5'3" and I HATE IT!
I'm so jealous of tall people it's like I feel myself turning green...
I've always hated how short I am, because my idiot little brother is 6'3". SO not fair.
But I'm androgyne and chiming in on this, so don't mind me. 
I was so worried about going out dressed up as a guy because I'm short even for a girl! What if someone laughs at me...or worse, what if I don't pass because I'm too short to be 'male'? *walks away to go hide under a rock* 
I passed as male, and I'm 5'3.5", so... I'm inclined to say people don't judge male/female on height; it's mostly just the visage and attire. Being taller, of course, helps, but the difference is small. And the difference can be further minimized by attitude - my mom is only 4'6", but she walks tall. She doesn't seem short until you're standing right beside her. I like to think that I'm the same way.
... Though, I wouldn't mind two and a half more inches.

Oh, and anyone laughing at you for being short is weird. Some people will tease you, if they know you (not many people are like this... I've been teased about my height by high school kids perhaps by two different people in total), but strangers mostly keep to themselves. There are, of course, occasional douchebags, but they should never really matter. I was called a "Very beautiful
guy" once, by one such person as I would call a douchebag. He yelled it from across the street. But I passed to most everyone else... though I did get a stare or two... so I didn't mind. I happened to be in a rush, and didn't have makeup on for that day, so that's probably why that happened. The Adam's apple didn't help either
That example is great, though, for saying you don't need to be over 5'6" to pass as male.
