Bad Quote by Julio Torres
“First of all, a lot of 'male' clothing is so lame and bad. At stores, I usually go straight for the women's. Even as a cis man, I'm like, wait, this is a women's jacket? Just because the buttons are on the other side? Okay. I'm not even that fem, and I feel like this is completely within my limit.”
