Great now every future time I don't go see one of their shitty movies people will think I am transphobic.

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Didn't see that one coming.
One brother was unusual but ok.  It happens.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Are these the ones responsible for the Matrix?  Or some Polish-American somebodies I haven't heard of?

Yep.

Ah, OK.  I'm not trying to put over my Hollywood insider routine, but their overall sexual/gender non-conformity has been known for a while now, hasn't it?

Yes.  It has also been known that they directed exactly one decent movie and have been getting gigs based on that ever since.  Their writing has occasionally risen to the mediocre, but they can't direct for fuck.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

You, me, and Rex Reed need to sit down for a few Brandy Sidecars one of these days. :smoke:

Larry/Lana's "gender non-conformity" had been rumoured for years before it became public.

This is the first I've ever heard of Andy/Lilly's transitioning.

To be honest, I don't think I even ever noticed how they went from Wachowski brother's to brother and sister. I think my brain just accepted that as how it had always been. :blush:

Got a "better term"?  What word does Her Majesty use in the Canadian criminal files?

Transgendered? :unsure:  It doesn't come up very often.
