Considering the facts
Rainbow Dash was laying on her bed, thinking about becoming transgender.
"No. I CAN'T!"
She thought about her friends, and the pros and cons.
"Okay. Pro- it will be less awkward crushing on them, and they may even have a crush on me back."
She smiled at the thought of her and Futtershy together. Or her and Applejack. Or Rarity. Or her and Twi reading together.
"NO! Ugh, I'm so GROSS!! Okay... Con... Will they even like me after this? What is I lose my friends coz of it!?"
She sighed. Why was it so complex? If only she could just ask them without the situation being weird. Then she remembered what Thunderlane said.
"Something about doing what makes you happy and not others... Blah blah BLAH! Ponies will still JUDGE me bout it!"
She let out a long sigh.
"And I hate being judged"
She stared at her ceiling. She had no idea what to do. It all seemed so crazy, that she could actually change her gender! But what if it didn't work? What if it just messed up her face?
Maybe I should just stay a tomboyish mare... I don't want to risk this.
She knew that she was going a little far. Just because she doesn't really like the look of a mare, and isn't sexually ac tracked to stallions, and feels like a stallion, doesn't mean she should become one! Right..?
"Ugh! I hate life! Ill never choose!"
Then an idea sparked. She could invite her friends round, have a sleepover, than the topic of crushes will come up (it always does when Rarity is at a sleepover) and she can ask them a random crazy hypothetical question!
Hey... Wouldn't it be so crazy if a pony changed their gender or something? What would you guys do if you found out somepony changed their gender?
And that way, they would all say what they would think of it, and she would know what they would think of her changing her gender!
"I'm genius!" She said, flying up into the air with a big grin on her face.

Yay A new story to read!!
yay! dashie might become a male!
I'm going to judge this anyway. Rainbow's extremely out of character and her reasoning seems flimsy.
interesting story
nice
4823414 Y'know, coz all lesbians want to be men
Mnmn, I don't really like the idea of her changing her sex. But I guess you can probably make it work. So I will give this a favorite just to see how this goes.
Here's the thing. Lesbians don't secretly want to be men and gays don't secretly want to be women. If Rainbow Dash's desire to be a male is because she's, not-so-secretly, a lesbian then it comes off a little weak.
Had you worked the concept a little more, like she always felt like a stallion in a mare's body. She was attracted to her female friends. She preferred hanging out at the bar drinking cider and telling dirty jokes with the boys. Anything like that would push her in the direction of wanting to be a stallion. But no, it's just, "I'm a lesbian and I hate it but I'd be normal if I were a stallion".
As 4823403 said. The idea is fine. It's the execution that is lacking.
I agree with the others on this.
I'd be an interesting concept if it were played realistically and with some of the challenges and actual logic of transgendered people.
It could even be played serious with a touch of comedy if the transformation wasn't too difficult.
It's a pretty serious issue to drop the ball on sooo hard. Especially in a fandom where the LGBT community and supporters within it are a serious audience portion to consider. Flailing around with the "L" and the "T" parts isn't going to win you many friends around here.
4823679 it's not JUST that! I even said stuff like, she doesn't like being female, the she would be happier lesbian as a male is because she is afraid of people judging her about being lesbian, but if she's a male, she feels she will be more comfortable liking mares
So many people seem to hate the fact about me writing rd becoming transgender because she's a lesbian... Well sorry! I have to admit I'm not the best writer ok! In this story, she is having a sex change because she feels more like a/ happier as a male!!! NOT coz she's lesbo!! I understand if this has made you made, or me seem homophobic, but that's not the case!!! Please don't hate just advise me , or even suggest a sentence/paragraph I should change to make it better!!! don't get angry
4823543 thank you!!! I really appreciate how you didn't get angry or hate and just nicely put your point across, I think some people are angry with me for implying in the story that the main reason she's changing gender is coz she a lesbian ! That's not the case!!!
4823442 thank you!

Then you need to be clearer on the whole concept. If everybody, and myself included, read into it that she's feeling this way because she's a lesbian then it's up to you as the author to make us understand that this is not the reason behind it. And how do you do this? You do it by telling the story.
Your work will always be open to interpretation and nobody's interpretation is completely wrong. They might miss certain elements or take it in a direction you never intended. But it's up to you to tell the story the way that makes the most sense to you and to provide as much information to support your point of view. So if, in this case, you want to tell the story that Rainbow Dash just feels more like a stallion then you need to build this into your narrative.
It doesn't even have to be difficult. You could start it off talking about RD and how as a filly she preferred to play with the colts and was considered a bit of a tom-colt or whatever the Equestrian equivalent of tomboy is. Maybe have her envy the colts when they grew older and got more muscular when she was developing more along the lines of a mare. Continue with her experimenting with fillies, maybe even trying to kiss one of her friends growing up but she felt wrong doing so like something was missing.
The idea is you need to fill in these gaps and make us want to follow in the path you've laid down.
And finally I don't think anybody here is calling you homophobic or saying your ideas are wrong. No, that's reserved for assholes like this who really are homophobic pieces of crap.
4824641 No problem. They should pay attention more to the details you put. I know that isn't the real reason. More like she doesn't feel right in her body.
But at the same time, it would count on her benefit for not being seen as a lezbo. Also, I can sense some drama coming into this. By the way it really is a good plot line. 
4824678 Oh the Irony
4824678 haha, yeah I know, I kinda wrote that wrong. I was trying to say, even though Thunderlane doesn't necessarily think its normal and not gross-ish, he is not against his friends/other ponies becoming transgender.... If that makes sense..
4825057 thank you!! Yeah , I'm going to fix it soon and make it more clear
4824734 ok! Thanks, ill change it soon, and I like your filly growing up I deals! I might steal that idea!
4825306 No problem once again.
Also, when will the next chapters be out? 
4825333
wow, idk 
I need to do a bit of editing first! Thanks for asking!!!
amazing story for your little cunt ass bitch faggot
4827323 what?? What do u mean..???
Hi everyone, so I edited it a bit so it seems less like she wants to change gender BECAUSE she's a lesbian., which wasn't what I was trying to write. Anyways, please read some of the new bits in chapter 1&2, hopefully it's better now & will get less dislikes! :T
4828254 what should I change then?
4828356 Most of it.
4828359
more specific, what about is bad?
4828364 I wrote a review if you're interested.

Cancelled? Aw! I really wanted to see how this was going to end! Oh well...
5056919

5072926
aw thanks so much!!! you guys r awesome!
I like the writing but I actually like Rainbow as a girl better. The reason is because that for me she stands against two stereotypes. I hate the typical stereotypes for "girly" women and the stereotype that's forming nowadays that being a tomboy makes you a lesbian. This is because of my personality. I am not in the least bit girly. I don’t go gaga over shoes, I don’t care for fashion, I don’t like dresses, I’ll rarely wear anything except jeans or shorts and t-shirts, I don’t care much for flowers, ect. I love the outdoors, I work out, I love fishing, I do many household jobs that are namely considered male jobs and I like doing them. Thing is, I don’t feel one bit like a boy and I’m completely confident as a female. I am simply a woman with that personality, it doesn't make me a male on the inside.
Anyway, I’m not trying to bash your story it’s just that’s why I really like Rainbow Dash for her personality as a female. Sorry if it came off that way.
6132476 first of all, thank you for the compliment! I also thought my story was long lost in a dark abyss of most hated stories on fimfic...
but I completely understand. I myself am a lot like you, im more of a tomboy but have never felt the need to be a boy! I wasn't trying to say that just coz she's not all frilly-nilly and girly means she's a boy or should be a boy. I just thought it would make a good plot. (story plot-not...not dirty plot) but thanks for not hating or beiingn rude about it! sorry that it wasn't too good
6133587 And thank you for not taking offense, some people are very touchy about their stories. I can see why though since it's their personal work.
)but it prompted me to do research on it since I didn't understand it. That's why the story caught my eye.
I had a friend once who was transgender, (he got into drugs and the wrong side of the law, it's not fun to talk about.
Can I have another hug? I'm sad now.
6134645 of course! I only get a little touchy-feely if someone's just flat out rude. oh my, sorry for reminding you! poor thing, of course u can have a hug! *snuggles*
6136880 Thank you. Reminding me was not your fault.
6140342 your welcome :) and thanks also!
