Internal struggles and questions

[Galaxymuffin]

Hello I'm new here, I've long considered transitioning but there have been a few reasons why I haven't yet, I'm really tall and afraid I'd never be able to pass considering the fact I'm nearly 7ft tall with masculine features and a deep voice, I feel as though I'll never really be happy in my own skin but the fear of never passing is a painful one too. Advice? :3.

Some of the happiest women I know don't pass. Many of them are thrilled with their transition, just thankful for the opportunity to be themselves. On the converse, some of the most trouble post-transition women are those that are semi-stealth and are always concerned that their secret will come out.

Accepting your height and making the most of your life. 
Yes,  7ft is tall...  I know it's not the same but I'm gonna give you one example:
My legs before hrt were p-e-r-f-e-c-t without me even trying.  After I started hrt I got cellulite and it started to bug me like there's  no tomorrow... So my therapist said: you can either have cellulite or live your life as a man. That's the price for being a woman.
It isn't the same but the idea behind is: what do you want more: be a 7ft tall woman, taller than most, or be a 7ft tall man whose height will bring some positive views?
What at the end of the day will make you happier with yourself? Think about that

Being tall means we stand out in a crowd and it is harder to simply blend in as one of the girls.  Being seen or noticed is a fact of our tall life while passing is really something we cannot absolutely be sure of.  I like Gabi's idea of finding/doing what makes you happier with yourself.  there are always tradeoffs it seems.
