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.

Medical gatekeeping, but I'm continuing to make progress
My surgeon is really trying to get a third letter in support of surgery because he's clearly nervous that this is new to him and tbf majority of other surgeons. I have a current therapist that I'm asking him to talk to as the third person, but he shouldn't need more than two letters.
I'm trying very hard to stay understanding of everyone else's anxiety regarding my situation, but sometimes I just want to scream at them.

A positive (nsfw) story
I hope this isn't oversharing, but I saw my girlfriend for the first time recently and it went so well.
Every time it was my turn to top, I kept using the same dildo that was pretty much the exact size I wanted from surgery (and was before surgery too). When I told her I liked that one cause it felt validating, she said she bought it because it seemed like exactly what I described to her. I could have cried haha. She never told me she was doing that, she just wanted to be as supportive as possible
Keep at it. Your surgeon’s a god in his own right. He will take perfect care of you like he did me.
