Hola Jeramy (or do you like Auzzi better?) glad you made it here!

You might very well be "bi" but it'll have nothing to do with whether or not you're trans Confused yet?

If you are, take some time and read around about the differences between gender identity and sexual orientation.

In short, gender identity is which gender you feel you are whereas sexual orientation has to do with which gender you're attracted to. One doesn't dictate the other though. You could easily identify as being female (regardless of what body you're in) and yet be attracted to females. Or identify as being male and being attracted to males.

You can even identify as being both (Androgynous) and attracted to both ; an androgynous identity with a bisexual orientation.

Don't stress on the labels though, focus on just being you and in time it'll all get clear.

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

Jeramy - is that your prefered name? In any case - welcome to Laura's Playground. She named it that because she felt so many of us missed our true youth because we were so gender confused. Here we have a chance to meet others -and your young age is wonderful - there is a teen forum which is a place you have probably already found, so it is a great plce to talk. The young people there are super smart and really like to help everyone. You can post anywhere you want of course. There is a huge diversity of people, so look around. Sometimes it seems so large, but it is navigable... use 'view new posts' for the most active topics.

And your hesitation and you questioning nature is so typical here - and I do want to let you know we moderate the forum very tightly, so you will be safe. It is G-rated (Laura says PG-13), and people are non-judgemental.

So welcome and post a bunch - that's how we get to know you - and you get to know us.

This is a transgender forum, and I am not sure if you are trans* or not (you didn't say), but this is a very friendly place and I am sure no one would turn you away if you have questions.

So far we know that you are possibly bisexual and that you are 16 years old looking for someone your own age to talk to. Well, look no further! We have tons of resources and information available here at Laura's. I myself am 15 years old and I am a male-to-female transgendered person. As Lizzy said above me, there are lots of teens here and we are all friendly and willing to help anyone in need.

If you are confused about the differences between Gender Identity, Sexual Orientation and Romantic Orientation, then you probably want to look for my post at the bottom of the first page of another introduction topic here: http://www.lauras-playground.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8336

Welcome to Laura's and I hope you find what you are looking for!
