Lilly Wachowski, one half of the Wachowskis, has come out as transgender after the Daily Mail threatened to out her. Lilly's sister Lana, was also born male, and transitioned in the early 2000s.

The sisters, formerly known as the Wachowski Brothers, are known for The Matrix film series and Netflix show Sense8.

**** the Daily Mail, its none of their buisness.

That's unusual, two members of the same family. I genuinely had no idea about Lana either, always assumed they were still the "brothers". Good luck to her, loved Sense8 and look forward to more from them.

The Daily Mail stooping to a new low I see.

"I just wanted—needed some time to get my head right, to feel comfortable." - I find this really upsetting. The most difficult thing for a transgender person is sorting their heads out, moreso than their body. There's a reason suicide rates among trans people is so high.

Stories like this make me so angry, having a close friend who is trans (female to male), and seeing what he goes through. And I suppose the kind of abuse he sometimes gets makes sense reading things like this, seeing how it's treated by outlets like the Daily Mail who are feeding peoples minds with the attitude that trans people are sideshows/freaks to be gawked at and used for entertainment, and who gives a **** about how that might affect them because their feelings are secondary to what? A need to parade someone in public and make a show of how different they are to us? I don't get it. This shouldn't be happening to people in 2016.

Anyway, Lily's statement is brilliantly written it's incredible actually (and far better than anything I've ever seen written in the Daily Mail). Good luck to her
