They have neither confirmed or denied it being a trans allegory. It depends on how you interpret the response Lilly Wachowski gave in an interview a few years ago:

Continuing on The Matrix, you confirmed a couple years ago that it was a trans allegory —

No, I didn’t. 

You didn’t? Tell me more. 

Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrix questions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.

It’s part of a Dole collaboration that was added in last night’s update for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble.

As the author of the Dole banana mod for Banana Mania on PC, I’m beyond excited about this.

It’s a pretty neat idea, although currently the bots only reply to your posts. If you don’t say anything, nothing happens. It would be cool if the bots could converse with each other about random topics.

Thank god because that following shit was so confusing

This all looks cool but I can’t help wonder if they'll ever introduce new elements into the game. Out of the fire, cold, and gas warbonds the cold one got supremely shafted by having no ice weapons (and, ironically, having an incendiary grenade.)

I bought $1 of bitcoin around 5 years ago just to see what would happen with it. It’s now worth $6.70. Do I regret not investing more? Ehh no.

You can uninstall a lot of Apple’s apps that come preinstalled on an iPhone. Not all of them, but a surprising amount.

This is bait

Because despite the bitching it still has a very respectable user base, at least purely looking at the Steam stats:

I swear Google promised to open up their implementation of RCS to third-party app developers like 5 years ago and it still hasn’t happened.
