A letter from a place not so far away · 9:08am Mar 3rd, 2021
important edit: please note that in the original story there is an asterisk with a few clarifications in the first comment to that story; the author's intended meaning was different than the one I got when I read it and when I had been publishing the text below.
My reply would not work and would not exist for the antagonist of Trixie Kicks a Bigot who advocates genocide.
I saw no such advocating in the first edition.

blame this story. I regret nothing
Dad, I hope you’ll be glad for me! I got permission to come through reality check in advance! Really in advance! So, two years until I graduate, I can already choose where and how I will be working.
Oops, I meant I passed it, but then you didn’t actually doubt me, did ya? I skipped a beat there. but… well. I’m just so excited!
It was easy too. They send a ray into your eyes, ask a few questions, and then you’re good to go! In fact, almost all the group with which I went passed it, it’s just I am younger than usual.
Lady Ocellus, the new Princess of Inclusiveness, said herself that I am likely to work okay under stallions, that I am perfect with alicorns around. They are majestic, between you and me, but then it’s not exactly polite to note that — ponies can choose to be alicorns, it’s not like they are better than anypony else. I still feel sometimes that I need to bow, but still, my results are in the tier one after the test. I know that in fact we are equal. That we should be. Sorry, I know you will disagree, it’s just right to say it. Pleasant to write it, even. I love you, but… you know, when the adults say that you’re right? I didn’t get much of that from you, to be frank.
Oh, not helping? I will not strike it out, that would be dishonest.
Also, in unlikely case of need, she said, I can consult school counselor, they will care and hear me out, in private.
Speaking of which, I still have some issues with non-binaries, and in the future it may deny me government position. No hard feelings, dad, they work on an experimental treatment to correct wrong pathways. They already healed one pony who believed that we live on a giant ball! I am really looking forward to know more, and maybe test it once Dusk will release it to the public (I write Dusk, not Twilight Sparkle, he asks for this name now. He went through the change… well… not so long ago, but you were detained sent to get some rest then already). My curiosity is 11 out of 12, and I am not like these antivaxxers. Government knows what’s best, and it will help.
Maybe it will help you too, dad.
Really, I hope.
Why did you say that in the Trixie’s face? Why?
I miss you.
Yours,
Reliant Preach Distant Light
In regards to the edit at the start, it's been changed back to "I'd think what I would*" again but with an asterisk included. There's no further comment about it.

Thanks, I made a placeholder edit, then. It will be changed according to the original's author final decision.
edit: final edit is in place.
