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.

::: spoiler personal growth, net positive ig, tttt words
Got emotionally critical hit by a single sentence someone i know and look up to said earlier tonight and like, it was so pin point accurate that it basically made me feel all my inadequacies and spent like 30 minutes crying alone in a darkened room listening to ethel cain songs and then came out of it feeling like a new person.
Basically the upshot of this is that ive been reexaming a lot of my habits and i think im going to do away with thinking in terms of like AGP / HSTS bullshit and other tttt dumb shit. Also i deleted my twitter account. its weird, i feel very at peace rn in a way i haven't felt in a long time.
Idk i might also check out of hb after 4 years here or so ig. Imo having a single comment affect my psyche so much i reach inner peace and completely log off is honestly way, way, way funnier of a bit than adding this ⬇️ as my pfp could ever have been
It sounds pretentious and dumb but like, i get now this concept of zen inner peace now, i feel completely calm, like resentments and dislikes i felt before dont mean as much as they did before

Blanchard is BS, free your mind.I'm gonna talk about autogynophelia
spoiler spoiler Autogynophelia is literally just E horniness, I swear to god. Have you read a lot of erotica written by cis women? They focus on all the same shit we do, how hot we look, how sexy whatever parts are, etc. What we experience is exactly the same just given a different name by people who would say our womanhood doesn't count. Well it is the same, and it does count and no one can ever take it away.
If you ever have issues with intimacy or self-intimacy, just embrace the AuToGyNoPhElIa. It's normal to think you're sexy and you're hot, in fact it's encouraged. Fuck anyone who says it's ersatz femininity or not as legitimate as cis womanhood. All women are made, none are born. :::

i think internalizing those words in any serious way is definitely not good, tho my tgcj brain still enjoys them ironically. if it's messing with you tho, probably good to get past it
