Hello I'm Vincentia a 20 year old pansexual female from Texas thinking about becoming a man :D
I have always had the desire in the back of my mind, but what concerns me is that I am only 5'2. I know that my height shouldn't be stopping me from being comfortable in my own skin and living the life that I have always wanted, however it makes me wonder if I'll be able to play on the "stereotypical male roles". I have tried doing some research on short men (Prince, Kevin Hart, and Charles Manson are all my height! Lol) though I'll love to know straight from a transman what it's like to be one of the shorter guys, both the pros and the cons as well as everybody's elses opinions on the subject.
Sorry for a personal and lousy introduction, but I'm currently itching for some answer's :P
Thank you for reading my post and I hope to hear from you soon.
Have a marvelous day!

I know a ftm transgender guy who is just short of is operation. He is about 5'2 as well, and frankly no one would dare question is manhood, not even me who knew him before hrt :D
So rest assured.... Height is no issue.
Sadly he is not openly talking about it on the net so i can't show you a picture.
Welcome! I can relate to you feeling short, I'm only 5'5 while most cis guys are around 5'8 or higher. However, there are short guys out there and I feel better knowing that there's guys like Daniel Radcliffe that are my height.
[Myarkstir] Thank you for sharing with me your friends situation while still respecting his identity! HaHa I don't think that I would be one to bulk up on the muscles to hard (assuming that your friend has a very masculine appearance) though I'm glad to know that I can still hold off a man's stand at this height! At least I can hope to also be one to not be bothered proving my manhood at every corner

As I read through the introductions it amazes me how similar everyone's story is with regard to the early age of questioning gender to the experiences battling through it. It seems as though children should be told that this is normal before they have to deal with all the negative feelings alone. I know my life would have been markedly different. Sigh, maybe one day.

I hear that so loudly Toni. My first recollection of questioning, I was 4. I started HRT at 59.
