What this episode covers
Ashley teaches Jay about the nuances and changing meanings of some of the more hurtful slurs directed toward trans folks, with help from GLAAD's transgender glossary of terms (http://www.glaad.org/reference/transgender). Jay asks Ashley to elaborate on what she means when she says she's "always been a woman" and if that means she regrets not having come out at an earlier point in her life. Together, they discuss whether it would be feasible to raise a baby as gender neutral until they were old enough to express their gender identity. They also discuss the nail-protecting power of gloves and Ashley sings a jingle about them. (Caveat: The "gloves song" – all three seconds of it – is only available in the video version of this episode.)
