Not that estrogen was ever packaged as a red or red-ish pill, that's probably true, but that it was the actual intent at the time. There's quotes, sure, but those have a weird post-hoc, KultureKampf "point-scoring" feel to them. The pills in the Matrix don't even look like pharmaceuticals to me, more like some sort of sci-fi prop, but that might be taking it too literally as the claims generally only go so far to call it a "trans metaphor".
