It was only a matter of time. With each subsequent Matrix sequel released it grew clearer that the story was not ended. There would be more. Possibly to explain what exactly happened in the third movie, and why the second was even ever needed. So, now, here it comes: A fourth matrix film is reported to be in the works with Keanu stating that he would not turn down the opportunity to be Neo again. This may be the answer to the loyal followers of the Fanimatrix who have asked for a long time if there would be a sequel.

Maybe they will just retcon the lot, throw it all down the well as Neo's nightmare, and save the series with a decent ending.

    It depends on the relationship. Many relationships can't survive gender transition, and others do.

    My impression of the legal situation before we got free Obamacare gay marriage was that gender transition was the only way to wind up gay married since the legal construct of the marriage sort of gets grandfathered in to the whole deal. I forget if anywhere in the USA, but I think it's Germany (and Iran, which has 50% off discount Shahcare sex changes) where gender transition automatically annuls the marriage.

    There is Jennifer Finney Boylan's [wikipedia.org] autobiography, She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders. It's a decent read, though keep in mind working class trans women (i.e. the vast majority of trans women who have more in common with working class white cis+hets than they do with Boylan) do not have it anywhere near as easy as one of the neoliberal elite. Nevertheless, it is an example of a relationship that survived gender transition.

    If you read that, I recommend the essay Transphobia is a Class Issue [libcom.org] by Anarchasteminist as supplemental material. Presumably that essay would also apply to the Wachowski sisters.
