That would make an interesting story. maybe they had a genetic disease that was linked to the Y chromosome, so the only solution was to genderswap them as to get rid of said Y chromosome. I can imagine dash in future going through her baby pictures and being like “wait I minute? Is that…MOM, DAD!!!”

@orbsah  
I mean in the case of Dash

@Darth Shy  
They accidently gave them different desigs?

Probably an animation error

Isn’t it ironic that the cutest baby in this picture is Snips of all people.

Rainbow dash: DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY GENDER?!

It would make her remark to “Orchard Blossom” (crossdressing!BigMac) totally hypocrite … unless she never knew she was born as a colt (being magically transformed into a filly as a foal, perhaps for a medical reason?).

They actually took the wrong child during that day.

While “Rainbow Dash is actually a crossdressing stallion” has been a suspect headcanon of mine ever since Season 1, I’m going to chalk this up to the fact that RD has the most boyish-looking eyes of the Mane Six. Apparently they were that way even as a foal.

I would just like to say before people take this too far: it’s just a headcanon and a possibility the show never said it was explicitly canon so let’s not make a big deal over this ok?

That’s kinda hot!

Hence why I said “I doubt” regarding their surgical skills, I hope I didn’t imply the show stated it one way or another. We know they can do surgeries of some sort, but chances are we won’t ever know if they can do those kind of surgeries.

@Ryodraco  
it was never stated that their technology and surgeries aren’t evolved enough.

@Background Pony #20AC  
A lack of technology that doesn’t rely on magic, and an overall lack of a need for it.

@Ryodraco  

 
Why?

@Background Pony #F219  
Indeed, we have too small a sample size of baby ponies to really tell if its a rule that they all look like that at birth depending on their sex. The adults as you noted show there is substantial variation in muzzles and eyelashes.
 
Plus we know changing a pony’s gender via magic is considered all but impossible, and I doubt their surgical skills are on par with the real world.
 
And of course we all know animations errors are nothing new for the series.

Honestly it’s most likely that she just looked boyish as a baby.

talk for yourself

Or maybe you stop looking for something that’s not there. We’ve got enough with the rainbow-mane and lesbian jokes.

More evidence for Trans Dashie.  
Maybe she transitioned at a really early age and that’s a contributing factor as to why her parents are so excitable.

Man, the details that some people catch…

this + males voice…
 
mmhhh

And Pipsqueak and Rumble have rounded muzzles. Zecora has a square muzzle and no eyelashes. Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Fleur, Sassy and several other female unicorns have square muzzles.
 
This doesn’t really mean anything.

no
