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.

But actually it's very convenient that you'd be the one to reply, because I owe you an apology. You may or may not be aware of this, but I wrongly believed you were guilty of the harassment that occurred during this most recent struggle session, and stated as much in a discussion with another user.
I'm sorry for suspecting you, as well as for spreading incorrect information during an already turbulent time.
I hope it gets better
You deserve lots of happiness
yeah i came back and had no idea whats going on, like that one meme from community where the guy walks back in with the pizza to see the place on fire. DW about it though, completely forgiven, especially since you apologized. Your mental health is more important than a site beef also so make sure to take breaks if its getting too much.
