The second half of the directing duo known as the Wachowskis has come out as transgender.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Lilly Wachowski, 48, sibling of Lana Wachowski, 50, issued a statement to Windy City Times that begins, “SEX CHANGE SHOCKER\u2014WACHOWSKI BROTHERS NOW SISTERS!!!”<\/p>\n
The Times reports an outlet threatened to out the younger Wachowski, which led to the announcement, which, Lilly writes, she had been anticipating with “dread and\/or eye rolling exasperation.”<\/p>\n
“The ‘news’ has almost come out a couple of times,” Wachowski writes. “Each was preceded by an ominous email from my agent — reporters have been asking for statements regarding the ‘Andy Wachowski gender transition’ story they were about to publish.”<\/p>\n
Wachowski goes on to recount an incident in which a reporter from the Daily Mail showed up at her home to elicit an exclusive on her gender transition.<\/p>\n
“After he had given me his card, and I closed the door it began to dawn on me where I had heard of the Daily Mail,” Wachowski writes. “It was the ‘news’ organization that had played a huge part in the national public outing of Lucy Meadows, an elementary school teacher and trans woman in the UK.”<\/p>\n
Wachowski decided instead to come out on her own terms.<\/p>\n
“So yeah,” she writes. “I’m transgender.”<\/p>\n
