Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Trying to put some structure to this. How do we compare?

I'm so damn lucky I'm just an average height women...same with my shoe size.  It has always sucked being a short male.  Especially since I have always liked tall women.

structure is good, just measured @ 69 inches

I worry alot about my height having a great impact on me passing and finding great clothes, already having a major problem finding sexy shoes since I wear a men's size 13.

Some of the most famous models are tall women.

Oluchi Onweagba    6 foot 2
Anna Hickmann   6 foot 1 and a half
Adriana Sklenaríková    6 foot 1
Jodie Kidd                6 foot 1 L 1
Stella Tennant                6 Foot
Kimberley Stewart      6 foot
Sophie Dahl   6 foot
Elle Macpherson   6 foot
Victoria Silvstedt    5 foot 11
Ana Beatriz Barros       5 foot 11
Alec Wec or Alex Wek   5 foot 11
Daniela Peštová   5 foot 11
Karolína Kurková   5 foot 11
Helena Christensen   5 foot 10
Christy Turlington   5 foot 10
Naomi Campbell   5 foot 9

There are loads of sexy tall genetic girls.  The above list shows this.  It's about attitude not height.  You will only fail to pass if your confidence is low otherwise most people don't give a fig.   It's all about internal confidence.  The more you have, the better you pass.

being tall is difficult, but the weight is killing me, so hard to get it off   :'(

I have generally fared well with clothing and shoes despite being 5'11" -in fact, my feet seem to have shrunk somewhat over the past few years, with the only time I ever need to go larger than a 9 being with a few select pairs of heeled boots. 

All one need to do in order to realize that MANY tall women are out there is look to women's basketball and even softball at the collegiate levels.  We have had several who play or played in Austin that were 6' or taller.  And I remember seeing Alison Bales up close and personal when she came to Austin with the Duke team...at 6'7" and roughly 200lbs in those days, she was an imposing figure.  Yet I found few people who did not find her attractive despite her size...
   

5'3" high, shoe size seven, tiny frame.

Was there not a similar poll by Zoey?

Zoey didn't make it a poll.

I guess that further validates the recent amiable nickname "Derpette" that I've received.

I'm like 6'2" and I met lot of similar tall girls few of them even taller than me, and lot of them with broader shoulders than I have.
I like to be smaller, but still can look like common tall girl

Sarah is right about attitude.

When I was young and slender I would often wear high heels to add to my 5' 9". Add a slinky black dress for formal and it is lovely to turn heads  ;)

Really? Personally I never minded being a short male (5'5). A lot of people complain about it but nobody ever gave me any problems for it.  :-\

I always liked my height!

I am 5'5.5" with size 5.5 to 7 womens shoe i think i am a nice size.

Ugh im 6'3. My height will always be an issue for me.   :embarrassed:

I'm 19 and 5'7''. I have a size 10 shoe, so I'm crossing my fingers that I don't grow any taller!

I am 6 feet and 11 ins. and I love my long legs no matter if im in boy or girl mode everyone stops and looks.

Yea 6'11 is something.


Im 19 too and I hope I dont get any taller.

 ;) Mellissa , ya made me feel better dear . I'm 6-3, I wear 12 or 13 womens wides and I have some problems finding suits that fit well. I do a lot of sewing as I'm always having to alter something . Still, I figgure thats part of being a woman . I see women all the time gaining and losing weightand they share their stories with me  too. Complaining about it only depresses me , I just move on to a more pleasent subject .  8) ellen

5'11", but I just bought some 3" wedges the other day that make me strikingly tall... and I love it. ;D

Heh - I read that as "altitude" :).

6'3", and have been since I was 12 (though I used to be half the width I am now!). The word that comes to my mind for how I feel when I feel fine about my height and how I carry myself is "poise". I enjoy having poise, and moving gracefully - which is not necessarily the same as "femininely", perhaps more dancer-like (without being pretentious about it). It's just enjoyable to feel in control of my body and how it moves. It's taken me decades to feel alright about being very tall (well, these days 6'3" isn't that tall, but it was when I was a kid in the 70's) and being asymmetrical.

It can be annoying finding tops and sleeves that are long enough, im 6'1" and clothes shopping can be frustrating!!

What kind of clothes are you looking for?  One of the things I first noticed when I began shopping for women's clothes was that the sleeve situation was far easier than when I was in boy mode.  Sleeves are made to be too short or too long, which is perfect for someone like me with a very disproportionate body.  I'm 5'11" and I have an armspan of 6'8".  Guy shopping was impossible because anything that fit in the arms fit me like a bell, and anything that fit in the neck/chest stopped mid-forearm.

5'10" here, and I regularly wear heels in which I stand up to 6'4" in. I am very happy with my height! Typical model height. I also wear a womens' size 8 shoe, which is very small for my height. ;D Most of my cis girl friends who wear the same shoe size as me are like 5'3".

i find girls my height are equal to me in everything its soooo weird i love it  :D :D :D and sure helps buying gifts for them :D

5,3

i am scared of all you tallies  :D

to be most fair, when i had my srs most if not all the girls were tall and i never once thought you look less of a woman because of it.

Tallness is a hangup but i really feel in the real worlds it matters little to the general population, it seems to matter more to us who feel it is a cause of stopping us becoming who we really are

I feel lucky being 5.5 and wear a size 7.5-8 in womens shoes.

Oh, I'm jealous of that shoe size! :laugh:  But big feet run in my family.  I'm 5'11" with size 11 feet.  My sister's 5'10" with size 10 feet.  Most inexplicable, my mom is 5'7" with size 10 feet.  I never had any chance of small feet. ;D

I'm 5'7" which I think is a pretty good height for me.  Oddly enough I'm the tallest of all my siblings so we're a pretty short bunch.

Anything that fits! The sleeves aren't a problem (although they can be with some of the things I've tried on). It's more about the length of tops. I fine it's really hard to try and find something that even comes down to my rear. Every time I sit down or bend over my lower back shows. It's sooo uncomfortable!

I feel like I have to buy anything long, regardless of the price or quality, just so it fits. It's annoying not being able to go into any store I want to buy stuff.

I'm 5' 8" with a shoe size of 10W or 11.
I always say I have a good understanding.  :D

i'm 5'7" and my shoe size is a women's 8....i'm praying i dont get any bigger....i wish i was shorter and my feet were smaller though X( lol

I know this feeling very well.  Some of the tops I bought for work are short enough to show my lower back while I'm sitting and it's super annoying.  One of the things you can do is wear a sweater/cardigan/vest also to help cover up.  Most of these are made longer than your everyday tops so they work great.  Depending on what patterns you have though, it could be difficult to find a combination that looks good.

I'm five feet nine inches and wear a size 13 in ladies shoe. Have been fortunate to find some in styles that I like.                                                                                                                               Gennee

I'm 5ft4. I don't mind too much except those awkward times reaching for things in the supermarket or on a crowded tube train in the summer....
