The whole concept of a ‘Red Pill’ comes from the 1999 movie the Matrix, where Laurence Fishburn gives Keanu Reeves a red pill that reveals the world is a lie created to oppress humanity. Besides the fact that this movie is actually very left wing, arguably an example of the very ‘cultural leftism’ so despised by the alt right, think about how the concept of a ‘red pill’ is similar to the motivations for believing in conspiracies, as defined by political scientist Michael Barkun:

also the movie was directed by two transwomen, there actually a lot of transgender community references in it that everyone misses
Jaxon Kelly

It is a very amusing how Holla Forums demagoguery is ridiculously blue pilled by their definition, ie. based fully and solely on an internally structured, closed-circuit narrative guarded by a mentality and vernacular of a high-school clique. It is quite the opposite of taking a pill of enlightenment, and everything to do with willing indoctrination guided by a somewhat willing ignorance of the big other.

Well first off the whole pill thing. There is a common meme in the transgender community, a rather ancient one at that, that if you had the option of either taking a medication that would cure you of your gender dysphoria, or take HRT, what choice would you make. When you break this bargain down, it is literally the whole red pill vs blue pill analogy.
Also don't forget: transgender people take pills in the first place.
The entire Neo character arc is a long analogy for transition in general, and some thing make much more sense when you view it like that. Why for example does Agent Smith call Neo "Mr. Anderson," well, he's dead naming him.
A lot of red pill vs blue pill analogies fail to really explain the Agent Smith dynamic at all, his existence makes 0% sense in the way the alt-right uses the term. Keep in mind that the agents enforce the blue pill perspective, while at the same time Agent Smith HATES it. The agents are clearly *agents* in society which want to stop transition but what of Smith?

Who attacks transgender people and wants them back in their place, while simultaneously hating society at large? That's right, Agent Smith is a fucking analogy of a TERF.
There are a lot of other things, like the character of switch was originally suppose to Swap genders in and out of the matrix, and this entire thought experiment of switches character probably was the impetuous which started the movie in the creators heads.
