5'3" is more or less the average height for a woman, though, isn't it?

Jenni: It's not stupid, and you're not alone in that either. It's just frustrating for feminists.


It really depends on where you are in the world, but in the USA where I am it is about 5' 4.6" for women, around the world is both taller and shorter

I think as far as getting shorter, it all depends on rib cage muscles. When I tried to get into the Coast Guard, they were afraid after doing situps and running that my ribs muscles would grow and I would be too tall.

I never knew about that. People also mention the spine's curvature.

Hmm I wander about the spine curvature? My spine is almost perfectly straight. In fact, I have to see a chiropractor every other week because of it. I wander once that is fixed if I will be shorter? I hope so :)

Well, I think after a while on HRT the back becomes more hollow towards the bottom, as the pelvis tilts more backwards. It makes sense to think a few centimeters can be lost that way.
