    But that implies anyone could look like anyone else.

    I would assume the machines hook the brains up into the matrix, generating the body based on DNA and what the brain expects, not based on a scan or something. Which would mean that in the matrix there’s no trans people because noone has a body they don’t vibe with but it also means that you can’t just wish yourself to grow a couple of centimetres or such.

      That’d be the inverse to the first one: Switch pops out into the real world and goes “well this is some bullshit.”

      Though it has head-scratching implications for the matrix being the false reality representing systemic et cetera.
