Hi all,
So it's 3 am and I'm having trouble sleeping, when my brain makes a random association.
I spend most of my time here in the transgender forum and often people new to the site go there asking for some validation of their feelings and the answer from one of the more experienced members is usually something along the lines of "if you think you are, then you are".
Now, obviously the wachowskis trials and the themes of their work is fairly well documented and the various influences are fairly obvious, but just now the following line from the matrix popped in to my head:
(The Oracle) : "being the one is like being in love; no one can tell you you are, you just know you it, balls to bones"
(or something like that anyway).
Given the similarity to the general answer to transgender queries, I'm left with one conclusion...
The Oracle, is Susan's or some precursor site (Cindy's?). It would make sense too, as that would be who you go to for knowledge...just like the oracle!
What do you think? The Matrix was released in 1999 I think or around then at least (again, going from memory), so The Oracle would have been the preeminent TG site at the time the movie was written...(whatever site that was)
Just the random thoughts of a Sleepless in Surbiton TG!

P.S. Gives whole new meaning to: "it's the question that drives us..."
