Trans Megathread for the Week of November 11th, 2024 to November 17th, 2024

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.

:))))) new calf boots came in and they fit like a dream. Surprisingly comfortable too. Snagged them on a hell of a sale and they fit my big ass t girl feet :))))
- I need details, fellow bigfoot
  
  13.5 W as it turns out is not a very popular shoe size!
  
  I too am interested in larger shoes!
  
  13 WW here lol
  
  any leads? i refuse to use amazon and so far my local stores have nothing. I'm about to try random shoe sites I just ordered some croc stomps out of desperation 🤣
  
  Torrid is good for thicc feet. All the shoes I ordered fit quite comfortably. Onlymaker is tighter but better than typical fashion shoes (caveat: only have one pair with a square toe, so maybe the round/pointed ones are worse). Pleaser has "comfort width" that only goes up to size 11, but then has "pink label" that goes to 15 but it's all normal width . A size 14 Pleaser is much narrower and tighter than a Torrid 13. That's all I've tested right now. If you've got any recs let me know.
  
  Torrid stops at 13 unfortunately 😭 i did just order some bras from them now that i hit my target weight though i'm pumped none of the local places have my weird bra size either.
  
  I'm going to check out pleaser and onkymaker thank you for the recs!!
  
  I just got them off Torrid. It sounds really obvious once I said it aloud but going to plus sized women's fashion lines also means they got shoes for girls with big feet. I'm a women's size 12.5, and all their shoes are for wide sizes, so they're a little roomy on my feet but nothing two pairs of socks can't fix
  
  Yeah, Torrid's been a godsend for me. I just wish they had more styles and colors.
