Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Ok why would i have this i LOVE SKIRT thing .  I tell my wife she looks at me like REALLY .Are we low heel kind of girls ? I have SEXY legs to bad the rest OF me is not there. Some day i hope .What hair style do you think looks good on tall girl? My hair is at that its pissing me off stage ...All responses would be great .LOVE YOU GALS  troi..

I am 6'3".

I am losing some muscle and my legs are cooperating nicely.

My hair is growing and just above the bottom of my ears. I have some pretty good hair regrowth too. 

i know of quite a few cisgender women who are over 6'4" so its not as uncommon as one might think. Of course its a different story when all the rest of you like myself looks mostly male.

To answer as someone with a 6'6" sister....the skirt thing is easy to explain....they are amazing, comfortable and let you show the world that you have legs that go on for days.

To the shorter heel bit, NOPE...my sister suggests nothing shorter then 2.5 to 4 inches for any woman, but with your height avoid a heel with a platform at all costs because they will add height and take away from the more feminine shape and walk that heels give.

To the hair question, that's not so much of a tall vs short thing, but a face shape thing. A perfect example of this is someone with a rounder face like a younger Kloe Kardashian could pull off the bangs that she had perfectly. But someone with a thinner face like Kim or Michele Obummer really can't pull them off at all and look horrible. So to answer that question we would need to see some pics, but one hairstyle that seems to work well universally is the Inverted Stacked Bob....if you wanna make it more of a unique thing try doing it asymmetrical...but if not you generally want the points to be chin length.

Hope i could help.

i'm only 5'3 sadly, i feel like a midget :/ i wish i was  a little taller though, tall women are beautiful

im 6'1 and I mostly wear my hair down, or pull from my ears back into a high sitting pony tail and leave the front down.

6'1 and a half.I have straight blonde/ash blonde hair midway between shoulders and breasts with bangs.I usually wear it down sometimes in a high pony tail or up in a clip or in a braid.I have celulitis and arthritis and find heels uncomfortable so it's flats.Amazons rock,remember big girls are beautiful!

I'm waiting for 'HRT made my feet shrink several sizes'   to show up in this topic too  :D

I'm 6'2" and 180lbs. My shoulders are fairly wide, and I wear skirts because I have the hope that that will lead the eye aways from my shoulders.

I wear heels because I like them, and I figure that if I'm already this tall then another inch or two isn't going to make much difference.

And I fully expect to shrink about 8 inches once I've started HRT... ;)

Some days I'm 6'2" and some days I'm 6'3". Depends on who's taking my measurements and how close to when I woke up they took it. I am not that heavy though at 170 pds.

I like heels and I've took to them like a duck to water but I'm just not as comfortable in stiletto heels. They always feel like they are about to snap. Skirts are nice too but I do love some hip hugging jeans ;)

6'2" here as well, built like a linebacker but trying to shrink down to quarterback.  And yes, I rock skirts and dresses all the time.

6'3"  and a lovely corpulent ogrish figure at 435 lbs.

6'2" skirts yes if I don't feel bloated, heels never!  I almost always wear my hair down.

BTW the hair style depends on your face shape, your age, and your occupation

I'm 6'4".  I weigh 280 lbs.  My band size is 46, my bust size is 51.  In short, I look like a pro linebacker who drives a truck in the off-season.  With boobs.

I love heels, skirts, little black dresses.  However, they don't make me look good, I make them look bad.

If I just want to go about my daily business as a woman, I need to tone it down.  Flats, jeans, plain tops, etc.  Much as I would like to dress differently all the time, I just don't need to draw any more attention to myself.  Plain and simple gets me by.  And androgynous for the time being.  Maybe someday, I'll change enough, from HRT, diet and exercise, to indulge my preferences.  Oh well, I'm 99% glad to be me in whatever form I can get  ;)  I'll just have to wait for that other 1%.

Your ahead of my clothing wear .I am just a little lighter but not much .My brain is adjusting to female feel great. but got work on the body and my walk and talk .It takes young girls awhile to learn so will us  tall ladies!!

The girl in me just screams skirts are HOT .this sounds weird but tall heels scare the girl in me (timber !!) Thanks 

I'm 6'3 I don't tend to wear heels often but do own a few pairs. I used to wear a lot when I did drag before transitioning but since then my feet just can't take anything over 2.5inches. LMAO. I love high heels but my feet just cant take them and they dont tend to make tons in my size 13 feet LOL. But when I do see something manageable and at a good price I buy.

I wear my hair how ever the heck I want LOL

Is 13 about 12 in mens size? I see more 13 and 14 then i thought there would be  , Hair thats like please just comb brush oh heck ( what ever you win hair )

I'am 6'2 and around 140 pounds. I have long legs but I'am not really big on dresses so I choose to wear leggings or skinny jeans instead just my preference. Idk feels better to me.

As for hair, I usually just throw it over my shoulder and tie it. :)

I don't do skirts,celulitis has left my right leg badly swollen and discoloured.

fusstangtroy no idea if 13 is 12 in mens sizes LOL its been many many years since iv worn mens shoes haha

It depends on the brand but roughly yes a women's size 13 is a men's size 12.

Really same height to same height I don't think a transwomans feet are that much larger than a ciswomans. They just don't make shoes for tall women or women with big feet.

Try telling that to the transwoman with this problem.  In men's shoes.

I've got other advantages, so I'm not complaining too much,  but lord do I have big feet.

I'm 6'2, 150lbs, and I wear my hair the way it is in my photo, or a loose ponytail. I have 3" heels, and i like a-line skirts of all lengths! Boot cut pants can make your legs look pretty long as well!

6' 2" 155lbs  love my short skirts as well as my long sundresses :)

Nothing wrong at all with being a tall girl! My sister is 6ft and my Nordic princess spouse is 6ft as well

I am 6'1 and wrestle with the issue regularly...feeling very much the frilly linebacker. But even this, I believe, is part of womanhood...being held to a much stricter physical gender definition, and has opened me to the beauty of individuality. Sure, I struggle to lose weight...I am not saying I am above the impact of it. But truly...women do come in all shapes and sizes. Life begins when we start to accept and celebrate who we are  :D

Thanks .Your mind set is great .maybe after i loose some weight i can relax and just be the best girl i can be .Troi

Being tall put me off transition more than anything else in my early 20s.I stopped growing at 15.I had planned to transition in early 1979 but a lack of confidence and knowledge put me off and I tried to blot it out with booze and weed.I put a lot of weight on with HRT though now I'm around 250 lb.I was skinny as a guy and the only thing I miss is having a 26" waist.
I see a lot more tall women 6' and over today I even have a "twin",there's another trans woman in my town and we are often mistaken for each other.

I stopped growing early too, at age 13, thank god.  My whole life I was told I was going to be 6'6" and my arms actually grew to fit that size so I have these monkey arms.

When you are 6'2" at 13, the middle school hallways are a sea of bobbing heads.  People caught up to me in high school though, where I was not the tallest person in school anymore.  Now I'm not even the tallest woman I know, but I will always feel gawky and awkward because of middle school.
