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.

A few weeks ago I realized I wasn't paying attention and going too fast while drawing my anticistaminesut of the vial. I looked at my shot and it was like half bubble. So uhhh, I stopped shooting big bubbles into my leg. I think it's week 3 of taking an actual dose. On top of that, I lost the little bit of alcoholism related weight/bloating I had on my rum tum tumbly. Feeling really cute and content right now.

BUT I've been cutting myself shaving a bunch now, so I need to step up my hair removal game. What is the consensus on cheap/easy facial hair removal? Do I want an epilator?

  I'd also like to know
  
  How hatecrimed will I get if I just go to a random place that does laser hair removals on terf island? How do I find out if they're ok?
  
  if you're worried you could search (probably on Reddit) for recommendations from trans people. but I wouldn't be that worried, trans people make up a decent part of their clientele and laser techs are God's strongest allies in my experience. likely to be a pretty friendly environment and even though it's terf island UK doesn't seem to be at the stage where I would genuinely have those concerns yet, you're allowed to just use the service.
- I would not recommend epilating facial hair
  
  I can only agree. Did it for a while and I had ingrowns all the damn time. More painfull than anywhere else on my body too.
