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.

Well, there's a metal show that I really want to go to in a few weeks, and I am not sure how I want to go. I want to dress femme, but it is in a different (relatively progressive?) city and I would be on my own. I would obviously look gender non-conforming, so I am worried about harassment. Probably not at the show itself, but just walking to and from the venue. However, I hate having gone to these shows before looking like a basic-ass white boy.
Metal heads and punks are usually supportive and used to gender non confirming people (I've found)
