Second Wachowski Sibling Comes Out As Transgender Four Years After Her Sister
March 9 2016, Published 11:40 a.m. ET
Andy Wachowski, of the famed sibling directing duo, is following in her sister's footsteps, announcing that she's transitioned to a woman, Lilly Wachowski.
The 48-year-old delivered the news to Windy City Media Group on Tuesday, in a statement confirming her transgender status.
"In response to this threatened public outing against my will, I had a prepared a statement that was one part piss, one part vinegar and 12 parts gasoline," she wrote in the statement.
"My sister Lana and I have largely avoided the press," she continued, noting her need privacy. "I find talking about my art frustratingly tedious and talking about myself a wholly mortifying experience. I knew at some point I would have to come out publicly. You know, when you're living as an out transgender person it's…kind of difficult to hide. I just wanted — needed some time to get my head right, to feel comfortable. But apparently I don't get to decide this."
