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 stand in the women’s room usually (blessed with no american style gaps under the stalls where i live lol)
if it looks empty when i go in I just stand too it’s way more hygienic and faster! but if there are women already in stalls that don’t see that i’m trans I usually sit just so they don’t get afraid that there’s a big man in the women’s room with 'em (I’m quite tall)
I doubt it matters much though so far I haven’t gotten anything but smiles and politeness using the ladies. As is right.
