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.

Trans is usually defined as having a gender identity that’s different from your sex, so yeah. But words are just words, you don’t gotta go along with some definition.
Different from your AGAB, nobody assigns you a sex at birth because they just take a quick look at your junk and say “yep, it’s a boy” or w/e. The construct of biological sex is way too complicated and messy to be determined like that, and the sex / gender distinction has been hijacked by terfs anyway.
