Many members on here are taller than that including some of my fellow moderators. I'm almost that tall myself. We pass just fine despite that fact. I hope that helps. Hugs

193 cm here (6'4") - or at least that's all I'll ever admit to and no problems. Height alone will not out you...

I'm close!! I'm 177cm!!

Also, bear in mind that a lot of female celebrities are deceptively tall, especially models!!

If you're 178cm, you're as tall as Taylor Swift!! ;D xxx

Same as me.  One of my trans friends is 6'5"-6'6" and she's super cute.  (And stealth!)

Another 188cm at 6'2" here. Never really had a problem with the hight other than locating stuff to wear but there is a bunch of that around. Funny thing is that's the minimum hight for men in the local tall club. I can join it and never worry about violating their hight restrictions.

There are tall genetic women too.

I'm 5'11 my cis cousin is 6'5, I don't think it affects passing but being super model height if you dress to the 9's you will draw attention.

I just did a check, the hight for a woman at the tall club is 5'10" which means you barely measure up to join the club as a woman. Walk into one of their meetings and you will be one of the shortest people in the room among CIS people.

you are definitely not too tall.

200cm (6'7") girl here and no one even suspects I'm not cis unless they knew me before or I tell them. You do get a lot of attention as a very tall woman (and I get hit on all the time even at my age.) Don't forget that there are cis women out they that are even taller at 6'9".

I really dont see height as an issue.  Most cis men are shorter than me 181cm.

While it's true a tall trans woman may get a few curious looks it doesn't mean they've been read as trans. A volunteer woman at my new job recently exclaimed "I love your height, I'm very jealous!"...who would've thunk it???

6'4" tall here and proud of it :) I'll never be great at hide and seek but oh boy am I good at spotting people in a crowd and finding the car just fine :D Gotta look at the silver linings hehe, also height is only one issue, my biggest one is shoe size, at 17UK I've had a struggle to find shoes, found some that might work but gotta have a proper look :) But oh well, these things we must deal with as ladies lol xx

Lol you call yourself "Ilovehormones" on here, but you hate testosterone? Maybe you meant to say "Iloveestrogen" rather lol

Seriously though, many of us are taller than you. I am six feet tall even (183 cm) and my older sister is the same height as you, 178 cm.

I am not really into "bumping" threads of mine, but some time ago I wrote one where there's actually very useful info for the ones of us who want to try and look less tall in public.

Here's the link:
https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,186323.0.html (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,186323.0.html)

==You may look specifically at the first message and the link I mentioned in it, and then at reply #45, where I am talking about anterior pelvic tilt and height decrease, which I illustrate using a couple of images. This stuff has helped me in real life when I stand in line at the bank or any other place with many people, when I don't want to look so tall.
