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.

The trading platforms work too, I've done the ID verification thing before too it's just a lot more frustrating and time consuming ime and you have to do it multiple times cuz trading platforms are always collapsing lol. Ofc what scares me about either way is the Bitcoin ledger being completely open and all transactions being visible cuz of... privacy concerns
Going from cryptocurrency-to-cryptocurrency on the sites is easier too ime, so if you have Bitcoin already you can have a lot more privacy if you choose to invest your money in Monero perhaps
