self-righteous little man with a desperate need for attention. With your puritanical attitude you'd fit in well in the Christian Coalition.

Wanna fix that so it says 'Tranzdyke Wrote' not 'hungarian kid wrote'

But i thought they are already married and settled off?
Find out about the directors before making claims.
Check out the official matrix site chate with the directors.
9:18 is larry wife. Do i need to repeat myself?
I understand that a person can also be a gay in marriage or what but that dosen't matter.
Growing up from chicago, these guys may have been to night clubs and want to show them.

Realise why each movie in the trilogy have a dance scene?
Trinity first meets neo(m1)
Zion dance(m2)
Hell night club(m3)

Why people like to dance?
They say it's because 'they are free'
It's like masculin(sp?) The only way to fly.
Everything happens for a reason.
peace.
7one.

Quite so. I haven't been on this forum for a while, but isn't that article getting a little bit old by now? Where are the follow-up ones confirming the original story?

Certainly, natural processes produce people who are intersexed as well as those that are clearly XX and XY. It's society that groups us as "men" and "women", and mostly on a visual basis at that. As far as "God" goes (and I'm assuming the reference to be to a Jewish/Xian/Islamic one) you ought to know that Eunuchs are referred to in the Bible. Transgendered folk have been around a lot longer than the recent medicalisation of their condition.

Not that I'm Xian -- I'm a Galla, a follower of the ancient goddess Cybele, goddess of Transgendered folk.

Oops -- started using Firefox as a browser, and haven't sorted out teh bugs yet -- does multiple postiings if I'm not careful. (And how does one delete a duplicate post anyway, Knnn?).

Knnn - please delete this duplicate posting.

Knowing a little bit about the gender continum, I have to say I am saddened by the posts of a great many MATRIX fans out there....

Given the philosophy and ethos of the film(s), I think it is antithetical to question someone else's gender identity in a manner that does not honor transcendence as a virtue.

We are all (or have been at one time) in the bondage of a binary paradigm which must be re-engineered to the will of the individual, NOT the system or some concensus reality construct.

Cross-dressing or rumors do not make someone a transsexual, or anything else for that matter.

The Wachowski's are modern-day gnostics, or at the least special beings pushing the envelope of human potential through the devine virus.

Let's try to live up to the higher ideals of the film and its ideas and not lapse into inuendo and hear-say, let Wachowski speak for themself and give them the respect that they deserve.

Amen to that.

Amen to that.

How can 43% of people vote that Larry isn't a transexual when it is a FACT that he is? Maybe they thought it was an insult and didn't know that it was a statement of fact.

I can't understand why this topic is still going. We know that he's transexual. It's his own choice. What's the big problem?

The big problem is that it's all based on one (now old) web article and a crack by Leno. The article and the crack relate to him wearing an earring, lipstick; the crack apparently that he was seen wearing a dress. None of that makes him transsexual, and there's been no public statement by him as such, nor has there been any recent evidence, such as name changes and the like.

Especially when some evidence indicated that he might be into B&D, and have a girlfriend that "punishes" him -- such references then become sightings of him doing "chores" for her.

And the poll, well all that showed was that most of the folk in the forum get crossdressers confused with transsexuals. I may be wrong about this - give me some links to prove me wrong.

Oh, I heard that he was being divorced by his wife because she didn't like his decision to have surgery to become a woman. Are you saying this was just internet gossip?

I also heard that the brothers had decided that they came up with the matrix before his marriage to his wife so she wouldn't receive any of the movie takings.

WHO CARES?

Ok administrator guy, why are you psting topics like this? What does this have to do with The Matrix at all?

I know this topic is kinda old, but who cares if he is a tranny. I agree with golfb88, this isnt something that should be posted.
