Xenia, the fox girl mascot of Linux, was first designed in 1996 by Alan Mackey. She was meant to be an alternative to Tux, the official mascot.
She had fallen into obscurity, but was noticed by a Twitter user in 2019 and was redrawn as a fox girl. But as it turned out, Xenia was originally meant to be male! The original creator, Alan, was cool with this, saying “It matches the transition of a lot of the smartest, nerdiest Linux users I know” and “And sure, you made her trans!”.
So now we have a trans Linux mascot. And I think that’s neat.

thank you i actually typically warn people about it, because for some reason it has a high rate among trans people. the condition i mean. not like i tell people not to take it, just to watch out for the symptoms so they can make the connection if it happens with prog. my (only) cis friend also has the condition and it gets worse every month during her cycle.
that seems v reasonable. i hope that things work out and u get the results u are looking for, whatever u end up doing with prog.
