“This story is inspired by my life, in the provinces of Mexico there are only two ways in which society sees you, as a man or as a woman, even though I came out of the closet very young I always had a very macho attitude as well I was polite and at the slightest attempt to be feminine someone judged me.
It wasn’t until I moved to Mexico City that thanks to other people I learned about being queer, I learned to love myself without being pigeonholed into gender identity, little by little I learned that my female self loves me the same way as my male self, here comes the name of this editorial and of course taking the T.A.T.U song as a reference “Loves not me” says Abel Anaya
