Taunty McTauntface

The Vagina Museum kept its word, with 22 tweets celebrating men pretending to be women. Like…

That one in particular interests me because the man looks frankly scary. You wouldn’t want to be trapped anywhere alone with him – he has that “I’m just barely keeping my temper” look. I think the Vagina Museum chose that photo for that reason. I don’t understand why they did that, but I think it’s clear they did – they could have found a less ragey photo.

And after all that they taunt us further with

What are men?

    One would think the Vagina Museum would know the biological basis of being a woman. And yes, another example of womanhood alone having a porous boundary.

    The matrix is a metaphor for what?

    Not even Transmen?

    The Vagina Museum?

    So they centre TW on IWD, but have no “men with vaginas”?

    The creators of the Matrix, who now consider themselves trans, has been declared by those same creators to be a metaphor for trans-ness. I saw an article about it recently, in which the brothers elaborated on their thinking in great detail.

    They’re both men. The scary-looking one on the right is Lilly, né Larry. Graham Linehan retrieved this famous Rolling Stone article about Larry Wachowski’s relationship with a famous dominatrix:

    Aha! I wonder if scary guy is jealous of pink hair guy. Photo-passing-privilege, so unfair.

    They were small town boys who made it big, started partying hardy and then found themselves in the BDSM scene in Hollywood. They met up with Buck Angel, then slowly realized they’d been women all along. Hmmm.

    They produced “Sense8,” with a transwoman character who had mommy problems. The actor had never been male, so you wonder why they weren’t shamed for that.

    This is info from a fawning Rolling Stone article.

    Oy, I made a nonsensical mess of this.

    The movie “The Matrix” has been declared a “trans allegory” by its creators, the Brothers Wachowski, and this was explained in some detail in an interview for “Netflix Film Club” that has been quoted widely. Here is one such quoting article:
