MODERATORS
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.

OH MY GOSH I almost forgot to mention some progress I made today. I was trying to set up Bluetooth in the car, and it always repeats certain phrases back at me. I dread it for this exact reason, and I've avoided setting it up until now with that being one of many reasons. However, it had to happen, so I went to do it and put on my best fem voice. Imagine my shock when it spits my voice back out at me, and it sounds like a mature woman! I don't even know how I did it, and I don't want to listen to it again in case it ruins what might be magic, but in that moment I felt such intense euphoria. I then enjoyed the convenience of having my music on Bluetooth while no longer having to deal with my static-ridden aux cable.
Wish my voice was more refined
You'll get there with practice, that's for sure! I try to be really positive when posting these things, but I'm not 100% yet and my voice is not very refined. It will get there though, it just takes practice and time.
That's wonderful! It might prove frustrating to get that voice back but in my experience every time you do manage to find it, it gets easier to find next time.
I think I'm starting to get the technique down, it's just a matter of continuing to practice and phasing out my old voice. I'm very socially awkward and very easily embarrassed when it comes to using my voice with any sort of effort, so I'm hoping I'll be able to push through in groups of new people and slowly just get used to that being my voice with my old/now voice becoming the voice that feels weird to do. I'm very excited for that!
Awesome! I remember the first time I practiced in conversation withy best friend and she was really encouraging about it which helped a lot. Trans friends are also great for this, even if it's just online on VC. I'm excited for you :3
Hell yes, I'm so happy for you! I've been getting a little better at it too and it feels good
