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 saw a gender affirming doctor the other day and it’s really funny because they were unsure about upping my finasteride to higher dose because it might have side effects, and they were like “don’t you just want oestrogen?”. And I’m like “pretty sure that would have more side effects”.
Doing baseline bloods though in case I do decide and I’ve just upped the finasteride anyway.
What kind of results are you seeing on finasteride, anyway?
Head hair which was already thick has gotten much thicker. I shave and IPL which is a confounding factor but body hair is noticeably thinner and slower to regrow (even in areas I don’t laser like my back because I can’t reach). Mild breast growth. No mood issues. No changes to sexual function.
