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.

      I've no clue to be honest

      depression/alcoholism

      After I quit drinking been doing way more gnc stuff so idk, seemed to help me out and while my dad was blind to it all my mom was hesitant but came around eventually. I don't exactly remember how long after she had that dream when I started getting healthier but I'm happy for it either way. Right now going the hexbear-non-binary route, which I've no clue how to translate that in spanish to them, but I'm happy to know if I ever do go she/her that she's accepting.
