Women Come In All Shapes And Sizes

One transition lesson that took the longest time to sink in but finally did thanks to Dr. Cole, my biofemale friends and personal observations was that women come in all shapes, sizes and body types.

It was one of the things that bugged me, especially after my last growth spurt pushed me to my 6'2" height and I first began seriously contemplating transition in my late teens.

One of my BT (before transition) concerns was if I could convincingly pull off being a statuesque plus 6 foot tall woman. Fortunately I grew up in the late 70's, and there were plenty of examples of tall beautiful sisters around me from 5'10" Jayne Kennedy, 6'1" Phyllis Hyman, 6'2" model and actress Tamara Dobson.

Got measured at the doctor's last month and came out at 179.5 cm which seems to be 5'10.5''.

Came as a bit of a shock as I'd always thought I was over 6 ft. Being tall is fine here in the West although it does make me a little paranoid back in South East Asia.
