Reposted with stuff that wasn't here the first time (It must have been a bad copy past job on my part, it helps the story tremendously!)
Scootaloo was always ready to tell to everyone who asked her, what she was, a girl! Duh! But then there are night time thoughts, which gently make her question who she really is.
There is no clear answer in the story, and I don't intend it to be. I planned this around, so it would end right at this point.
I have my own idea of what she is, but let's go by a "Death of the Author" view on this, okay? (Which means that the author's views have no more significance than any of the reader's ones)
I hope you enjoy it, and if you do want to tell us what you think, then just comment!
[ 17/8/14 Edited, plenty of small details, I had in my mind while writing, but which didn't make the story in the first place (now there), more to life Scootaloo (changed her personality a tad, in the story), several errors corrected.
I have added this story to the list of transpony stories I maintain on my userpage as well as the same list on the List of Transpony Stories On And Off Fimfiction thread on the Transgender Bronies group. Also, everyone, if you know about more transpony stories that are not on my list, please let me know.
I really liked this story. It can be so difficult to start to question and one's path to it often has things that may not be the right reasoning (after all, one can be a really femme trans colt) but it gets one there. Those flash backs were a good fit. Scootalooo has a really high level of immersion in them, that is for sure.
This is yes much good.
I like the idea of this story, but it could really use some editing. The scenes are rather hard to follow, as you often skimp on the broad details. It feels like you have a good idea in your head of where the story takes place, so you aren't including all of the details we need to construct that same scene. Also, I don't really get the impression that we are reading about Scootaloo here. Most of the story is devoted to a fairly standard struggle over identity, which doesn't utilize Scootaloo's character much. For example, when the other fillies teased her(?) for drawing a shark, I imagine her teasing them back. Also, her conversation with Sweetie Belle is very one-sided, and doesn't resonate with their camaraderie in the show. I know the story is about Scootaloo's gender identity, but she would have her own way of discussing that, and I feel like that would be a stronger story.
4863733 I edited it a tad, please tell me your opinion, later. Thank you
A rooster?
4874633 It's the male version of a chicken, is it not? At least I didn't put "Cock" instead.
that'd be awkward
Not the best, but certainly sweet. Have a like and a fav.
Loved the way you described Scootaloo's drawing and the care and pride she took in her shark.
4874744 It was a rhetorical question.
4878493 My answer too was rhetorical, but it seemed our two rhetorical cancelled each other out. Oh well.
Hopefully as Scootaloo grows zir will learn sir likes and dislikes have very little to do with sir gender.

Good story, hope there will be a sequel
Nice story, let's hope she Scootaloo eventually found the answer to what she was.
