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.

fucking white queer libs i am so fucking done i was on this nice ace kink server, with my partner partner notices a sus profile, and i autotranslate the hebrew on it, and it's a clear zionist. i even asked my friend who speaks hebrew and he told me it was an israeli nationalist slogal. i alert the mods about this, and the mod i speak to says they'll talk to the other mods.

they tell me to suck it up and they won't do anything. it's not a political space after all (LIKE FUCKING HELL IT ISN'T). this was already too far but i didn't do anything, except privately explain to the mod that this was the wrong decision and why, and ask they convey that to the rest of the mod team.

next day a mod shuts down a conversation that drifted into politics.

so i just fucking posted a song in solidarity with palestine, announced i was leaving because the server is tolerating zionists, and left. wish i'd posted screenshots of the mod convo before i left but hindsight is 20/20 i guess. i was told afterwards by a member that this guy had been much more vocal about his zionism on another server and caused a whole drama.

just. how hard is it to not include reactionaries in queer spaces? this place would boot out anyone who came in with fascist profile shit. zionism is a form of fascism but somehow that doesn't count? like no fash but sure, you support an ethnostate actively committing genocide, why don't you come into our safe space? well great, now there is no safe space. i loved that place. it was the only social space i felt safe in a sexual sense.

does anyone have a recommendation of a queer kink discord server than does not include zionists?

Confronting Zionism as a fascistic movement means coming to terms with Settler Colonialism as a fascistic movement, and liberals aren't comfortable with that because they are live in those states. It's perfectly okay to feel bad about Settler Colonialism after the fact, and it's actually awesome when they all die off (to the Liberal mind) because they can't correct you and you get to claim them as the ideological founders of your state that makes it distinct from Europe and distances you more from the ongoing project of Settler Colonialism. Being anti zionist is the Sina Qua Non of real internationalism - it's one of the perfect crystal clear deliniations between the labour aristocrats and proles, the ones the international bourgeois can count on to defend financial imperialism and its rougher forms in the metropole and the ones who will be a problem to the system of Empire should they ever gain power.

Anyway, no sorry I don't like discord. Hope you find one. Or just do munches irl I guess, might find a good space if you go to people in the lifestyle

Hi everyone! I (Luna) made this account just in time for a bit of an announcement in terms of my gender thoughts:I've decided to go with the flow as of late, and the flow took me in a very interesting direction. I've given it some thought, and I realized something: What is gender to me? What do I want out of it exactly, and what do I consider gender to be? Sure, I wanted to present more feminine, and I felt the best way to do that was to be a woman. Is that the case, though? It was a pretty lousy assumption, to be honest. I knew I wanted to start feminizing HRT, but does that inherently make anyone a woman? No, they're a woman if they want to be, simple as. Do I want to be a woman? Maybe, but at the same time, what do I really want out of it specifically? Do I worry about playing the role perfectly at every turn, am I bothering to play a role? Isn't that what I'm trying to avoid? Shouldn't I just be trying to be myself? Why do certain things, like coming up with a name, seem so difficult for me, why do I struggle to identify with anything, why do I feel like she/her pronouns work some times and not others, why do I feel like other pronouns work some times and not others (still hate he/him though)? Why does gender seem to encroach on my sense of self at times? Am I trying to conform to a binary I wasn't meant to conform to? Why does this give me such doubt, why do I feel doubt about this stuff? It's not even about my transness, I know I am, I've known that I am, and I don't even see myself as cis at the worst of times anymore, but where does that leave me?

Recently, I've been exploring new pronouns. I asked you all to vote on pronouns for election day, and I honestly vibed with all of them. Okay, maybe not pup/pup's, but would it really piss me off if someone used that? No. I realized all of the pronouns out there (minus he/him) sound great, and feel like they could fit, and I don't mind being called by those pronouns. At the same time though, there are times where it feels like nothing fits. This sums up my thoughts, it feels like no matter what gender I try to realize for myself, no matter what I try to identify as, something goes wrong. I feel trapped, I feel like there's always a limit, even if there isn't necessarily.

A bit ago, I said that the label of demigirl fits me best, and it was the label I first identified with after my egg cracked. What I forgot, both in memory and mention, was that my egg didn't originally crack that day a few months ago. It cracked much earlier, and I had already internalized that identity. I may have presented cis (and not really been a fan), but the identity itself felt like it fit me. I'm fucking weird, I don't fit into anywhere, anything, and that probably applies to gender. I may feel dysphoria at times, may feel the need to cling onto gender in a desperation to have a sense of self, but I am not my gender. I am a human being, with the same level of identity as any other, regardless of what my gender identity may be.

So, it's time for the gender reveal gender-reveal. You may have been getting an idea based on what I have been saying, but I think that being agender is simply where I want to be hexbear-agender. By forsaking gender entirely, I eliminate the endless struggle. I can present however I want to, do whatever I want to (although I could as any gender, this is how it feels for me) without feeling like my sense of self is constantly shifting. I am who I am, beyond gender. What I want for my physical appearance, or how I want to act in the moment, doesn't change that.

I feel like it's going to be tough to let go. I could just be in the middle of a very long 10% agender arc. I could wake up tommorow and decide I want to be a woman again, gender is a fuck and I'm not going to pretend I understand it. For now, though, I'm going to identify as I want to, as I feel most comfortable. I know I do this at least every other week, to the point where it could be a site meme, but I really do feel that every time I start to grasp something, it's like a breakthrough. If this one sticks, cool! I've found it out. If it doesn't, cool! I've still found something out. So, that's me. I'll leave a bit of extra content/context below, but I'm excited to see where my journey brings me, and I always have been, even if it's really confusing ralsei-pout

I'm making this account in an attempt to shift my account from a gendered name to a username. It should also hold up if things are to change (I have no confidence that it won't). Anyway, I felt like I needed the fresh start. A lot has changed in the past few months. Also, I've noticed that how I act greatly reflects how I present, and that includes online. So, changing my account might change that as well.

If I backtrack on this in a week, I'm blaming the carousel hexbear-genderfluid explosion

Had a bit of a moment there where I was like "wait, I don't have she/her pronouns on my profile anymore", and then it took a split second to realize it's covered by "any" and I don't have to worry about the specifics anymore screm-cool

Also don't have to worry about doing the whole neopronoun rotation thing or filling my bio with specific neopronouns because, lets be honest, most if not all of them were going to be added to that list eventually.

I set up Fedora on the extra PC and turned that into a media center for my partner and then shortly after I was like fuck it and switched to Fedora on my main PC too. I am now Windows free screm-cool

Just feel shitty and miserable I guess. Trying to resist the urge. The spiral just keeps going, I feel like I have no control over how I feel.

Why am I this way and when will it end. This constant loop is awful and I can't keep going with it.

spoilerAt this point I think your biggest trigger is being stuck at your parents place and not able to come out as trans or at least dress en femme at home. Hopefully that changes

spoilerIt feels like the problem is who I am. Can't stop thinking about suicide. Whatever, I don't have a method so no reason to post this shit. Just going to keep writing in my diary.

But yea, that would be nice. Keep working towards it ig.

CW: Eating disorder, dysphoria, alcoholism

Things were really going well until I had to eat today. No drinking, no serious cravings, worked all day so I was distracted, it was great. I've been on a really good streak recently, I haven't even started Naltrexone yet and I'm feeling good on that. I didn't eat yesterday and I didn't really want to eat tonight but I made myself eat so of course I ate way too much and feel guilty about it. It makes me feel dysphoric too because like oh am I not worth transitioning for? I feel like I've gotten worse looking everyday in my transition, and much of it is my fault. Cig stains on my teeth, shitty skin from a few years of drinking and generally being malnourished yet bloated because of my vices

When I'm not sober, I am passively bullemic, no thought goes into it, but I'm vomiting all the time and eating too much, or not eating at all depending on the day. I was just like that. Now I still have to fight those habits except there's intent behind them now. Now instead of not eating because I forgot, I don't eat because I don't want to. Now instead of just naturally binging, I do it in response to stress. Maybe I was always like this and just forgot who I really was before I ever started drinking.

Does anyone have experience getting their gender marker corrected on their social security (US)? I have the passport appointment scheduled, and will be ponying up to get that fast tracked, but I a bit confused on the SSN process, specifically when it comes to ID. It sounds like I'd need to mail in an ID if I want to do it by mail, and I am worried about documents getting lost. Is anyone familiar with the in-person process?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

When i did social security i took my court ruling to the ss offices and took a number. They called me up after a while and gave me paperwork to fill out. Then they did a thing in their systems and said i was all set, and the changes should be live the next day. The paperwork is also available online if you want to fill it out beforehand, to save some time.

Id really like to start taking voice training seriously but i find it so hard to do it consistently like so much in my life (thanks adhd). Ive been thinking a lot about what sort of voice i want too but im not sure how to achieve it really. Getting gendered correctly when i tried to use a higher, friendlier and more traditionally feminine voice but its not what i really want really? I think i want something like a cross between the two voice actors for V from cyberpunk. Mostly staying at my current register or even a little deeper maybe with some of the growl from the male VA but with like a distinctly feminine sound but still reaaaally fuckin cool like the female VA. Is such a thing even possible?? Am i poser for wanting to sound like a videogame character?? How would i even achieve this

unrelated realizations i had ab some of my seggsual preferences nsfw read at your peril


Because of a meme video i somehow stumbled into the world of asmr rp I knew i leaned towards the submissive somewhat but uhhhhh holy shit? Turns out under the right circumstances i can literally have a super intense full body orgasm without doing literally anything if someone with the right voice says the right words And i dont feel icky at all like when i masturbate, its a completely different feeling that has absolutely nothing to do with genital stimulation. Its more like my soul is rejoicing and my body is expressing it??? I dont know what to do with this information yet but it does make me a little sad There are so many things that i wish i had known about myself earlier and this is definitely one of them. Im such a broken person at this point and i cant change the past but i... cant help but feel some sorrow for my younger self
