    Part of it is that they didn’t transition at the same time, so The Wachowskis was appropriate for a period of time.

      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.

        I agree. I just don’t think most people stopped and thought about it since Wachowskis is still technically valid. This discussion is a start.

          still technically valid.

          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.
