with Dr. Greyhooves magic gone, finding a cure will be harder.. if only we could get more hooves on this project. We got another letter from Celestia asking for me to come to castle to work on a cure.. but i cant just leave Dr. Greyhooves like that. We'll keep working here. I think we owe all of Ponyvill that. I think I owe Apple Bloom that...

Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not
It is rumored that the LDS Church will soon implement a policy that bans the baptism of transgender children of record (generally children who are 8 years old) if those individuals have socially transitioned (a social transition means changing dress or grooming, or a name or pronouns, to present oneself as other than their assigned sex at birth).
I do not believe this will happen for several reasons (partially laid out below, but I didn’t suspect the infamous-and-since-retracted Policy of Exclusion would happen either).
If the church were to implement this policy, it would mean 8-year old children will be told they cannot come into the fold of God. That they cannot make a covenant with Jesus to (Mosiah 18:8-10):
Be numbered among his people
Bear the burdens of others that they may be light
Mourn with those that mourn
Comfort those that stand in need of comfort
Stand as a witness of God at all times, in all things, and in all places that they are in
Serve Him and keep His commandments
In my opinion, no one should tell a little child they cannot come unto Jesus (Mark 10:13-14), regardless of the challenges that child is facing. In fact, I would suggest that children facing difficult challenges are most particularly in need of Jesus. Perhaps there are some who may think dressing or presenting oneself in a gender non-conforming way violates the “Keep His commandments” part of the covenant. But everyone sins and comes short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23 - and note: I am not at all certain that an 8-year old child who has socially transitioned is in a state of sin), and many adult sinners are baptized anyway.
We should also keep in mind there is no worthiness interview for 8-year old children of record in the LDS church (LDS General Handbook 31.2.3.1). Little children are without sin. All that is required for them is to have a desire to come unto Christ and a sufficient mental capacity to grasp the difference between right and wrong (those who do not have the mental capacity to understand right from wrong are exempt from baptism).
There are some sins considered serious enough they may prevent adults receiving permission to be baptized (LDS General Handbook 31.2.3.2 and 38.2.8.7). These include adults currently ‘living in sin’ (ie – having sexual relations while not in a legally married cishet union). That’s the entire list. The remainder (paying tithing, committing to go to church, obeying the word of wisdom) are mostly pledges of intention to obey and mirror future temple recommend interview questions (and most adult members do not hold an active temple recommend).
Additionally, certain particular past sins or crimes may be serious enough to require approval from the First Presidency (the church’s highest governing body) before the adult can be baptized. These include murder, sex crimes (rape, incest, CSA), other serious crimes involving jail time or where a person is currently on probation/parole, or adults involved with plural marriage (the church is very strict when it comes to polygamy).
Oh, and faithful transgender adults who transition (socially or medically) to live honestly and openly, as they identify, are also required to obtain First Presidency Approval before being baptized.
I personally don’t believe transgender adults who want to serve Jesus belong in the same section as murderers, rapists, child molesters and those convicted of serious crimes.
Do we really want to add 8-year old children to that same list?

A pox on capitalism for poisoning us to the point that any depth of exploration in art (or science, or the intersection thereof) is seen as "having too much time on your hands" or an affectation of depth to be used by the elite as a game. A pox on capitalism for making us so focused on survival that we can't enjoy what our souls want to explore.
We should take care of each other and strive for a society that lets us all get really deep into niches and help everyone become better for it.

Ooooo actually what if Novhen's sandy voice is also related to his childhood smallpox?
He already has the pockmarked cheeks, and even if i don't know if smallpox can leaving lasting scars in the throat in such a way that they will affect voice, smallpox can still for sure appear in the throat
Like yes, there's also just elements of his natural personality and voice, but the smallpox is not smoothing things
But also also, what if this bout of smallpox was the same plague that killed Shianni's mother? We don't know if they meant plague as in Yersinia pestis or general widespread disease anyway, but it's certainly possible they meant the latter. It's more fun if it's the latter
