Maybe now he'll act like less of a perv.(not getting my hopes up)
Also I think Winona is a Collie
Just waiting for when he starts to talk
Is he aware, of the slight regression in thought processes he's having? A grown man wouldn't go all "Mommy, Daddy!" to his parents. I understand he's in a foal's body but has he realized the childish nature that has taken hold?
Oh well, as long as he's having fun, it doesn't really matter

Did I call her something else? I just referred to her as 'dog'

I thought I saw something about not knowing what breed she was, must be hallucinating again.
Well, that was interesting. That stallions were capable of having such violent confrontations with each other really brought home their true nature. A nature that brings up something else.
Laws are constructed around the nature of a sentient species. With all the various species on the planet, each with their own word for the female of their species, the laws regarding them would most likely use the word "sentient" when outlining the protections of individual rights. Since stallions cannot speak or reason, they would not be considered sentient, and would thus fall under a different branch of the law designed solely for them. What is more, despite the claims of love concerning husbands and the like, between the geldings, withering, as well as a few other things, I get the feeling that stallions are in some way, in the eyes of the law, property. Add in the very different nature and the laws that apply to stallions would be very different then the ones applied to mares.
Which means that the moment that Gold Coast does speak, he will be at the center of a legal crisis, as two different bodies of law that were never meant to interact are applied to him: the stallion laws that would apply for him being a stallion, and the laws that were intended too protect the rights of the sentient members of the species.
For example, under the laws for stallions, circumcision of a colt would be considered an acceptable practice. Under the laws for the sentient members of the species, it might be classified as child mutilation.
Between the resulting legal crisis, Celestia's own expectations for Coast taking a hit, and the mares that believe that a stallion should not have the kind of power that Coast would have even if his mind was a other stallions, and would be absolutely incensed to learn that he could talk, I would not be surprised if a shocked Cadence finds a surge-teleported Gold Coast on her lap, brawling his eyes out.

The fact that noblemares would even have the gall to openly suggest such things in the presence of their diarch, is in itself very troubling. Considering he's basically being seen as a political bargaining chip, and nobles don't even care for him despite his title, it'll also be troubling if this flippant attitude carries over to his future wives.

I think it's less about him being what he is and more about who his father is. If his dad was was from one of the noble families, then they would probably be less open about their more negative opinions.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there, the exact wording suggest that it was sexism.
8960553
True. However, I cannot see Celestia as being unmoved by the situation, once she wraps her mind around the fact that her son can talk and all of the implications. Which to be honest, could be a while. It will probably take a while and a great deal of heated arguments before she understands that Gold Coast might have ambitions beyond being merely a stud. Once she does though, she could probably use the legal conflicts to her advantage.
For one thing, with all of the clauses that would have gone into the marriage arrangements, there would probably be things that would conflict with the law as written for the sentient members of the species. In which case, Celestia could declare them, as currently written, null and void. A letter severely lacking in detail to lure the foreign royals to a meeting to see Gold Coast, say that they have no choice but to rewrite some of the agreements, and remind anyone who balks of the laws for mentally disabled family members, and they'll own sexism would bring them to sign the new agreements, as they would believe that it is all merely a legal maneuver and nothing has actually changed, as they would be unable to accept the possibility that Coast would develop mentally to be on par with an adult mare. At this time, she could slip in causes that would help Gold Coast, such as a way for one of the princesses to be expelled from the herd if she behaves in such a fashion.
The trick here is that to do that, as well as prepare her own movements to aid Gold Coast locally, Celestia will need time. A well behaved colt that could carry a conversation would help her cause far more then a foal that was just learning to talk. She will also need time to quietly research the legal ramifications and decide on how to handle them. Time that, if the "fat hippo" and friends find out about Gold Coast, Celestia will not get. I could actually see a scenario where Coast is taught in secret as Celestia tries to keep a lid on who knows he could talk. Such a scenario would include keeping the number of people who interact with him on a regular basis to a minimum.

Critical thinking to make what should've been a simple, yet straight forward AU, overly complicated.
Isn't this fun?
It's like when the RGRE genre came out, so much to consider

Also, there is no reason there cannot be regular lengthy visits by Gold Coast's future wives. In the castle, Celestia could take action to quash any such attitude among her future daughter-in-laws.

Very much so. Buckly Jones has come up with a very interesting thought exercise. But we can only talk about the central pillars of the AU that he has given us. For example, based on some of his other writings concerning this AU, I get the feeling that milkmares might come into the story. But if so how? While they were mentioned in what he intended to have in "A Different World," I have seen no description.
Do to the low cost of milk and milk products, some things can be deduced. They would most likely live a very spartan lifestyle. To cut down on costs they probably live on or next to farms. They probably have exceedingly large breasts to produce as much milk as possible. And that is about it.
We do not know, as Buckly Jones has not seen fit to tell us, a great many things. For example, With milk being so cheep, the amount of money they bring in cannot be that much. So is this a lifestyle choice, a sub-culture, just a job, a form of "debtors prison," or some combination of the above? Are the milkmares so top heavy they need back support, or are they so overbalanced that they cannot walk on two legs?
What ever the answer to these, and other questions we have about this AU, I look forward to the answers, if and when Buckly Jones decides to share them with us.
On a side note, what is the RGRE genre? I haven't been able to identify it.

Reverse Gender Roles Equestria
Think of it as old era sexism but reversed, where the "stay in the kitchen" euphemism would be directed at stallions, as culture and society had coddled and shaped stallions to actually be "weak" and "helpless". Anything a male would do, is feminine or "coltish" in the eyes of mares, who take a slight or overly dramatized version of "men are always thinking of sex" into their behavior/social norms. Some stories take traits by being mare dominant, whether the author intended to or not.
While it is considered a genre in itself, people as of late realized that any story that uses herd relationships as a societal norm, have inadvertently created RGRE cultures. Like the fic "Herding Instincts", at first it was a story about a human slowly entering a herd relationship, to suddenly realized he was swept aside by the complications of the apparent mare dominant society.
What about Pinkie Pie?
