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.

HRT Moments
Just gave a woman her first injection! She has been on pills for a while, and wanted to give injections a try. I love doing this for my trans comrades. It is really intimate and fun.

I'm a little scared for the future as I'm on pills but the possibility of losing access to them is looking more and more real. I really don't like needles and I feel like I'd be in trouble if that's my only option for HRT. I hope I can find a based trans comrade to help me if that comes to pass
Gels are fairly affordable as diy
I know sublinguals are also a thing and with this in mind, would something like candies you suck on or dissolve in your mouth work? Imagine taking pop rocks laced with E.
Oooh I forgot gel existed. I'll keep that in mind
spoiler
I understand, dear comrade. This is a very valid fear. There are possibilities for diy hrt should this come to pass. Estrogel is not difficult to make, and we have communities can provide our hormones amongst us should the state start restricting our medical care. Not saying that there will not be lean times, but there is a way forward.

Thank you comrade, I needed to hear that

We’re gonna get thru this.
