Description
Ashley answers 7 Questions for the we happy trans project, such as who's been most supportive of her transition, changes she'd like to see in the world, and how she's helping to make those changes. Jay asks how Ashley's new coworkers are accepting of her gender identity, given that some knew her since before her transition while others have only ever known her as Ashley. Ashley receives a postcard from her vacationing parents, but they addressed it to her birth name and Ashley can't bring herself to read it. She wants to talk with them again about calling her Ashley, but worries that her parents could become fatigued on the subject if she were to bring it up too frequently. She and Jay also discuss the unusual evidence her mother cites to try to refute Ashley's gender identity. Jay learns that Too Faced Shadow Insurance (an eyeshadow primer) benefits from a little shakey-shake before use, as one would do with a squeeze bottle of ketchup (or with natural peanut butter if you’re fancy). Ashley also discerns that her technique for repainting some nails (but not others) with a zip-top bag requires a new baggie about every six months.
