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.

Ranma always brings me back, I had a friend in high school that recommended it to me, like she could tell I was about to crack to the slightest gender pressure.
They also removed the red star on the Mao suit hat
More believable when ranma complains that akanes hand-me-downs are too tight in the chest and too baggy in the waist lol
