I don't really get the sense of this from the movie. The movie is straight up Gnosticism in a cyberpunk form, in the sense it appeared in during history. Kind of an offshoot of Christianity. You even get the main villain being the demiurge with Neo as the Gnostic Christ who frees us from the evil God's reign through his death. there's a lot of gnostic concepts, such as the world being an illusion that is only revealed through secret knowledge, and the need to awaken people to reality. I kind of feel this is more Lily's transition coloring her past. If it were about trans even if the studio were against it, you'd see a lot more body fluidity or the focus would be a lot different.
