This is re-writing and obfuscating history. The Matrix movies are huge and to try and associate them with women creators is to paint a picture of a Hollywood that was so very welcoming and supportive of women creators. All the way back in 1999.

That's the problem in a nutshell: The exclusion of women was, and is, the exclusion of female-bodied people. It had nothing to do with gender identities.

Wait they’re both trans now? Last I read an article about them only one was. Yikes what the fuck happened inside that family?

It’s an insult to how hard female film makers have found the industry- directors, speaking roles, everything aside and in between. You can’t retcon reality just because it’s inconvenient.

Dorothy Arzner, Ida Lupino, and the Matrix BROTHERS.

It's like those "one of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong" -- I guess this means all Bruce Jenner's awards now go under Women in Sport?

Ah yes, I remember the wackowski brothers (I don't care about spelling)

One woman director got pushed out from that list just so those two men could be in at her place. I'd really like to understand why is this happening. What is this return to mysoginy just when it looked like it was being near-defeated in some societies?

... so, did they re-release the movies with changed credits, or do they still say "Directed by The Wachowski Brothers" at the end?

This is interesting to me because all the movie sites use their neo-names for past releases, is it common for this to happen with others who change names via other means like marriage etc?
