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.

  • Haven't painted my nails in a bit and for the best, got an interview tomorrow and I gotta look not too hot to intimidate the interviewers. I'll give it a month if I get in to secure my position before I get back to it, maybe finally get some high end nail polish and not the dollar store stuff I find.

    • Do feel nervous though, put off dating for the reason that I've no job. If this falls into place then I feel like I can try my hand dating and stuff, I've been feeling like my life's been on hold long enough. That'll be another phase to get through and I won't stop the self discovery/improvement stuff but it's something to look forward to. This year sucked for me but next year will be my year I know it.

    • good luck with the interview!
