redpilled is from the matrix, not sure what the relation to estrogen is there. What's the origin of based?
The directors of Matrix are both trans and afaik said that the movie is an analogy.
Based is a slang term that originally meant to be addicted to crack cocaine (or acting like you were), but was reclaimed by rapper Lil B for being yourself and not caring what others think of you—to carry yourself with swagger.
The matrix is a trans allegory and based is from lil B, aka BasedGod
based comes from freebasing crack cocaine, lil b the Based God really popularized it's usage. It's 80's hip hop slang.
The directors of the matrix are both trans, and confirmed that it was an allegory. Trans people are usually faced with the dilemma of repressing their identity (blue pill) or transitioning (red pill).
to add to the other comments, afaik estrogen pills were usually red when the matrix was made.
