And now that they have they should be called “…Sisters” for one unit of time and one unit of intensity more than they were called "The Wachowski [wrong name]s.
I remember back in the day, they were call the wrong name alot.
As is calling almost anybody “they”, but you can still feel when it’s said as a way to avoid saying “she”.
Unfortunately in addition to the ignorant you mentioned there are also those who want to avoid making waves with the above group. In many ways they are worse than the outright hateful and why I feel it’s so important to pointedly say, “…Sisters” and start a fight avoiding is more harmful than having.
Sure, but being neutral in the face of oppression is taking the oppressors’ side, and why I stressed above the importance of flagrantly referring to them as Sisters.
No one called them “The Wachowskis” before they were outed, no one calls them “The Wachowski Sisters” now.
Fucked I tell you, because I remember distinctly how excessively that other inaccurate name for them was bandied about.

This might be out of hate, for sure.
Is there a chance it’s just… for no reason?
I see the sisters here being praised by the mainstream press:
…and on Wiki, where they’re carefully following their defensible-though-arguable deadname policy, referred to as the parent commenter did.
I see why you’re suspicious! Wouldn’t it be grand if it’s happenstance? (I can dream right?)
