MOVIE NEWS – The second Wachowski sibling of “The Matrix” trilogy has come out as a transgender woman, with Andy Wachowski, now going by the name Lilly, making an announcement on Tuesday.

Lilly’s bro… uhm… sister and directing partner, Lana, became transgender some years ago. In a statement to Windy City News, Lilly said she was at risk of being outed by the media.

According to her statement, Lilly was approached by a reporter at U.K. outlet the Daily Mail, who asked Lilly if she could “have my picture taken and tell my story which was so inspirational!”

Lilly went on to slam the Daily Mail’s history with transgender issues.

“SEX CHANGE SHOCKER — WACHOWSKI BROTHERS NOW SISTERS!!!” is the title Andy Wachowski gave her coming out statement, published by the Windy City Times. After the filmmaker was threatened to be outed by other media outlets, Wachowski took matters into her own hands.
