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!

So now we have a trans Linux mascot. And I think that's neat.

It's not something I've wanted to happen or even particularly dreaded, but adults of all stripes warned me at my young tender age that it would happen. Well? Just cause they were drifting along in a haze doesn't mean that's my fate. That's on them. Reminds me that there's people who say they get in a car, drive to work, and then realize they don't remember any of their drive. But doing that for everything I guess
