I see a lot of 6-foot women these days, just like Kate says. I'm convinced there are many more today than when I was a kid. I love seeing them out and about; each one makes me that much less of a statistical anomaly. When I went to a feminist religion conference last year, I was delighted to meet the Goddess thealogy scholar
Carol Christ. Goddess is right--she stands 6'2" in her stockinged feet.
And she wore heels.
When I first started presenting female, at 5'11" I did not dare to wear heels, shy because of my height. But after several months, I could not resist a very chic pair of black suede boots which got me lots of compliments. Since then, I've been wearing high heels, hold my head up, and stand statuesque and proud.
When I reached my full height in youth, I was five eleven and a half. But at my last visit to the doctor, I got a surprise. I'm down to 5'10" now. I've dropped a shoe size too. I'd heard HRT can shrink a trans lady, but never believed it until it happened to me.
