Trans Megathread for the Week of November 11th, 2024 to November 17th, 2024
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.

honestly my only issue with playing as trans character in the game is the fact that you don't choose it at the character creation but after like 3h of game time. There's been atleast two situations where I've been able to discuss Gender with someone else. it's honestly very good for a triple a vidya gayme

Probably because Laura Kate Dale was a (trans) "culture consultant" on it. It's almost like if you just talk to the people you want to include in your games it will make it easier to do that
it was pretty fucked up, since you look into a mirror and there's also like scar related stuff there and you can never interact with the mirror again! it's fucked up
Laura Kate Dale
oh! she was involved? that's cool i think she was the first trans person i ever saw, excluding myself and to my knowledge
