Height

[BeverlyAnn]

One of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen was about 6'3" tall and at the time had only been dressing for about 6 months.  If you had seen her, more than likely your only thought would have been if she played in the WNBA.

As for me, 5'6" and I always hated it when I was growing up that I was so small.  But then when I started shopping for wardrobe, there seemed to be a MUCH better selection in the Misses department than in the talls.  Now if I could just do something about wearing a women's 11 in shoe size.   I've always worn heels because with flats, it looks like I have this big blob stuck on the bottom of my legs.

Isn't it funny, some of the things that one may hate when growing up?  like height.

For me it was my blonde hair.  There were not too many boys with blonde hair and not only was mine blonde but it was thick as well.  I kept hoping it would turn colour.  of course it never did but now the guys and gals LOVE my hair.  And so do I.

The funny thing is, before transition, I was perfectly happy being only average height.  I never wanted to be any taller or even shorter for that matter.

From my extensive exposures to other forums as well as some of the Yahoo groups I've come to believe that ("excessive") height is a very common characteristic of the TG commumity.  I'm 6' 2" w/o my 5" heels.  I'm sure that makes for a overpowering sight in the clubs I visit.  Nothing I can do about this, so I just live with it and allow the legs to distract from other weak points in my overall appearance.  Given the choice, I probably would not give up any of the height because it works well for the male mode.  I would consider trading a couple of inches of height to a vertically challenged female for a small amount of her "hip padding". lol

I was in a support group recently and, at 5' 6",  was way shorter than anyone else there MTF.  I don't think I'm an unusual height when out en femme.

I pass really well but still wish I didn't tower over everybody. I'm uhh, 5' 13" how's that?

(I might well be holding the record here for shoe size though. )

Nope, can't - but I'm only one inch away.

I'm 5'11" 124 pounds and I like my height the way it is. 5'7" to 5'11" is the sexiest height for females anyways in my opinion.

And people talk about ME being skinny......wow!  Glad to see all kinds on here.  Would love to see a pic, Annie.  I bet you are gorgeous.

I already posted a pic in the picture section but it was just of my face and the same pic with crude modifications to make it more feminine.

But, I'm going to post another picture in a month or so, full body, with me in female clothes and the same one with virtual FFS. I don't post full body stuff yet because I don't have any girl clothes and my parents don't know.

But that will change I'm grabbing my best friend, his girlfriend, and possibly my ex-girlfriends to help me pick out some clothes and tell my parents. My best friend owes me big for outing my GID to the school I used to attend and especially for telling a person I hate and who has access to my relatives I don't want to know about this. So he's going weither he likes it or not.

Anyways, for a total pre-op and pre HRT, I think I look pretty decent, but I really need a nose job ASAP. You look pretty good yourself.

Excellent!!  That means that I'm only 4' 22".  Believe me. It helps. I don't like the alternative of being 5' 10". Wahhhhh!

5'10" is actually pretty common for genetic women so I don't see your problem there. At 5'9" the only time I ever towered over anyone was while I worked as a temp and I worked with a group of asian women. That was uncomfortable for about 10 minutes.

I don't wonder why, based on your avatar pic.
