Hey, does the meme that Debian = queer women (queer trans women?) have any specific origin point? Asking because I'm a big old cis/het dude, and I use Debian, so I'm really curious.

#FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource #Linux #Debian

@OrionKidder I thought that started with a simple meme "Debian: the GNU/Linux distribution for Lesbians" many years ago just because both words sounded similar.
@herzenschein Ah, that makes sense. That's the kind of thing that snowballs.
@OrionKidder i've always assumed it's this image that started that

@dog_dyke_dawn My god. That's amazing. It reminds me of "the red pill" from #TheMatrix: hard to believe it's not on purpose, and then you find out both the Wachowskis are trans women.

Were any of the early developers of Debian trans women?

@dog_dyke_dawn (I am a huge, unrepentant fan of #TheWachowskiSisters, and a good friend of mind, who is a trans man, clocked their movies as HELLA trans way early, so I know some of the references.)
@OrionKidder I'm unsure if any of the early devs were trans women, but while trying to find an answer (i was curious too) i stumbled upon this: https://github.com/subalterngames/transbian maybe I oughta try debian again...
