I'm curious as to the different heights of us Trans Women (without heels). (BTW, I'm 6'7")

5'10"
I could wish I were shorter, but I'm pretty happy with it. These days I'm happy with most things.

6'3"... I really thought it would be a problem but my height hasn't attracted any undue attention. Living in a big city means people have probably already seen everything anyway. Certainly I've seen a few cis women close to my height. I work with a 6'1" woman.

5'10". I feel fine with that in most places except for where I live right now. Everyone else here always seems so short. Even at that height I feel like a giant sometimes here. How does that happen? I need to move back "home". At least my two giant Nordic friends still make up for that.

5'8" Glad I'm not much taller. I've seen plenty of girls who are taller, but I still avoid any heals or wedges that are more then like 2 inches.

Was 6'3" with a pencil neck, since starting HRT everything else has shrunk probably that also. I wear 3"-4" heels all the time cause I can't walk on flats they kill my back so I am up where the air is clearer and my SO can find me in a store much easier.

I'm 5'5'' in my class I'm one of the shortest between the guys, and in the girls I'm average, there are girls taller than me that play volleyball u_u I hate heels so I will probably never wear them, maybe just in super special occasions like weddings

I was 5'8" when I started HRT, but every doctor in the past 3 years has measured me at 5'7", so I guess I am now. :)
I used to think I was too tall, but I got over it.

6'2", at first I was a bit nervous about that, but then I started noticing gals my height and even a bit taller
Most of them were from the university and would understandably ignore me before transition, but after a few years of HRT I noticed that they would smile and some would stop to talk as though I was a senior member of some kind of of secret tall woman's club
I would mostly just smile and listen because I was nervous about my voice and wanted to study their tone and inflection, still working on my voice a bit

6'4" and no longer worried about it, one because I can't change it and two because no one seems to say anything. Since getting comfortable I realized to positives - clothes look better on tall women as opposed to short women in many cases (there's a reason runway models are so tall) and second people willingly and subconsciously give taller people including women deference and authority.
I'll take my height now all day long and well into the evening!!
I still prefer sandals and flats but a 3 inch heel is fine if the shoe is right!

5.7 since I was about 12.
I always thought I was short, since my dad was 6.1. I was the shortest out of three half brothers, and one half sister.
What made me happy, was when I found out that the avg height of someone with untreated AIS was 5.7.

I'm 5-5 and proportionately long legged. Yes I'm a lil lucky in a few areas but unlucky in others like most. We all have our good and bad points physically. Some can be hidden with the right outfit others can't. It's just the way of things. Cis girls have the same problems. It's all part of being women.

5'8" . At night I'm just under but it hardly counts lol It honestly doesn't bother me in the slightest though because it's very easy to find guys bigger than me & it seems guys only want someone who isn't taller so it's not a problem :3 I'd love to shrink to 5'6" though. I feel that's the perfect height

Quote from: Wild Flower on November 23, 2014, 02:11:40 PMI'm 5-5 and thin, however I'm not sure I agree that if your short you gotta be thin to look feminine. I get comments all the time about my tinyness and long legs for my height that quite frankly do become annoying at times. However I have girl friends both trans and cis who are heavier than I who look dam good. They are more curvy, get more dates, and are considered more normally sized while I'm considered skinny. Some of these girls are shorter than I too. One is only 5 ft. 2 in. Women come in all shapes and sizes and I just don't believe one's height and weight has much to do with how femmine they are or appear to be. IMHO, that is.

When I restarted HRT I was 5'8" but after 2 years on HRT and with my increased wight on my bottom and hips and more projection on my chest, I have found that my centre of gravity has changed and it is much easier when standing to arch my back, also I appear to have dropped an inch in height. So I voted 5'7" in stocking feet.
Mind you I like wearing 2.5" heels so it puts me up to 5'10" in heels.

I'm 5' 6.5" and should be grateful for that I suppose but would love to be something closer to the female average of 5'4".
Given the rate of age related height loss I should there in about another 30 years.

Think I already replied to this, so this is a refresher. I'm 5-5 barefoot however a 4" heel is natural for me to wear so that puts me at 5 ft 9" in my normal footwear.
I do have 5 & 6" heels as well but these aren't my everyday shoes.
