Okay, so today's video is a little different

I've never done anything quite like this before

I guess technically is like a storytime video

I'm assuming you can tell from the title of the video kind of what it's about

I've had 3 very annoying situations happen to me

while I was shopping in the men's department in stores

And there were enough of them so close together in a row that

I feel the need to make a video about it and talk to you guys about it

and just rant about it really quickly with you guys

Let me start by saying I don't even shop in the men's department that often

but every once in a while I will see a t-shirt that I like

or wanna try on something new just to see if I like it

You never know what's gonna fit you and look really cool on

So sometimes, yes; I will go venturing to the men's department

And I'm gonna tell you guys the 3 situations that happened to me just recently that bothered me

and I went to try on a pair of boy's shorts

And when I was going into the dressing room

"Okay, yeah...I know...I just wanna try this one"

It was really uncomfortable and just awkward and I don't really know why she felt the need to tell me that

Yeah, that was it, that's all that happened

I was just looking at a t-shirt on the boys' side in this little boutique

and this older lady who was just shopping there came up to me and she was like:

And I don't think she meant anything right by it

and I just felt like "oh my god, why is she watching me shopping?"

"Yeah, sometimes. I guess it just depends"

And then the third thing that happened, I was shopping with a guy friend of mine in a Levi's store

and we have had some of our stuff in the same bag

and then I gave the guy my stuff to check out

and he grabbed this shirt that I'm wearing right now

Grabbed the shirt out of the bag and was like:

"Oh, I think you forgot to give him this"

And I was like: "No, no, no, that's for me. I'm buying that one"

It wasn't even that bad but his reaction to it was so uncomfortable

'cause then it was like he felt awkward and he tried to overcompensate for the mistake he made and he was like:

"Oh, yeah, that'll look really cool, like when you wear something casual...

"...yeah, and wear this when you're more dressed up"

It was just really awkward and I was like: "oh my god, just let me buy it and let me leave"

"I don't wanna talk about my fashion plan with you just because you feel awkward that you said that"

Obviously, all 3 of these situations aren't really that big of a deal

they're not that crazy things, they're pretty mild

But the fact that they happened so close together

"I can't imaging what's happening to other people around the world"

"who are freakin' in a more close minded sec- area

"more close minded area of the world than Los Angeles

Yeah, so basically I just wanted to sit down and talk to you guys about that

And just say that if you are a girl and you wanna shop in the boys' section

And if you're a boy and you wanna shop in the girls' section

And if you don't know who or what you are

and you just wanna experiment and shop in every fucking section...

If you wanna buy a dress from the maternity section

You're allowed to dress and wear whatever you want

And don't let people make you feel uncomfortable or

you aren't allowed to be looking in the section that isn't "designated" for your sex

Basically, if you're looking in a mirror and you're seeing yourself look back at you

And if you hear me say that and you're thinking "okay, everytime you look in a mirror you're looking at yourself"

because there've been times in my life where I've looked into a mirror

and I do not recognize the person staring back at me

because I wasn't wearing the clothes that made me feel comfortable

I was wearing the clothes that I felt would make other people feel comfortable

And how does that make any sense? I'm the one who has to wear them

I'm the one who has to walk around in them

not other people, not the people who I was trying to please
