Sunburst was the official crystaler. It was his job to help care for the young princess, and he had grown used to and even enjoyed the task. It was a pity, if one asked Flurry Heart, that he lacked a little trait that'd make him the best foalsitter.

Spoiler Traits: TG/Transgender

Mhmm... gender shenanigans... I'm in. :trollestia:

There appears to be a flood of folks very displeased with the idea.

People here don't seem to like TS, as long as it isn't mind-bending I'm ok with it

Why did so many not like this? It’s well written and provides a funny yet logical explanation for why the gender swap happened instead of just “whoops magical accident.”

Most of the downvoters are probably bots who scan all new story descriptions for tags like "TG" and then systematically downvote them. Because if they're still using actual humans to do that job, they're being inefficient.

11762477
Probably bots, don’t give up. :pinkiesad2:

Well... considering the state of the world...

Really intriguing, hope to see more :twilightsmile:

I'll come back when 10 chapters are out

Why did so many not like this?

Because it doesn't appeal to their personal interests.

Seriously. It's not that complicated of a matter. It's like asking why stories of zebras dominating and enslaving ponies aren't more popular on this site. Or why She-Hulk was such a massive flop. Or why Virus was such a box office bomb. Or even why HBO's Velma was universally hated. People just don't like what they simply don't like. And trying to figure out why they don't like something in an effort to try and get them to like it, is an exercise in futility.

Changing a foalsitter’s biological sex just because she’s hungry and can’t wait a few hours for Mom to come back and nurse her, sounds exactly like what an overpowered infant alicorn like Flurry Heart would do. :trollestia:

P.S. I’m a bit confused why this is tagged as transgender, it seems more like a genderswap to me since Sunburst doesn’t seem to have a strong inner desire to be a female, from what I’ve read. It’s more like he was turned into the female sex against his will.

11762573
I was more thinking about all the downvotes. It’s not like I downvote stories I don’t like I just don’t read them. Typically it’s for things like really poor writing or story inconsistency unless it’s tagged as comedy.

11762578
Because people will express their dislike of something they don't care to, even when there's no need to, or when it's easier to simply ignore it.

Look at how toxic of an environment twitter is, with artists being doxxed and threatened with death because they dared to do a straight ship for Genshin Impact. Those people could just walk away and not bother the artist, but instead they go out of their way to tell the artist to kill themselves for having a difference of opinion.

Some people can't stand when their personal tastes aren't pandered to exclusively and have a need to show their displeasure in mere existence of alternatives.

11762676
Wish I lived in your world where there were that many trans stories.

Ah, another tale from the Wizarding Words of Silver. Tally Ho, ponies! Shenanigans await!

At least that change can't be blamed on a being of Chaos.

11762797
Yes, it can. It's just not Discord's fault for once.

11762575
this was enough to make me go from curious to "Alright we're bookmarking this story"
11762676
I don't think I'd describe it as overdone, given the sheer volume of fics on the site.

At best, there's just alot more of them now, which there's nothing wrong with that.

I don't think I've ever seen a story before with downvotes on every single comment. More than one on most of them. A group of people must really hate genderswap stories.

11762736
I click on my tracked stories, by last update, and six of the first ten have TG elements: this one, plus

So here are some more stories you may be interested in.

11762938
Ooo, one of those is mine!

11762931
It happens more often if you're willing to look at M-rated stories. Particularly those for more niche interests.

11762952
I am clearly a naughty pony.

But I write a lot more than this genre. Shoot, just posted a SHAMELESS SELF-INSERT CHAPTER
And another one that's a silly adventure comic type story.

11762957
I've read a lot of your stories. There are too many to have read all of them.

Cadance blinked with wide eyes. "Oh.... Oh! Oh." She inclined her head slowly. "I would, if we're being honest, expect you to be panicking a lot more than you are, considering."

Shining tucked his tail. "I would not be happy."

What was he supposed to do? punt the baby?
No real options but to wait with the baby till the parents come back,
However, if it did more changes I'd toss it in a room and close the door max

Anyway interesting start for something that's not usually my cup of tea

But man why does every comment have a dislike that is usually pretty rare in my experience

Someone took offense with the theme since for some reason, people get salty when others don't conform to their expectations of reality, and is now being a petty, vindictive baby. :twilightsmile:

11762729
I know, right? Look at how much sheer and utter hatred The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is unfairly getting, despite how popular it is.

11763054
They are not suggesting tacking it out on the child. More speaking of Sunburst's reaction towards them. He/she is, despite it all, fairly calm and together. Are they in shock, or something else?

I haven't read the story but I'd be interested how quickly such an inoffensive, neutral comment can garner a downvote. Alright... GO!

Feels like the dislikes made people throw even more likes, GO EVERYONE YOU'RE AWESOME!:yay:

I like how Cadance immediately knew something was up and dispelled the illusion.

11763414
She can be an observant mare, especially about ponies she cares about.

11763389
Yep, this basically never actually works the way the downvoters were hoping. And when it does, that just drives yet more people to throw actual money at the few writers they haven't intimidated.

She let out a small, self-conscious laugh. "Forgive my candid curiosity. As a stallion, the workings of the female form were purely academic. Living them has been quite the education thus far."

I can't help but feel Sunburst is incredibly adorable, talking so prosaically. That's the great thing about their character, and it really works well with the situation they found themselves in.

Now... as for the magic strength thing... I have my theories. Maybe, just maybe, their magic was sort of repressed before the change? Hmm. :3

Interesting beginning, let's see where this goes. :twilightsmile:

Oh flurry...WHY!?
???: ITS NOT MY FAULT!
Yeah sure buddy!
???: Just tell my sister not to do that!
Will do!
Why is flurry so damn ADORABLE AND DESTRUCTIVE TO EVERY LAW OUT THERE(SCIENTIFIC INCLUDED!)

"You were hungry... And you fixed it." She laughed deliriously. "You fixed it. You fixed me . You fixed me." She shook her head. "Calm down!" She took several deep breaths. "Calm... down. Okay. You ..." She looked to Flurry, who had no direct answers to offer. "You made me a mare. You wanted milk, you made me a mare." She laughed tensely. "I didn't know you could do that. I bet you didn't know you could do that... But you did."

Literally fixed him/her
*that is the right term right?*

Sunburst nodded. "I can feel it - my own magic has changed as well. It's like who I am shifted when I became a mare."

I've seen this situation before
Sunburst might be what a certain community calls an egg
HOWEVER it was so deeply locked away its like he came out of Tartarus!
But that's only a theory
It also could be deep rooted magic from equestria itself
It has a tendency to have more mares then stallions

11763416
Indeed
Being replaced by a changeling does that

11763137
Yeah
The devs got freaking DELETED off the web
