Dunno if it’s an unpopular opinion or not, but I really hope the changeling in E16 is a guy (really, how hard would it be to give it eyelashes if it’s a girl?) and if they get into changelings in general, they’re just males and females as you’d expect. I get that they’re part-insect and X insects are all female with guys only as mates for the queen or what-not, but honestly I always thought people put far too much emphasis on the insect part and completely forget they’re part-pony, and much more pony at that.
Really hope they’re not genderless and “choose a gender” either. If that’s a thing that needs to be fought in MLP, so be it, but please not with the changelings. They have so much more potential than being a battlefield for “muh genders” :<
