TL;DR — A 2006 magazine feature on the co-director of The Matrix (now Lana Wachowski), reporting rumours and gossip about her private life years before she came out as trans.
A feature dated January 12, 2006 and bylined Peter Wilkinson; this copy is a retyped text and does not name the outlet. It follows the director then known as Larry Wachowski, co-director of the Matrix films, through the Los Angeles BDSM scene, his relationship with a dominatrix, his divorce, and rumours about gender identity, alongside Hollywood speculation about the Wachowskis’ silence after the trilogy. Much of it rests on anonymous friends, a self-described private investigator, and industry insiders.
Lana Wachowski came out publicly as a trans woman in 2012.
What it is: celebrity journalism built on gossip and unnamed sources about a real person’s private life and gender identity; it dates badly and is of interest mainly as a record of how the press covered the subject in 2006.
