Matrix Director Comes Out As Transgender Woman

The co-director of The Matrix, Lilly Wachowski, formerly known as Andy, has come out as transgender - four years after her sister Lana Wachowski also transitioned to a woman.Lilly Wachowski wrote a piece in Chicago's Windy City Times entitled "Sex change shocker - Wachowski brothers now sisters!!!"
The 48-year-old said she decided to make her gender reassignment public after a journalist attempted to coerce her into doing an interview about her transition.
"I knew at some point I would have to come out publicly," Lilly Wachowski wrote.
"You know, when you're living as an out transgender person it's … kind of difficult to hide.
"I just wanted - needed some time to get my head right, to feel comfortable.
"But apparently I don't get to decide this."
Her sister Lana, 50, formerly known as Larry, came out publicly as a transgender woman in 2012.
