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.

        my general procedure is: -join a normal crypto trading market, with ID verification etc. it's annoying to verify but then ur sorted. -buy bitcoin -download a wallet such as electrum -transfer the crypto to yourself

        paying for hrt on clearnet greymarket sites, which is the most typical route, is usually done in bitcoin. it's insecure, but it doesn't matter because E isn't controlled and no one really cares about T. like it's largely viewed as a bodybuilder steroid.

        so if ur getting hormones from either a steroid site or an E seller, that's basically all

        if u need to access the darknet, you are likely to need XMR rather than bitcoin. XMR is harder to get. in this situation, there are sites that will let u exchange bitcoin for XMR. you must make sure it's a site that doesn't take ur personal infos. tbh if u need darknet access message me cuz there is a whole lot of stuff i would need to explain, and it's unlikely u would need it for hormones.
