'Cause I saw one for the FTMs, so I figured there ought to be one over here, too.
I'm 5'10".
I'm 5'9". It's an ok height for a female but would like to be a few inches less.
5'11" my whole life I hated my height but now that I can find clothes and some shoes it's not bad. Depending on what you wear you def get looks
5'11". I hate my height! And the size 13 feet that go with it. I am the tallest in my family, what luck.
I'm 5'7" with size 9 feet
5ft7 :) feet size 6UK

sorry hun i think we all get abit jealous from some of the ladies on here from time to time, i know i do nothing wrong with being 5'11 some modelling agencies wont accept you unless your over 5ft8 :)
For me jealousy makes me work harder to the final goal... And a compliment all in one.
I hope none of the taller girls here feel shy about posting. I think 6'+ girls are super sexy.
Kind of lucky, 5' 9 & size 9.5 to a 10 womens shoes, medium to small size hands. Profile pic a few weeks ago. But my upper body is just too thick, yuck, yuck, yuck.

Totally agree! My best friend is 6'. She is stunning! Another friend is 6'2". Both GG.

Hehe~ Now if I can only be as beautiful as Hikari someday. :)
Maybe you are and you just don't see it. We are our own worst critic...
I have been told numerous times how feminine I am getting... But I don't see it. ;D
I'm 6'2 1/2, and that's probably my biggest cause of sadness. In some photos, I actually start to think I could pass. Then, I see myself next to some other girls in a photo, a mirror or a window, and I see this big dude in a dress.
Who knows, maybe after some time on HRT, I will lose more muscle and see things differently.
Best,
Cate
5'7" with size 11w shoe.
I'm 6'3 with size 12 feet. It's hard finding tops when you have to try on everything to see the sleeve and body length. Need to gain weight when I start HRT so I can just buy large. Sucks being tall and skinny.

Sweetie, please don't feel like you don't pass because of your height. It absolutely doesn't make you look any less feminine. I'm sure you don't look like a dude in a dress. Probably more like a supermodel with sexy legs that go on forever. ;)
*huggles*
When I'm out an about an see someone taller than me I wish I was sociable enough to stop them and ask where the hell they shop
5'10" size 11 1/2 4e shoes and like a 20-21 " shoulders ugh.

Being tall is not a death sentence hon... It is just another unique part of you. There was a girl on YouTube but I can't remember her name. She looked stunning in her transition and was 6'1 or so.
Normal only exists in the mind and if we were all exactly the same, what a boring life that would be.
5"2 115 pounds size 7 shoes :/ I'm short lol

Cate, I am exactly an inch taller than you, which based on the poll right now makes me about 2nd tallest person so far. I might be tall, but I also weighed 158 this morning, which about gives me the weight / height ratio of a super model. I know I standout in regards to my height, and the smart advice would be not to wear heels, but I absolutely love them, and they make my legs look a lot better. I know that when I go clubbing, I am likely going to be tallest person on the dance floor of either gender. The harsh lighting in the picture below does nothing for my face, but you can see my height pretty clearly. With those boots, I am about 6'8". I hate the whole idea of blending in, for the sake of blending in. I rather get noticed than be invisible.

Nothing wrong with being a tall woman.. Most models are tall, then they slap on a pair of heels to be even taller and men want to be with them and woman try to be them... :D

Thanks for all the positive comments....your awesome! I do find being taller makes maxi's and certain dresses look pretty fab. This year really has been the breakout year on shopping in person rather on line

:) I try. Just speaking the truth.
And tall would be better than my pudgy butt!
Be confident and be real, the world has enough fake people.
I'm 5 ft. 5 inches tall, and wear a size 7 or 8 (depends on brand) Narrow women's shoe. 13 inch shoulders and I fluxuate just under 120 pounds. Proportionally I'm all legs and arms, lol!. ;)
Hey I too think tall girls are sexy!
Ally :icon_flower:
I listed 5'9" but that's not accurate really. I tend to measure around 5'8.75" to 5'8.5" depending on certain factors. My biggest issue are large feet - women's size 12W. Selection in that size is really difficult but I've found several things. I really just want a nice black flat that doesn't slip off my feet. I need the 12W but the heel area is really narrow. This caused issues in men's shoes too.
Interestingly I have a GG friend who needs 10Ws with almost the same foot shape, and who has given me some online shopping tips.
Hmm currently 5'9' in size 10 women's. I hope the hrt fairy will continue to do well for me. I'm four months in and I swear I've become slightly shorter.
Though I still feel pretty tall around most cis girls. Though I like to find the occasional tall one and hover around them. lol

Zappos has a good selection of shoes
I have to say something here: a lot of us are like super worried about this idea of blending in. I would rather be sexy and standout than to just disappear. A lot of super models are very very tall by CIS women standards. They standout because they don't blend in.
I am 6 ft, size 10 shoe and 170 lbs
I am comfortable with my height.There is positives and negatives,I bump my head a lot, but I can't complain about a 35 " inseam.

I totally get the blending in thing, and I make no judgment on people who choose to go that route. Somebody once said about my style that it is "loud and provocative', but it sort of works for me. I tend to think that is the authentic me. Yes, I never will be a woman that nobody thinks twice about her origins, but I can have a lot of fun with the sexuality I have worked so hard to acquire, and that is my real goal. As a male, I have lived an incredibly serious and dutiful life. Now I intend to have a little fun. My goal in life is to relocate to a trans friendly resort community such as Key West, and to be a regular on the local club scene. It will be a shallow life, but I have earned it, and then some.

Hehe~ Now if I can only be as beautiful as Hikari someday. :)
Aww, come on now you are going to make me blush :P
It would be interesting to know the race next to the height, so one could be less self-conscious of our own height.
See I am white Caucasian, I am 6 feet tall even. I have a cis woman sister who is 5" 10', almost as tall as me, which lead me to think that for people my race, my height would be close to average but maybe I am wrong. Oh and for the record I have two brothers as well, each of them is around 6 feet tall as well, so if they were MTF as me, I guess they would be considered tall women as well, but we never considered ourselves so tall since in our family we have cousins way taller than us.
I was under the impression that 6 feet tall would be the 1st or 2nd most popular height in this poll but it seems I am wrong so I am back to being self-conscious about my height now.
6'2" and I own every inch it. Might as well because I had no choice in the matter.
Wow, another height topic
I am still 6'2" Same as in all the other past height threads
5'9" here. Sure, I do tend to stand out, but the added confidence boost is totally worth it. Besides, apparently there are many guys which find tall and athletic girls to be attractive.

That's funny, VM. I hope you are well GF. Take care.
I am 5'10ish.
When I was at the ANZpath I seen a girl who had to be 6'4 she was very statuesque, which is incredibly sexy if you ask me. In fact I seen a great deal of cis girls in a large shopping centre who all stood at 6 foot+ without heels, which makes me wonder if females are getting taller or I am getting shorter hehe! I was watching women to learn how they interact as I live in a small rural area so this was a prime time to observe and learn.
5'4" I used to hate being short, now I am happy I am!
6'3"!
5'10" here. Dunno where some of you are from but thats actually quite common a height for aussie women (cis). On the taller side sure but I'd say 30% plus would fall into that bracket here.
Hmm... Interesting results so far. I thought I would be one of the shorter members at 5'10". The last time I saw a height thread in the MTF section, it seemed like most of the people who responded were over 6'.
5'9". Not short and not tall, just pretty much average in my area.
Almost 5'7" (169 cm)
Women here are usually shorter, and man are usually taller, so I am on the mid =)
5'8" and size 8 UK shoes. Sadly my hands are a bit on the large side but there are worse things in life!
Well compared to the other girls I'm a giant lol tall skinny
6 ft 3 size 12 shoes
6,3'', 11,5 shoes, 24 years old and extremly skinny.
Starting HRT soon, hope i get to pass as good as Grace. She's an inspiration. :)
5'7.5" But I voted as 5'8"

Same, but just voted 5' 7". (:
I'm 5' 7" but way too chunky, could probably stretch out to a very nice looking 6' but it is what it is!
5'8" on my DL and other documents.
In reality without shoes I used to be around 5'7.5"
Now I don't know what the heck happened but I'm down to about 5'6". How does THAT happen?
Will HRT shrink me even more? I really hope not. I'd rather have my shoulders, ribs and hands shrink.
Shoe size - 9 mens, which is 10.5 women's.

I have to agree, there is no point in blending in with everyone else. Women are becoming taller this decade so it's not truly out of the box to see a tall one. Besides who doesn't like a long sleek body. =)
Personally my height isn't condemning to me and I enjoy wearing tall heels. I waited my entire life to openly display myself and I'm now going to enjoy it. =)
Quite honestly at 5' 7" I am envious of taller women, they always look so much prettier in their clothes, most of the female models range from 5' 10" to 6+ feet tall. There is nothing prettier than long shapely legs on a woman!
With shoes, I am 5'5" 2/3, but without them, probably around 5'5". I am actually quite short, though I am taller than most old ladies, however nowadays girls are getting taller and taller. In my grade (12th) I felt like I was an average taller girl, but just the grade below, I feel like I am rather average for a girl. I think both boys and girls are getting much taller these days!!! So, more power to the lovely tall t girls and women!!
I'm 6' even. I used to be closer to 6'1" before starting HRT though. It's definitely taller than I would like to be, but considering that my brother is nearly 6'3", things could have been worse...
I've just done another "Vanishing Act". It used to be the male version of it: 5'8", 5'7", 5'6", Poof! You're gone! You don't actually exist any more.
Now, if you look at the above poll, I've just done the MTF Vanishing Act: 5'6", 5'5", 5'4", Poof! You're gone! And yet there are quite a few ciswomen who are smaller than me.
For the record I'm 5'3", 110 pounds, shoe size generally 5-5 1/2. It's a good size to be. Actually one of the big advantages in coming out of the closet: at long last you can start finding clothes that fit you. Finding male clothes (especially shoes) for someone my size can be a problem. So I'm happy at long last to be me.
I wish I could find cute shoes in size 11!

I'm the tallest girl here I believe that has voted at
6"7"My shoe size is a women 11-13W depending on the shoe.
I'm 250, so not super model proportions, (US Women's size 16). I'd like to get to 210 or so. My HRT doctor considers my weight healthy for my age and height, and my cholesterol is 189 and my BP is 110/70.
When wearing heals I try not to go over 3 inches because then I hit door frames walking into most rooms. I have met one cis-woman my height and another cis woman that was 6'8", so tall cis girls are out there, just very rare. My height has never clocked me (I haven't been clocked since March), but I do get a lot of attention and I've been complimented by both men and women on my height. I had one guy nearly drool at me at the bank a few weeks ago.
5' 5" 120 lbs, size 9 shoes.
6'2 and damn proud of it.
Size 12 shoe.
Pikachuuuu... how could you be so heightist and have a category of "below"?? Hnmph! ;)
I'm apparently around 5'2", size 5 (UK) feet.
As a guy I went crazy trying to get elegant clothes and shoes. How things have changed...

If you don't mind me asking where do you find shoes
I'm just barely 5'8" on a good day, and started out at 5'9.5". I'm also about 155 lbs, but I'm also one of those dense people that look about 10 lbs lighter than my actual weight.

Hehe~ Sorry, Julia. I had to cut it off somewhere, and 5'4" seemed like a reasonable place at the time I was making it. I wasn't expecting there to be so many people below that height. I'd go back and expand the poll, but since people have already voted in the "below" category...
Anyway, you have my envy, being such an absolutely adorable height.
5'10 too
size 10 for shoes. I actually love my shoe size since in every shoe store its usually stocked since a lot of women around here don't have that size. But I always run into tall ladies in the 10 section so it makes me feel better about my height. Buying new shoes is sooo therapeutic ;D
5'7" and 9.5 shoe; I lost about an inch of height and a shoe size on HRT, and I'm not complaining. :)
Average height of women around here seems to be *slightly* shorter than I am; maybe 5'6" or so. I can live with that.
Quote from: Ali girl on October 08, 2014, 08:47:41 PM
5'11". I hate my height! And the size 13 feet that go with it. I am the tallest in my family, what luck.
I'm 6', but otherwise what you wrote is true of me as well.
180 cm or 5'11" here, I heard that was the average for men in the Nordics (165cm or 5'5" for women). Of course a smaller frame would help with passing but as long as the HRT does its job with my face I'm fine. Might even become a source of pride. Funnily enough like Ali & Kaydee said I'm also the tallest in my family with two brothers. I wonder if they'll feel any inadequacy post-transition :D
Size 10 for shoes (we might need a poll for this too ^-^) took more work for me to accept, or really, I just stopped thinking about it at some point. It's mostly a nuisance when going shopping and then most shops don't have that size or they stop at 9,5. grrr.
Well I'm 5 ft 8 and weigh 141lb, which is pretty good I guess, (I have a pretty low bmi so I think it is) I do have size 11 feet though which sucks, I feel so out of proportion :p

Thanks for the kind words, Pikachu and April Lee! I do have my moments of contentment with my presentation, but sometimes, I just see too many masculine markers, and height is one of them. Bit, you are right, there are many beautiful tall girls these days.
And, today is my 2-month anniversary for starting HRT. So, I am optimistic that I will lose enough muscle to make up for my height with a more feminine torso!
xxoo,
Cate
I'm 5'7" currently!
Another 6'3' 185 lbs size 10 women's heels which is all I wear except when working then CB boots.Open toe heels just don't cut in a cow pasture :)
I'm 5'' 8 1/2", size 10 women's shoes. My hands are okay, long thin fingers with nails. I just had a bowl of ice cream and weighed myself this morning at 178. Which means I need to lose 30 lbs. all done by dieting because of my injuries. I was thin my entire life until the last 14 years, because of a botched knee replacement and MRSA, a terrible staph infection.
P.S. Although I haven't been going to the mall much because of how bad my hip and back are, everywhere I go I see other women and teenage girls in flats taller than me, at 5' 8 1/2" and my 3-4" heels. I always wear heels, because it puts my back at a different, less painful angle. I think it's great that my doctor says if you hurt less, wear heels.
I'm 6'0" tall, weigh about 165 lbs and wear a size 10.5 shoe (US). My torso is really long and my inseam is only 32".
It's annoying to say the least when it comes to trying to find something to wear. For some reason regular size pants are always just a little too short, but the tall pants I'm almost always stepping on.
As for tops, often they are too short (especially the cute ones!), which I guess I can make work when paired with some really high rise pants. If I go a size up I can usually find the right length, but then I'm practically swimming in it.
And then finding shoes that fit is just as much of a pain. Rarely do stores carry a 10.5. It's usually either 10s or 11s. Which means I'm hunting through both sections looking for a large 10 that doesn't cut the circulation off to my toes, or a small 11 that doesn't constantly slip off my foot. Arrrgh!
Don't get me wrong though, all those frustrations aside I still love shopping :) It just can take a while before I score a great find.
Oh to be under 6', although 6'3 is not going to stop me.
5'8 (might be 5'8.5), 220 lbs currently. I tried a "find your shoe size" method with tape measure and it says my size in women's is 7.5, but that sounds a bit small?
I'm 5' 9" and 230 lbs. and I still pass pretty well. I notice troublemakers tend to give me a wide berth, though! :laugh:
I have the same size feet as Elle Macpherson, who I met in 2010 she is heaps nice in real life and very pretty. She is a size 12 US and I currently own a pair of shoes she had when she was in Australia visiting. Long story short my sister in law knows her family and she stayed on their property for the weekend and left them there. When they went to send them back to her she said just keep them for me. She never took them back so I "permanently borrowed" them. They fit pretty perfectly with a bit of toe room to wiggle in. I like to think if she can pull of big feet any of us can.
6'1" here. It used to bother me, being tall and all, but I've learned to embrace it. In fact, now I think I'd rather be tall!
I am 6 ft tall and also the tallest in my family with size 10 to 11 feet (depending on the brand) I walk the streets and see many women as tall as me and guys who tower over me. My height gives me security though so it doen't bother me.
6' even, size 10 shoes. I used to think I was size 11 until I started actually shopping instead of scavenging clothes like a wardrobe vulture. I was pleased to discover I was actually 10 and that means that many (not all, but many) shoes actually come in my size occasionally! Thrift store shoe racks mock me mercilessly however.
I'm far less self conscious about my height now than I used to be... until I walk into a room of average height women who I don't know... then I kind of hunch down subconsciously...
My boss at work is cis and she's almost my height, it's actually quite comforting.

Try to avoid hunching. I have a 6'+ lady friend that hunched all her life and her presentation has taken a negative hit because of it. I really admire tall women who stand up straight and stick their chests out, it just speaks loudly of how proud and self assured they really are and it comes off as so incredibly attractive. If you hunch, you hurt your posture and attract the visual attention of others to you're insecurity.
I am just beginning but worry some about my 6' height; the greater concern is my size 12 (Men's, US) feet. The great news is that when it comes to SRS, depth won't be a problem. Gotta look at the bright side.
You know what they say.... "Big hands, big feet.............................................. Big shoes, big gloves"
What were you thinking (lol!)?
I'm 5'8" so not sure where that falls in the cis female catagory. My brother is 6'1" so I feel quite short when we go places together. I guess it's a good thing, I don't know.
I'm 5'8". My height has never been an issue for me; I like it a lot. I wouldn't like being short, nor being excessively tall. It's kind of right in between, and I've seen plenty of natal women at my height. ;D
Now my US 10 1/2 shoe size (in men's) leaves something to be desired.... >:( I haven't even bothered looking for shoes in the stores yet; it's hard as heck to find anything decent for my size feet. >.>

I have long narrow feet at 5 ' 7" with a men's size 9 I find that women's narrow size 10.5 sometimes 11 depending on Mfg. fit perfectly and corresponds with a men's C width which is my size.
All this talk of shoe size has made me curious what the actual size of my feet are. Where am I supposed to measure from and how does that correlate to women's shoe sizes? I've only ever worn men's, and being poor, I stick with one pair until they completely wear out and I'm forced to buy another. I don't think any of the sizes have been consistent.

Get your feet measured in a shoe department and ask what size they recommend in both men's and women's shoes for your tootsies!
Generally when selecting women's shoes go two sizes up from what you wear in men's.

Shantel, are you sure about this? I used to wear a 5 1/2 or 6 in men's shoes, but I've never come close to buying a 7 1/2 or an 8 in women's. Sizes vary a lot, depending on the manufacturer, but the biggest size I've ever bought was a 6. I've bought 5 and 5 1/2, and recently actually bought a pair of ankle boots that were a 4.
Nothing like trying them on before you buy. It's for this reason that I'd never buy shoes on line.
I swear there is also some vanity sizing going on in women's shoes, as my wife wears the same size in men's as she did ten years ago but is a full size smaller in her favorite women's shoes.
(Though I'm still convinced I did lose a shoe size, because I bought a couple pairs pre-HRT that are too big now, as are my old men's boots.)
A lot depends on the brand. I have a pair of men's asics that are 11.5 and a brand new pair of womens that are 12's
I stand a hefty 5"7' tall with size 9-10 shoes and vary between 140-150lb

I dunno hon, that's how it seems to work for me. I recently bought a pair of Josef Seibel women's sandals and only went one size up because sandals seem to stretch. I did buy some women's mules in size 11 and should have gotten 10 as I have room at the heel. I have some women's Propet ankle boots in 11 that fit perfectly, they are French made in China naturally. Then I have a whole collection of women's Clarks in 11. I am one person that can't stand to have my toes crowded though. I've seen shoes on women's feet that looked painful. Long story short two sizes was the general advice I got from a woman's shoe department sales person.

Well, OK, this is the first I've heard of it. But if it works for some people, go for it. I will say, though, it seems to me that sizes in women's shoes vary a lot more than in men's shoes. With men's I always knew that with a 5 1/2 or a 6 I'd be OK. But women's sizes seem to be all over the place.

Erm, as far as I know, nothing can change your height hun, I'm sorry to say :( Maybe you'll loose half an inch or so due to muscle and/or fat redistribution, but it won't change your bones.

I'm in the mid 5'7" range and my shoe size is 9US/7UK. It's not too bad of a height. I'm still one of the tallest in my family. My (fraternal twin) brother is the only one that is around my height. I get a little of jealous of the shorter ladies here.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but, estrogen actually tends to make it harder to lose weight.
It does make it harder to lose fat. But in my two months I've lost 6kg, of what I assume is mainly muscle, and have dropped from 70 kg to 64. Depending on your body type some of us actually do lose weight on hrt ;)
Just we don't lose fat :P

FYI to everyone interested, muscle volume = 1/3 of fat volume per pound. So Jo has lost a lot of muscle mass on HRT.

If you don't mind me asking where do you find shoes
Payless sometimes has a small selection, but I most of my shoes I purchase from Globe Shoes (local for me in NJ) and the have a website. Just google "Globe Shoe NJ" and it will be the first link since we're not allowed to post links to businesses on this forum. I've also purchased a few pairs at Long Tall Sally (also great for clothes)

There is a foot measuring device at Kohls and it told me I am actually a size 11 or about 10.8 yet I have found shoes from 10-12 women's that fit even though the majority that fit are 11 which is what my size should be. I found lots of shoes that didn't fit trying to use the male size plus two.
I wanted to be able to visualize the data curve better so I passed the numbers through an online chart builder. This is with 225 reporting. Click the image to enlarge:
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimagizer.imageshack.com%2Fimg674%2F5652%2F3pJPVO.png&hash=287a26167be8eb5a1e73e6ec86dfe6f304a26c5d)
Overall you can see a pretty typical curve. Weird that three of the heights are strongly underrepresented in the trend - 5'6", 5'9" and 6'1" please come out of hiding! I am updating the chart image as more data points come in. The new data is falling perfectly in line with the trend.
It's also apparent someone needs to start another thread with a shoe size poll, given the 'trending' drift off topic! ;)
I have to post this funny tall girl thing that happened to me today:
I went into Walgreens earlier this even to pick up a few things (my wife and I were have a Chocolate craving and we had none in the house.) Keep in mind that I'm 6'7" and I was wearing 2 1/2 inch heels. There was a long line at the checkout and I went to pickup a hand basket that is kept at the end of the checkout line. This 50 year old guy who was maybe 5'8" says "My God your a tall Woman!! What are you, 7 feet tall???" in a extremely loud voice. Everyone just stopped and turned at my direction and looked in amazement. I just smiled and said, I'm only 6'7". (I was extremely confident in this situation and wasn't nervous at all.) He then asked if I played basketball. I said know, but I loved Volleyball. He said, "You probably don't even have to jump to get over the net." Then he walked away and I continued my shopping without incident.

Reminds me of an account I read one time by a very tall ciswoman. She got tired of guys saying, "You certainly are a big woman!" She started replying, "You certainly are a little man!" That would shut them up.

I have no issue with my height, I think 5' 10'' is pretty good for a tall girl and I know lots of cis-girls who are envious on tall women and that´s because the best gift of being tall are loooong legs :)
Also I have no issues with my shoe size since finding shoes in EUR 42 is totally unproblematic because it´s a normal shoe size for women here. The only thing I´m dealing with is my weight. Though I lost 10 kg since coming out and switching to a more vegetarian nutrition, I´d like to lose some more but I really have problems coming below 75 kg even my BMI is now at 22-23 which is in a normal range for women at my age...

I'm 6"1' and size 11 woman's shoes. A little bit taller than most women. Not a big problem. Finding a pair of pants with a 36 - inch inseam isn't easy.

5'7", no clue what shoe size; sometimes even I feel tall, but I realize that I'm in a very lucky position all things considered
5'11" usually size 11 shoe's depending on style.
I am exactly the same height and shoe size as my girl/best-friend :)
I'm 5' 10" and about 160 pounds with an athletic male build and still in the closet (mostly). I wear women's size 10 and love heels. On those rare occasions when I go out, I guess I don't give my height too much thought. My focus is on moving as gracefully as I can in those heels I love so much :).
I really just try to be comfortable with who I am and hope the taller girls here can be too. There are as many body types as there are people. Control the things about your body that you can with diet and exercise and work to enhance or embrace the things you can't control, like height.
Hugs to you all.

5'6.5" 128 and a size 8 shoe....still feel tall with heels though, but don't wear them too often any way's
I mentioned my height of 5 ft. 5 in. but I forgot to mention that I'm usually wearing 3" to 4" heels. This created confusion the other day when meeting someone for the first time. I had given a potential customer a description of me and we were to meet at a local Wendys. He was 5-5 too so he thought I'd be easy to spot. I had forgotten to tell him, him being a guy, lol, that I was wearing my 4" wedge sandals. We both arrived at the same time. In fact, He even held the door for me to go inside. Silly me I was in a hurry and didn't get a description of him. Long story short it took us around 15 minutes of both being there to finally hook up. Because I was in heels, my height threw him when he held the door for me. We had a laugh about it before finally getting to our business.
Just a lil true story related to wearing heels, lol! ;)

5' 6", not sure what my women's shoe size is. As a male I used to really feel self conscious about my height but eventually I got over it. It'll be nice to be seen as average to slightly tall as female. :)
6' 3" and proud of it! My height is my greatest accessory. Finding clothes can be a pain, but when I do it works out in the end. :)

True facts! ^
I'm 5'9.5 (rounded to 5'10), with a size 13/13w/14 (depending on brand) shoe. The only place I can go a try on shoes is Payless, nowhere wlse caries bigger than a 10/11. I envy you smaller-footed girls immensely. Also I'm built like a linebacker, which makes it interesting trying to find outfits that actually look okay and somewhat feminine without completely looking like the stereotypical "man in dress" type thing. My height is not bad, though I do wish I was shorter (like 5'3 or 4).
I started at 5'11" and shrunk to 5'8" over the 7 years of hormones. My belly never shrunk though and now it looks bigger. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it ;D
Sorcha ;D
6.2 :o. I understood due bone shave quality reducements or whatever you call it that you miiightttt lose an inch or so when on HRT? Which would be perfect if you ask me. I love 6ft+ girls and dislike it when men are way taller than me (get that quite a bit here). I will just be like.. Look up to me, my minions ;D!
I want my guy to be just as tall or maaaybe slightly shorter. Am I the only one who isn't going to tip top ever to kiss someone? Don't like xD. And when cuddling I can easily just lay against/on his chest anyway :P.
Right on 5'7" , size 9-10 feet depending on shoes.
5ft 9in tall and then size 12 women's shoe. I am okay with my height just shoes are hard to deal with sometimes. If only they had a surgery for smaller feet.

If your toes are long you can shorten those. Seen a woman show that on a tv show before, the before and after not the surgery. But I think only when all the toes are longer than the big toe. Hard to change that one I believe.. Not sure o.o.

Any kind of foot surgery is extremely painful and the healing process takes a year or more complete with shooting pain. Shortening toes is by far one of the worst ideas that cis women have tried just to have cute little footsies. Besides rarely does anyone have attractive feet unless they had tiny feet to begin with and they are well cared for.
Yep, listen to Auntie Shan, girls. You do not want to have any unnecessary surgery on a part of you that has to support your entire body weight and carry you around all day. I'm sure your feet look just fine the way they are.
I had four broken toes on my right foot. They had to go in an remove fragments from each of them needless to say it is def something I would never want to experience again. Had to have pins in each toe about 3.5 inches long for 3 months I think, taking those out was horrible. So unless you need it don't do it. I was out of work for 4 months as well

I like to think that my longish feet help keep my 6'1"-tall body stable. There's no way I'd mess with my ability to stand or walk. I also remember that foot injuries have been some of the most painful and persistent I've ever experienced. I've never had to have surgery and I've never broken a bone before. Definitely I'm going to keep my future surgical pursuits to a minimum!
I've got injured feet right now, actually, and it's not very pleasant. Always rubbing them against something and irritating them. :(
The only problem I have with my feet is my unfortunate habit of putting them in my mouth. This feat (pun intended) is made all the easier by the fact that I have small feet and a big mouth.
And some of the rest of you think you have problems.

hehe sounds so familiar, I've heard this one: "I can't believe that you can still walk with both feet in your mouth!" ;D
I'm sure my feet are proportionate to my size and my body wouldn't be as easy to handle if I shrunk them but when you struggle to get shoes to fit then the urge for smaller feet can be great. I also want a smaller body. Thought I'd mention that so nobody thinks I have anything against feet ;D

This^^___^^ is absolutely the most ridiculous, and potentially harmful idea for cosmetic surgery I've ever heard of. In my 91 accident both of my feet were broken because I tried to brace myself before impact, and it took over a year for them to heal enough to where I could walk with a cane. And years after that for me to walk somewhat normally. When I heard of some actresses doing this to make their feet smaller I cringed at the thought of it, likewise the same when I saw it here. Don't do it ladies. It's a very bad idea. You could end up crippled or at the very least a lengthy recovery time involving very very painful physical therapy. My gosh girls, haven't we got enough things to worry about?
Ally :icon_flower:
I'm 5'9". I felt kinda short when I lived in England but that seems to be quite tall in Canada. I thought my height would make me feel dysphoric but I like being tall now. One of my best (cis) girlfriends is 6'0" and she totally rocks it. I now feel that being slim and supermodel height really isn't so bad. ;)
The surgery exists and I never said I would do it. Everyone has insecurities and at first for me it was my height. Everywhere on the internet I would search for solutions. Many people before me had asked the some question; how to get shorter?
Everywhere, the same response. Accept yourself for who you are. I agree, everyone should but not everyone does or is ready for that. Instead I would still have the burning question like I had without even given the option.
Voice surgery also happens even although it carries a high risk. One might thinks it is a stupid thing another understands it. Either way the person undergoing it was given an option and I am not to judge what he or she picks. So to just tell it short, I rather be honest and give people an option other than to decide for them what to do.
And oh, you do got surgery to reduce height by the way. Three of them o.o. Just prefered my height over the risks :D.
With the foot surgery you don't break anything so it can't be compared to that either. They remove a section depending on your toes.
I am barely 5-7.... small feet and hands..in fact having my small hands and feet used to bother me when I was passing as a guy in fact my buddies would tease me about it.... ironic that now i am ok with it.
I wear a size 8 jeans and size 8 woman's shoes.
Nothing wrong with being a tall woman.. women come in all shapes and sizes......... just as men do...

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimagizer.imageshack.com%2Fimg540%2F2852%2FEQgnbk.png&hash=022e65ac437110b06c884789bb2a02eaeee18ea1)

(It appears the vertical scale on this third-party chart represents
percentage rather than frequency as in the data from our poll.)
Other than a few very minor anomalies this data pretty much lines up spot on with the North American distribution for those of genetic male birth. e.g., I'm wondering if a lot of people were rounding up to 5'10" in our poll, if not on most numbers. This would be consistent with many studies based on self-reported data and may be a residual habit from trying to 'be more masculine'. I admit I'm still in the habit myself of rounding up, although I'm between 6'0.5" and 6'1" so I'm not technically fibbing. I suppose as a woman I might feel better if I got in the habit of rounding down to 6'-even. (I can see the eye-rolls now as girl-me starts tells people "I'm only 6' tall"!)
Even though a number of us trans have certain conditions that could have come in to play, the stats really haven't changed from what is widely typical. Should we be surprised? For some fun reading I'm linking an article that I lifted the US Distribution chart image from. It's a quick and interesting read about the history of height in the US:

I'm about 5'8" and 138lbs-ish now, but was 5'10" at one point. My height was something that kept me from transitioning for many years. Go figure.
aaaahh... i can't hear it anymore.
I always hear comments from my female friends (they don't know that i'm trans - pre hrt) how "horrible" it would be to be a girl with my height (6'3'').
Today i went for a second blood test (growth hormones were to high last time) to my endocrinologist and the assistant accidently gendered my correctly because my first name is very similar to a popular girl's name.
That seems to happen quite often when i'm relatively new to a clinic.
Well i afterwards told a friend about it and she found it extremly funny... not because of my name, because of my height... -.-'
I'm going on HRT no matter what, but seriously... why does everyone always picks at my height? There are a hundred of other people at my age and height at my university (or i shrinked and it just looks that way °.^).
You know I feel just about perfect today 5'9"(175 cm), 152 lbs (69 kg), (38 C, 32, 36), Size 10 on top, 8 on bottom, 11 shoes (All US) Shining of eye, and smiling of lip. Life is very, very good to me at the moment.
Peace,
Julie
I would say I am fortunate about my 5'7" height and small frame 135 lbs. My feet are a size 9 in womens shoes and my bottoms are a size 4 and my tops are an 8 or small; dress size is a 6 or a small. For work, I wear a size bigger in tops.
My dad and brother are 5'10" and my mother is 5'4" and my sister is 5'6". <3
234 replies so far and is no one going to challenge that 6'7" mark? I'm sure Pikachu has a prize awaiting the lucky winner! Will no one step up and accept the challenge? I'm afraid I haven't a hope myself.
As y'all know I'm 5-5 and I fluctuate just under 120 lb's. Proportionally tho I'm very long legged for my height.
My dress size is 2 to 4 (small) depending on brand,
My bottom size is a 6 to 8 (small) again depending on brand,
And shoes of course are a 7 or 8 depending on brand.
I too have small hands and narrow feet. Small Ankles and wrists as well (my wrist is 5 & 3/4 around).
I consider myself very lucky.
@Julie: You really are an inspiration girl! Your posts are always so upbeat and cheerful, and bring my spirits up every time I read one!
Peace everyone! :icon_bunch:

Well, I do know that we have another 6'7" member on this forum. Maybe if she rounds up she can make it into the 'Above' category and claim her fabulous prize.

Great! I'll certainly keep an eye on this thread then. I'm about to pass out with excitement!

5'-9" here with size 11US feet. I still feel a little tall, but mostly I think I blend in alright. :-)
Wow, 237 responses, I think we could call this a statistically relevant sample. Looks like 5'10" is both the average and the median height. Very interesting!
Yeah, I've been pretty surprised by how popular this has been. I just made it on a whim one night when I was feeling really lonely and trying to distract myself with things here, but it really took off.

Yeh I know! Actually makes me kinda happy I'm only 1" above that lol, so at least I'm not as much of a freak in the height department as I thought! :laugh:
Would be really interesting if there was an FtM version of this. Both sides could then see how we all compare to our counterparts... then again a part of me thinks maybe the results would just end up making everyone depressed.. so I dunno lol :P

There is one in the FTM section (actually, it's what inspired this one), but the poll isn't nearly as detailed.
5 ft 10... Literally my only body measurement that's in the male average range, as opposed to female. The good news is that, just on my walk to class, I see anywhere from 5 to 20 girls even taller, and they're absolutely gorgeous in spite of that. I don't think height is NEARLY as big of a deal as many fellow MtF's tend to think it is.
Looks like I'm the tallest at 6'7". (Lucky me) Fortunately my height has never outed me. Plenty of tall girl questions like "Did you play girls basketball or volleyball in college?" Which reminds me, here is some fun for us tall girls:

Loved it, I've experienced most of that
5'-4" as well for me. I don't mind it. A little shorter would be fine or an inch or so taller.

Proudly standing tall at 5 feet 11 inches, hoverring anywhere between 65kg and 73kg. (seriously why do Australians measure this way in imperial and metric) ???)

Well I think we should all be using metric. As an Aussie Forum Admin I can suggest that, but I think my USA boss may disagree :laugh: :laugh: As usual I shall defer to her - it is her site after all >:-)

Well, here in the British Isles we give our weight in "stone" (not "stones"), which, unless I'm mistaken, is the way God intended us to.
I myself generally weigh in at around 7 stone, 10 pounds (i.e, at around 50 kg or 108 pounds), and doesn't that sound impressive?
Now that makes me feel very old!
14Ilbs = 1 stone.

Don't you mean how many palms make a cubit?
7 palms make up a cubit. However the measurement is based on the Pharoah at the time. 4 digits in a palm.
Oh Cindy oh mighty Queen of the forum how long is a palm these days

This is like the question, how many balls of string does it take to reach the moon? Just one--but it has to be a big one.
But the real question is:
What *IS* the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? ;)

Or perhaps it is a coconut, carried by an African or European Swallow. ;D
I'm curious how tall Susan is now. We've already heard from Cindy, Sephirah, V M, Ms. Grace...
Also, holy crap, I'm taller than Cindy! I always expected her to be a lot taller than 5'7". I guess it's the big personality. ;)
