No Transexuals in Harry Potter?

[Stavros]

There was a transexual character in "The Matrix" story -- itself a rehash of generations of myth and allegory.
Can anyone guess who?

No, unless its Trinity...??

This was actually a light-hearted not an earnest topic that I generated, I cant deny that if Harry Potter has got people reading books on that level it is a welcome success. If there was a serious point it was that Rowling has trawled through so much pre-existing literature, and uses a public school model for Hogwarts, and is clued into youth culture and so on -whatever, it doesn't have to be there.

It was Switch. She was written as a transgender who was female within the Matrix -- since within the Matrix you are a digital reflection of your mental self -- and male in the "real world".

It was changed so as not to "confuse" the audience.
One of the Wachowski's is transgendered.
