From what I can remember, the simbolism is stronger in the first movie and not so much on the other two. I recall two key things that can simbolize the struggle trans people go through or are references to transgenderism.
- Neo feels that there is something wrong with the world and that he does not belong in it
- The Character Switch was originally supposed to be a man in the real world and a woman when plugged in to the matrix.
I’m sure there’s more but it’s been a while since I came across the analysis.
Worth noting that when I watched the movies I never made an association with transgenderism. I think in great part because I was not even aware of it.
The thing that worries me the most is digital devices and internet access. In our house we keep tight controls on screen time and internet usage but the majority (if not all) of the other kids in their school have unlimited access to internet which means second hand exposure and there’s very little we can do about it. I can’t just stop them from having friends… it’s steessful
