Advice from the Teens Editor

Hi Frankie,

The fashions you wear should be a reflection of your personality; choose clothing that makes you feel confident and good about yourself. This is true no matter what your situation is. However, sizing is different in women's clothing than in men's. Check out this site for MTF clothing conversion charts as well as lots of other helpful info. A good site to find accessories, such as jewelery items, is Love and Pride. An online clothing store that can also be helpful is Tranniegear,which has sizing charts for clothing as well as shoes in their tips section. Once you determine what size you should buy, you could shop locally and find clothes and accessories that fit within your budget.

Hi Melanie, It isn't wrong to have fantasies about the opposite sex. Most people who are bisexual actually have relationships with people of both sexes, not just day dream about them. As for what guys think, who cares? My advice is to be yourself and be true to who you really are, not what you think someone else wants you to be.

Hey, since 7th grade I've found girls to be attractive. Every now and then I have sexual girl fantasies, but I've only been with guys and I find them much more attractive, (lots of laughts). I don't think I'll ever be with a girl, but I always just think about having fun with a girl. So basically, I want to know if I'm bisexual or if I'm just telling myself that because most guys consider it a turn on when a girl is bisexual.

Hi Cinthya, If you are bisexual, it should come as no surprise that you are attracted to both sexes. The fact that you are attracted more towards girls right now doesn't necessarily mean that anything has changed, unless you decide you don't like guys any more sexually. I don't know your age, but you may just be going through an experimental phase. Ride it out and see where you are a few months from now. People are allowed to change their minds- it is human nature!
