Examples presented in story include Applejack and Landscape, Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich, and Trixie Lulamoon and Piercing Gaze. Regarding Applejack and Landscape:
-->There had been a time when she'd been bigger than him, with the quicker physical growth of fillies, and then a time when he'd surpassed her stature, increasing to the full size of a rangy stallion, while she had remained compact, though hard-muscled. Starting three and a half decades ago, she had begun growing again. She was now as big as her brother Big Mac, and considerably stronger. Her husband Landscape was almost insubstantial next to her, but it didn't bother either of them in the slightest.

But when Chrysalis tried to conquer the world, the other Changelings had to reveal themselves to Equestria to shelter from her conquering Swarms. By the end of the Great Changeling War, the existence and nature of the Changelings was widely known, and the Changelings and other Ponies had to learn to live together openly and peacefully.
