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.

I just bumped into the evil version of me today. You know the one who is prettier and richer than you with a fancier sounding similar name to you with an obnoxious laugh and she’s really mean and has a gaggle of obnoxious friends? Yeah that one. She’s a removed
my cool mental health
doing a good job holding in the scream right now. i have to do two things today and it is literally destroying me
misgendering
Cissies see me breasting boobily and still refer to me as a guy. Wild how oblivious they are
I love how there are different paths to enlightenment like Teks for growing mushrooms. Some people talk about them very similarly and it makes me happy.
British people don’t know anything
Did some gender yesterday, applied for a manual job so put some insoles in my shoes to get to 6’ and put some suspenders on to make myself look stronger
. I probably was gonna get the job anyway but wanted to impress and try something. Gender sure is stuff, I know on the other end growing up I always thought girls with eye shadow where hot as hell and then I tried eye shadow and found out I got the same stat boost 
honestly I can fuck with all make up other than lipstick since I like to eat stuff.I tried switching to Linux Mint like… 5 or 6 years ago but I had some problems getting work-critical software to play nice so I ended up doing the walk of shame back to Win10.
Someone gave me their old computer so it seems like a good opportunity to experiment with Linux again since it won’t be interfering with my primary PC. I don’t know much about distros, is Linux Mint still the best choice for Windows refugees or do I have other options?
i am attempting a scientific experiment. i have been using a plant oil that is supposed to act as a topical antiandrogen that reduces sensitivity to androgens in the places u rub it in, leading to less hair. i have been using it on my face for a couple weeks and it feels like it’s changing.
BUT
i plan to conduct an experiment on my arm hairs. i’m gonna do the exact same hair removal on each arm, but i’m gonna put the oil on one arm, for 6 months. i will report on the results.
dumbest girl alive here with another sticky & steamy update!
kink / bodily function stuff
so i had my partner record my peeing outside like a girl in my fishnets & skirt & having a v good time of it. & like i wasn’t doing it for my partner or so that i could share the video online or whatever. i did it for myself, it all came naturally, i felt hot. like. fuck. i’m healing? lmao
back to work today but not in spirit. my spirit will be webfishing and seeing how fast I can mash the meow button.
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.
“What do you really want from your body?”
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
Any recommendation for makeup tutorials for feminizing contour application?
Any time you question if you’re trans or cis, you have to add another trans to transgender
speaking of lewd
bedroom stuff update
so uh sex is a thing now i guess? like often in a way where i suddenly feel 10 years younger. been able to do a lot of work & make a lot of progress with my issues regarding sex & am genuinely v proud
anyway yeah a certain someone got a rough awakening just before dawn
