Posted over a year ago, we had no inkling of how far his transformation would go...until now.
Here is a shot of larry a few years back, when he fist began taking the female hormone therapy:
Another photo, about a year and a half later:
And this newly released photo from a rare public appearance earlier this year:
The duo will now just be known as "The Wachowskis", dropping the "brothers" part of their name. It is expected that Larry, now called Lana, will actually speak to the press about this for the first time, but not until after the Speed Racer film is out. The current feeling is that his sex change could hurt the family image the Speed Racer film is going for.
It is also expected that Andy will do all the press for the Speed Racer film, with Larry/Lana staying in the background for the above reason.
Dateline NBC is still rumored to have exclusivity of Larry/Lana's first public interview, but it has to be on his terms, not theirs.
More on this as we get it!

I would like to point out that physical asault is just as illegal if your victim is transgender as it is if they are not.
So therefore you could very likely be arrested if you "hit" HER
You are welcome.
who's the idiot that doesn't know what "hit it" means?

Morpheus: "It puts the lotion on its skin, or it gets the hose again."
It's one or the other.
Grow the fuck up.
But I wish him all the luck in the world.
You're all either chauvinistic or retarded meatheads, with the exception of those willing to accept Lana as she is.
10:47 AM"
Wow, that's not the single-minded mentality that gets preached against at all...
That's like if I said "You're all either whiny spineless cowards or mindless drones, with the exception of those willing to accept what I say as absolute truth without question."
Get back to the herd... the other mindless cattle need your support.
Well said.
So about what, maybe 10% thinks this is a "normal" thing that someone would do? So with all the things going on in the world, I think: "WHO CARES WHAT SOMEONE ELSE DOES TO THEIR BODY"
However, I still think it's a completely ridiculous thing to do to oneself. I would have to agree, this is borderline mental disorder.
Again, I don't care what someone does, but I think it's impossible to argue that this is something that I should "accept". I don't have to accept this anymore than "he/she" should accept my non-acceptance of something I find absolutely repulsive and abnormal.
To the individual though, best of luck with that, and whatever makes you happy. Really though, hasn't anyone taken this person aside and really asked, "Why do you want to do this?" I'm sure it's happened, but seriously?
You know, the majority of the comments here are the enlightened and totally unignorant commentary I'd expect from people who've seen The Matrix 957 times.
Tran sexuality is a birth abnormality no less than being born without a limb. There is no cure for either but people learn to cope. The only way to reconcile a brain of one gender with the body of another sex is to change the body and that takes far more courage than most men possess.
There are transsexuals serving in every branch of the armed forces today including Special Forces. I and many others served in Nam. Children with caring parents are coming out and are transitioning as early as two to five years old now that physicians are aware of the condition.

I'd like to see when he had a chance to go to Germany...Germany of all places.
further, all this nonsense about accepting 'lana' as she is and being happy for her - what a load of cack. like you actually give a shit. for all you know 'lana' is a total ass hole. and judging by the brothers' creative output, which i have had to injure, i'd say that's pretty likely.
grow up fucktards.
Ironic, given that *Larry* wasn't willing to accept Larry as he was.
Larry apparently thinks he / she / neither is a new gender all to himself (I am not making this up). Anybody who knows him, however, understands this. I mean, he is so incredibly arrogant, and filled with unwarranted feelings of entitlement... actually, sexuality issue aside, he's quite gross to be around.
The real mess was the wild mood swings and poor judgment on the Matrix sequel sets. Only sleaze bag liars like Producer Joel Silver would try to hide this. With good reason, too. The sequels may have made some money, but they lost millions more due to the way Larry's creative output was diminished by the hormone therapy (not to mention his crazy treatment of others).
And yes, the preferred name (in private) is Lana.
But here's the kicker: big old doormat dufus Andy dresses in women's clothes, too!
Except Friedman failed to break this story himself over a year ago, so now he makes shit up to counter a valid story.
Faux News FTW.
Not so fast. Friedman said the rumor about the sex change was not true. Correct. Larry Wachowski has not completed surgery. He is NOT transsexual.
Friedman also relies on people who have a vested interest in keeping Larry in the closet; i.e. those who want the family audience to come in and $ee Speed Racer (e.g. producer Joel Silver, the liar).
As I said above:
Larry Wachowski is transgender, though he publically remains "in the closet" about it. He has been undergoing hormone therapy for years, thus the developing breasts. He has not fully taken the transsexual step.
For the moment, Larry / Lana has chickened out. But keep tuned on this one.
Scissor me timbers!!
Why is it that some guy’s have to go out of their way to show that they are not gay?! Whenever a controversy such as this comes along I notice that some guys almost feel compelled to sound-off with very derogatory language. You don’t see us women going around saying bad things about Rosie O’Donnell or making homophobic jokes in jest with each other. Seems to me that masculinity is a very frail and viciously protected thing! It’s like all the men are going; see how I’m against transgendered people, that means I’m a regular guy. Whenever I see a guy act out like this, It makes me wonder what he’s really suppressing.
I find these kinds of statements endlessly amusing. Without arguing over definitions of masculine and feminine, we do have different names. Someone always derides masculine because it isn’t feminine enough. So, you must accept to think and act like others or we will criticize and even ostracize you. Hypocrisy rules.
Earlier someone tried to defend the notion saying it was abnormal.
Just look this up in the dictionary and draw your own conclusions 'ABNORMAL'
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, just cause it doesnt agree with yours there is no need to slag them off, and the use of retard is a very derogatory statement.
so for some of you its ok to put a lable on mentally challenged people but when someone starts slagging off Transexuals etc you jump on your pedastool...F**king hypocrites.
Then one day I had a mental breakdown, heard voices and everything. But,... They where female voices. They were telling me everything I believed and told myself throughout my life to hide who I really am.......a GIRL.
Ironic. I was SHOCKED. I heard and saw all kinds of beautiful and sensual sounds and pictures. (Hallusinations.)I was a daisy. I had female wiring. Amazing! I was scared.
Today I am a healthy-headed woman. I no longer hear voices. They've stopped. I guess because I've stopped hating gays and hating myself. I am my true self. The person I was runing from is the person that I am. True.
Today, instead of my stone cold macho days, I am finally real. I have a heart. My parents suport me, and so do my sibblings.
I amm happy.
Months before I was born, my parents and doctors new I would be a boy. But on the day of my birth, a nurse did an ultrasound again. The nurse said her electronical equipment was reading me as a girl. Heart rate and everything. THe nurse got excited and said she would do an amniosentesis. Only she took the serum form my head.
Yes, I was a lab rat while in my mothers womb. Today I have a hole in my head. I'm 29 years old. It took years and years of courage and honesty to become a transgender. People fear what they don't know. I educated myself.
The point is: a person can only treat others the way they treat themselves. The most intimate conection to another human being is themself. If you respect yourself, then you'll respect others. Secure people don't have the time and energy to harass others because it is against there nature. They are happy people. Happy people don't find the need to boost there self esteem by hurting others. When insecure poeple look for others to hurt and harass, believe me, the real problem is NOT where they are pointing.
Men Are Just Born This Way
That's life!
Those of you who are being immature and ignorant about this (you know who you are) are being shunned.
live how u want not how your told
I've got some seaside property in Arizona, if any of you are interested.
Very pretty in a normal kinda way!!
Good for her!!! And, yes, she looks much happier in the later photos. When I went through my transition, I also felt like I had finally become my "True Self" (innuendo for the knowing), and I'm now enjoying the second half of my life as I was meant to.
"Body Mutilation?" I don't think so; probably more along the lines of "Body Alignment".
And, yes, there seem to be a lot of comments from the haters...guess they have their issues. Lets just leave them in their gutter. Transgender folk seem to have a higher level of creativeness; we have to in order to deal with the haters in the world.
Good luck Lana!! Bis hugs!!!

Viva la Matrix !
