Were brothers, were sisters: why did the creators of "the Matrix" Wachowski decided to have a sex change

Probably there is no man who would not look the legendary "Matrix". Or at least not heard about it. It is not surprising that this film has brought so much fame to its creators — the brothers, now the Wachowski sisters.

At least the Directors made their coming-outs long enough, their "reincarnation" very little is known. Let's find out when, how and why the two men suddenly decided to become women.

Larry and Andy Wachowski were born in Chicago to Polish-American family. Their father was a businessman, and his mother worked as a nurse in a hospital. The woman changed the Catholic faith in shamanism, and the man remained a staunch atheist. Larry and Andy once admitted that such a kind of religious atmosphere in the family has influenced them.

The two brothers finished elementary school in Chicago public school Whitney young, which is known for the curriculum of the performing arts. It was there that Larry and Andy woke up the love of creativity — together they participated in school theatre and school television, however, always behind the scene...

Later, the brothers went to learn who's where: Larry enrolled at bard College in new York, and Andy was at College Emerson in Boston. But almost at the same time, Wachowski dropped out, got married, started the construction business, but in parallel wrote the script. One of them soon brought them wide popularity. We think you already guessed that we are talking about the script for the film "the Matrix".

Tape with a budget of 63 million, grossed more than $ 460 million, received 4 Oscars and another 28 different awards. No need to clarify that after this life brothers changed radically — secular receptions, parties, autographs, meeting with many stars... amid collapsed on them of glory, the brothers experienced a lot of stress — Larry even began to visit psihoterapevta. But, as it turned out, the reason was not only in severe popularity.

One of the tricks the man admitted, already feels like a woman. Larry, now Lana already told that she hates her body and even thought about suicide.

After talks with psychotherapist and long nights of thought, Larry decided to change their sex. At first he told mother, Lynne Wachowski, and then brother Andy and the rest of the family. Almost all supported the idea and expressed willingness to help with the difficult transition to the "new body". Then Andy, who was still a man, joked that working with his sister he will be more comfortable.

Latter-day Lana began to appear at different events in women's clothing, experimenting with hairstyles and started a new family. Her choice was Karin Winslow — Keeper elite BDSM club. Women met in the search of thrills, but soon their passion grew into love.

Watching the positive changes in his brother and how he is now happy, Andy realized that it's time in your life to change something. The Director told the relatives that felt the same way, what he was talking about Larry's discomfort, hatred of his body, the denial of the masculine "I" and the failure itself. The decision for Andy to repeat the path of his brother supported the whole family, even the spouse, with whom they are still married.

Coming out as a transgender woman Lana Wachowski made in July 2012, thus becoming the first openly transgender person among the famous Hollywood Directors. Lilly ventured into public recognition only four years later, in response to numerous threats of disclosing her secret from the Daily Mail.

So the Wachowski brothers became the Wachowski sisters and began a new life. By the way, this is not the only celebrity who understood that we do not live in their bodies. For example, earlier we told you about Bruce Jenner — the father of Kendall and Kylie Jenner and stepfather of Kim Kardashian, which in 2015 became Kathleen.
