The Wachowskis originally envisioned the character "Switch" as a representation of gender dysphoria. In the early script, Switch was a biological male in the harsh real world, but projected a female residual self-image inside the digital Matrix—literally "switching" genders. Warner Bros. executives pushed back on the idea, forcing the directors to cast an androgynous female actor (Belinda McClory) for both realities, but the name and core concept remained as a subtle piece of trans history.
