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.

Not sure what to do. High dose estrogen injections + progesterone is causing a bit of breast growth, but also mild acne and (more crucially) unwanted body hair growth.

Maybe I stop progesterone for two weeks and see what happens?

[โ€“] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

are you sure it's the progesterone and not unwanted T levels that's causing those things?

hmmm, can't say I know enough about it to say it shouldn't do that but it seems unusual. i hope you can figure it out anyways, progesterone can be a bit of a mystery drug for sure

[โ€“] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There are some other people who have had similar reactions.

[โ€“] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

can I ask have you been on it for long?

[โ€“] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For about three months and these effects became apparent afterwards and also before changing my estrogen which is why I think it's the progesterone.

that sucks, sorry you're dealing with that. i hope you can fully confirm the cause anyway. prog can be finicky I had to get off it for a while before because it made my mood swings much worse.
