“Neo learns who Trinity is and says, “I thought you were a guy.” Her reply: “Most guys do.” Already you can see how some of this allegory isn’t subtext at all, but it very surface-level supertext once you know what to look for! But also note that if Trinity is Neo’s self-actualization, he’s saying to himself that he thought he was a guy. He thought his true self was a man, because that’s what society said he was. But he’s not! His fully realized self is a woman”

“Morpheus: “If you are not one of us, you are one of them.” As I said then and a few times since, we trans people are not a big enough part of the population to change society on our own. If cis people don’t stand up for us and fight for us to have the same rights they do, it will never happen. It can’t happen, because cis people control everything. Until you decide to fight alongside us, nothing will change for us and you’re part of the status quo that oppresses us.”
