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'm gonna talk about autogynophelia

    spoiler

    Autogynophelia is literally just E horniness, I swear to god. Have you read a lot of erotica written by cis women? They focus on all the same shit we do, how hot we look, how sexy whatever parts are, etc. What we experience is exactly the same just given a different name by people who would say our womanhood doesn't count. Well it is the same, and it does count and no one can ever take it away.

    If you ever have issues with intimacy or self-intimacy, just embrace the AuToGyNoPhElIa. It's normal to think you're sexy and you're hot, in fact it's encouraged. Fuck anyone who says it's ersatz femininity or not as legitimate as cis womanhood. All women are made, none are born.
