first of all,sorry if this question has been asked before :police:
I am 178cm , pretty tall for Asian girl, I used to be swimmer, thats why I am the tallest in my family I guess .. My dad is about 174cm , my mum is about 155cm.
I used to be self conscious when I first started transitioning , I rarely wear high heels because of my height .. but now I am very happy with my height .. whenever I go to China town, I feel like I am the tallest Asian girl & I am fine with it LOL (sometimes I pretend that I'm a model when I go shopping, when others look at me because of being Asian girl & pretty tall .. lol)

so how tall are you ? (MTF , FTM or any genders feel free to share your opinions, thanks!) do you have any problem with your height ?
I'm always the tallest girl in the room at 6'2". I don't ever wear heels.
For the Americans who don't know metric -- 178cm is 5'10". I had to look up the conversion :)
I'm 5'8" (152cm...I had to look that up too), which is borderline short for American men and borderline tall for women. I'm pretty happy with my height now. I can get away with medium heels and still blend in easily.
Also 6'2"... murg... gets me a lot of stares.
(or 188 cm for anyone who's not from 'Merica.)
6'3"/190cm...me is a tall chick! Doesn't get me as many stares as I thought it would, quite a few tall cis women in Sydney, which helps me seem not too freaky tall.
I was a flat 6', but I've lost almost an inch since starting HRT due to posture changes and musculature shrinkage. Still too tall for heels really :(
ah thanks Katie ! yes I am 5'10" ;D
same height as Tyra Banks

5'8" ~ 173cms which better meets your description. 152 cms would even be very small for a woman... :)
Since, I'm here, I'm just under 183cms which means I'm about 6'....

Stupid metric system! Yes, it makes sense. Yes, it's all based on 10's. Blah, blah, blah. I'm an American and we don't do metric.

Exactly the same here. I'm slightly shorter than most guys.

@Kimberley hi-5 ! :D
180cm, seems worse when I see it in metric.
My ID says I am 183 cm (6'), but it is too old measuring. Before I started HRT, I was 181 cm (5'11,3"), today I measured my height again and I was nicely surprised, that I was 179,5 cm (5'10,6") :)
I was 6'3" when I started I know I have lost some but I wear heels all of the time and I rarely see anyone eye to eye it sure is nice when I do though! If you are tall you have got to look good because everyone is looking, to bad , I am just tall :)
5'6, or 167 cm. I'm short, but eh. I'm so used to being my height that I can't imagine being shorter or taller. I used to wear crazy heels when I was young though.
170cm and 60 kg. I wear heels whenever. I have a close friend who is well over 6' 4" and wears massive heels, about 6' 10" in them or taller, I cannot see her face :laugh: not a worry to her!
6' 1", with bad knees and ankles. I have a tendency to do what was in the OP's clip (spontaneous face plant). :-X No heels for me unless they are boots.
I tend to bounce between roughly 5'7 1/2 - 5'8. Last time I was at the doctor's office, I was 5'8 on the money.
Wow, Just realized that I've lost about 1/2 an inch, was 6'2"
I'm 5'8", borderline small-medium frame size. I wouldn't mind being a little shorter even though there are a LOT of girls around here that are my height or taller.
I started out life at 6 ft tall. When I first experimented with transitioning over 30 years ago, the height of most women around my age was like 5 ft 4 inches. I had already spent most of my life being an easily spotted target of ridicule. I wasn't up to volunteering for a lifetime of it.
Some 30 years later it is a far different world. I often see 6ft tall women in heels. Plenty of 5 ft 10'ers. Still plenty of short ones too. When I am out on the streets I don't get anxious over my height. I am a bit closer to my goal height thanks to gravity, but I am still 5'11" and over 6 ft in heels which I often wear since I love doing girlie girl. Sometimes I do get what I feel is a too long of a stare. I can't know exactly what is in their head. I do know for certain that a) I am tall. b) I am thin. c) I am in a nice skirt or dress. d) In in a land where women in my age group gave up long ago and many are double the weight they should be and dress like slobs. Gee... any wonder I might get looked at?
I'm 5'3" and practically hate it lol. I would be in heaven at 5'6" at least but thinking about shoving 3 inch shoe inserts into my shoes just makes my calve muscles cringe.
My husband is 6'1" so I practically look like a child next to him.
I'm 5' 11" (maybe 6' + by now :( ), which would make me pretty tall in general (ugh). Even before I knew I was trans, I wished I was shorter. Funny note: whenever I see 1) guys who're taller than me 2) women who're around my height (and some even taller than me :o ) I feel happy and want to stand next to them and be like "Look how short I am." :laugh:
I was 187cm but I have lost a centimeter since HRT!
I was so paranoid at first about my height but I realised it is probably the one thing I can do absolutely nothing about so I stopped worrying :)
"Shoulders back, head up, NO SLOUCHING!" Had that drilled into me as a kid, serving me well now!
Also, I stumbled on this. Does anyone else find it funny to have a conversion tool that goes from metric (cm) to feet with a decimal point? Strange.
http://www.onlineconversion.com/length_common.htm
I'm now 5' 8 3/4", I started out at 5' 9 1/2", but have shrunk over the years (nothing to do with estrogen, just age).
1.77 quite tall for a girl but whatever...
Hex, I'm shorter. I'm 5'2" (157) when I stand very straight and have shoes on. heh.
I think some of these wonderful ladies should give us their tallness.
191cm or a little over 6'3" and for better or worse, it's all legs. When I sit I'm okay. When I stand, I lean back in my hips, which helps hide so height - I've always just done this naturally, I'm not trying to hide my height.
i'll say i'm 5'3 on a good day lol it sucks
Stereotypical short trans man: 5'1"/ 155 cm. Mostly I laugh about it. I would never get risers for my shoes.
--Jay
I am 183cm ~6'.
I stand at 5',9", which I guess is the average height for most women . . .
5'9.5" here, and terrified of heels. Funny, as a boy in grade school I always wished I was taller (my brother is 6'2"), and now I wish I could shrink a few inches. Maybe I just need more tall friends? Ha!

Same here.
I don't really mind being short though.

if i could, i would give you my 3" LOL :'(
5'8" for years and years, 5'7" my last trip to the doctor's office. I used to think I was too tall, but honestly, I'm only a little over average height (5'5" last I heard) and I don't stand out in a crowd, so I'm content.
5 feet 6 inches tall (167 CM).
5'8" currently. I'm pretty sure I was 5'10" at some point. Perhaps I'll shrink more as I get older?
6'2 . Really wish i was 2 or 3 inches shorter tho. You under 6 ft girls make me a tad jelly
Yeah, I'd rather be about 5'10"
A mere 5ft :(
Does it bother me? Not really. It does when I think about it, but I don't often think about it. It bothers me more now that I realise I'm trans, because I'm short for a girl, but for a guy, I'm miniscule. The worst thing is basically, finding men's pants that fit me is pretty much impossible.
5'8" here. As a guy I was borderline short but as a woman I'm just a tad taller than average. That doesn't stop me from wearing my 4" heels though lol..... Love me some heels!
I'm 178cm (I think thats 5'10'/11" in merica language), but then again I live in Australia and there's lots of girls around 170-185cm. Maybe its the sun, were like flowers, it makes us grow more :P. Btw, 1st post...yay for me :D

hi there, yay , same height ! I am 178cm tall as well
I'm Adelaide girl btw :) Which part of Australia are you from ?
oh and I just bought a pair of 4" heels as well ha ha
I was 5'10" last I checked, a few years ago. I assume I still am, as I'm fairly young and not on HRT yet. I used to kind of obsess over being shorter, but it hasn't really bothered me lately. Actually, I had no idea there were so many women over 6' here. I kind of feel short now, lol.
I am 6'3, and I would gladly give away 5 -9 inches, if I could! I tend to wear flats or small 2-inch heels, so that I do not tower over everyone more than I have to.
I'm just over 6' and I love my height. I wouldn't give up an inch.
Most people on the planet want to be taller and find height attractive. In fact there are even studies that indicate direct correlations between height and things like average income or chance of being hired. Height is one of the very, very few evolutionary advantages that trans women get. Try to enjoy it, nah? Head up, shoulders back, spine straight and walk like you own the world.
The most common comment regarding my height? "Excuse me, but are you a model?" :P

Well technically born in Tasmania(waits for the jokes.....ya,ya, whateverrr :P) but grew up in a country town 500km from Adelaide,before my family moved upto Brisbane. Soon as I was old enough I left for the Gold Coast. And yea Ive been eyeing off some Roxy Lace up Ugg Boots on ebay :P

This ^
I'm a bit over 6'4" (194cm) barefoot.
5'11" and while I would wish I could gladly give some of my height away. One of the advantages of living in Australia is we are bread tall down here, so your height does blend in with the crowd
5'6" without shoes, 5'7" with shoes.
I wish I was 6', but hey! Miracles happen and I'm still growing according to my measurements and the doctor. *laughs* :laugh:
I'm a little over 5'8 but 5'9 with shoes.
6"3" (190.5 cm)
If I could wish upon a star for height I would wish for 6' (183 cm). So as time go's by I will become my wish. :)
6'0" maybe the tiniest bit under, but pretty much 6' even. I'm not on hrt and I feel I'm very cartilagey and muscular for someone with not a ton of meat on the bones, so if I got down an inch or even close, I'd be elated.

Sorry, that's about 182-183cm, I believe. I really want to wear heals w/o being much taller than I am now. I really am hoping to lose some height. I use to think I was about 6'2" until I realized I wasn't, lol, I was pretty off...
5' 10" and I tell anyone who asks that I always wished I was 6' but didn't quite make it. (true) I thought I was too tall until I met a woman at work who towered over me height, width and strength wise. Total GG and she made me feel petite by comparison.
5"2 I'm so short ugh lol

lol that good thing isn't it ? you can wear 5" heels without any problem haha ;D
5'4" or 162cm. Always liked my height.
6'7" (200 cm), it hasn't cause any issues passing. The other day I was at Wendy's and someone walked up behind me and they said to someone else: "Damn, that's a tall woman!!!"
Heels however, are pretty much a no-no for me. I have a pair of 3 inch heel boots and with them I hid the door frames in the house.

so how tall are you ? (MTF , FTM or any genders feel free to share your opinions, thanks!) do you have any problem with your height ?
I'm 5'6" and about 100 pounds fully clothed.
I'm 170 cm (slightly less than 5'7"). I would've been taller if I didn't have to take cortisone for severe asthma in childhood - in sixth grade (thirteen years old) I was the lowest student in my class. But then I was taken off the cortisone, and my growth accelerated. Thankfully the whole thing still made me shorter than I would have been; now I'm within the normal for both genders.
I'm 5'11 which is tall for Asian girls, however I have seen some Asian women around my work who are this height and they look beautiful and confident!
i'm a gigantic 6'2. god how i hate being tall xD someone switch heights with me xD

I wish! Though a sudden change like that might be slightly disorienting.
I'm 167cm so I think that's about 5'5 in imperial units. I'm still growing but haven't gotten any taller in years and I hope it stays that way. :P

They were also wearing shoes with a very low heel! Its not a common sight but makes me feel a bit better when I see them.
6'1" here. I used to be shorter and smaller than most of my peers until my teens at which point I exploded upward. I don't really mind it because gaining height was critical in helping me get over my extreme childhood shyness. One thing height provides is an intimidation factor. Just wishing my hands, feet and head were a bit smaller though. Overall I'm pretty fortunate physically as it relates to transition but finding properly-fitting female clothing is difficult due to my lankiness.
I'm 6'0 or just below. Ever since I was 16, I've tended to be the tallest person in the room. Honestly, I used to hate that, and often wished to be smaller. Now that I'm coming to terns with being trans, though, it doesn't seem like such a big deal, and I rather think I'd like being a tall chick. There's something about the thought that's kind of empowering- no stepstool to reach the top shelves, not for this girl. :)
The weather up here's fine, by the way.
Teg
there was few times when i go to Asian grocery store, some girls asked me for a hand to reach top shelves & got things for them ;D
I'm Eurasian and live in a major city in Asia and my height of 5ft 7ins (170cm). We are shorter - both male and female - than the west and also northern chinese who tend to be taller.
I am 5' 8 1/2" as for metric, I ain't really sure. Just measured my self yesterdayout of curiosity.
