Scootaloo has been questioning their gender identity for months after a number of revealing incidents leave them confused and frustrated. After an enlightening conversation with Rainbow Dash, they finally understand who they are: Non-binary!

This was really sweet! Great job on the story. I noticed the chapter says it was written in November but only published this month. Nervous about posting, I assume? In that case, you can feel free to disregard those downvotes: there are assholes going to downvote every story with pride flags.

Once there, Scootaloo let go, and Rainbow opened the front door, beaconing them in. If it had been any other day, Scootaloo might have taken time to gawk at the surroundings, but right now they just needed to get these thoughts off their chest. Rainbow Dash lead them to the kitchen and began preparing two cups of tea, waiting for Scootaloo to begin talking.

Beaconing should be beckoning.

Thank you so much (;^ω^)
Tbh, I kinda forgot about this story with everything that's been going on in the world, which is why it took so long to publish

I really appreciate the comment!
This was sort of autobiographical; I tried to put into words how I felt when I was first coming to terms with my own identity, but I also just really like the idea that Scootaloo is non-binary in the show.

This is good, always happy to see non-binary rep in fics

"So, are you a colt or a filly?" It seemed like such an innocent question, but Scootaloo didn't know how to respond.

Why's Scootaloo talking to Professor Oak? :rainbowwild:

He shows up at the worst moments

"I'm so proud of you."

Alright Alright, I guess I'm allowed to cry

I'm really late responding to comments, but thank you so much for the kind words. I based a lot of the writing on my own feelings from when I first came out as nonbinary. I'm glad I was able to portray how it feels for other people, not just myself, when figuring out the confusing mess that is gender

There probably won't be a sequel, but if I ever come up with a way to continue this story, I'll definitely write about it

A beautiful story 🌈

okay but what was their reaction argh D:

This story is genuinely cute! As an enby, it speaks to me on a personal level. Although, I do wish I had some kind of Rainbow Dash in my journey to help clear up that confusion.

A lovely story, a headcanon I fully embrace. Bravo ❤

yeah it would've done me lots

I love this, the end reminds me a lot of my coming out

A week later, Scootaloo stood in front of their friends, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, prepared to tell them probably the most important thing they would ever need to tell them. They looked up to their right to see Rainbow Dash give them a encouraging smile, gently nudging them with her outstretched wing.

Please know that I only comment this to show my intense admiration of this wonderful (and deeply personal) story.

Would you mind if I suggest alternative phrasing for the remaining CMC as a two pony group? Like it's very clear what is going on. That's fine. It's just I have a thing about pronoun stuff in fanfic...

The alternation of singular to plural they them usage is slightly jarring. In a story that otherwise (to my eye) reserves they them for Scootaloo themself.

Like great stuff. Super nice to hear a Rainbow Dash go this heavily into super ally and smart mode because that is a treat in and of itself!

International thoughts of this stage of self understanding and gender thoughts.

Like being content for now about not needing a new name just yet is epicly mature. Scootaloo always rocked but this is something else.
