      The way he talked about and treated Trinity was pretty not okay

      Didn't he also kill Switch? Or at the very least was directly involved in Switch dying

      I still say Switch was an enemy combatant and he switched sides. We don't see it but we know Switch, like every other one of the rebel crew who can jack in, has been conditioned to see anyone still in a pod as expendable and to kill them at will

      But Switch is also trans (sort of)!

      I think that given the ways allegories stack into a text like the Matrix, and that the Wachowskis have stated it doesn't have one specific "meaning," that Cypher's story and Switch's story can be about something besides being trans, or about different aspects of it

      To me, right now, Cypher is very much a metaphor for how I feel "drafted" by virtue of being trans into a bunch of accelerationist-type leftism that doesn't even seem related, and how I feel as if trying to get in mainstream society's good side is going to work out better

      It's related to my repeated observation that Neo's life before he "wakes up" is pretty sweet, actually

      Well it LOOKED okay from the outside but Neo was in a state of chronic dissociation and depression This is usually what gets cited as the movie secretly being about dysphoria

          Like maybe the "trans reading" is overemphasized nowadays but Cypher is basically talking about wanting to detransition and live the life of a closeted trans person who'd never found out what dysphoria meant

          "Back then I had good job prospects, people thought I was attractive, I was a privileged white person and no hate groups particularly wanted to kill me What was SO BAD about that Why couldn't I have just kept my weird gender feelings to myself for another 20 years "
