am i the only one that walks through the store comparing my height with the objects and people around me? I hate this. i feel so tall!!! Im not even 5'10 im more of 5'7 or 8. :(
i don't think that's tall at all. I am 5'6'', i wish i were taller!
dunno how tall people are in other corners of the world, but round here that'd be pretty average. i'm something like 6'0 and there are LOTS of girls my height.
in the Uk the average height for a chick be 5 ft 4 1⁄2 ins...
(I'm 5ft 9ins)... but like being tall...
The average height for a UK bloke be over 5ft 10ins though...
And German, Dutch and Norwegian chicks are on average the tallest in the world...
I'm 5'11", and there are LOTS of GG's around here as tall or taller. And at a recent gathering of friends (all transwomen), four of us discovered we are all the same height, more or less. No biggie (pardon the pun...)
5'7 or 5'8 is a good height I think :)
Im 5'10 and I don't feel that tall, all my friends are around the same height as me and a few of them are even taller :)
I would not worry about your height :)
BTW im aussie and aussie girls seem to be pretty tall!
6'2" here, 5'7 - 5'8 doesn't seem that bad from this altitude :D
I'm 5'7" and it's not bad at all. Depending on whom I was working with I could have been the tallest or the shortest in the kitchen at any given time.
5'11", oh well, I live to see another day. My height stands out a bit, and I wish that I weren't so tall ::).
I'm 6'2" and I see I've got some good company...
http://www.tallwomen.org/famous/ (http://www.tallwomen.org/famous/)
I range from about 6'5 to 6'9, depending on how much my neck/back are bothering me for the day. I'm not exactly pleased about this.
I'm 5'7" - and I love it. I wouldn't mind being 5'5", but 5'7" is totally acceptable. Just avoid 5" heels.
Tyyy alll. huggs!
I'm 5'10", which isn't bad, but it rules out wearing pumps. Which is sad because I luv pumps! :(
I'm about 5'11". Taller than most women around me. However when out I don't have to look for long till I come across another girl who is around the same height as myself.
I'm around 5'7, used to think I use 5'9, so I kind of wondered why most guys were taller than me, when I thought I was average.

First, you're a great height! Tall enough for clothes to hang nicely ... tall enough to be able to wear heels without towering over guys ... not so tall that you stand out from the crowd. Perfect!
Me, I'm 6ft ... not so great! But every time I walk through a crowded train station, or down a busy street or through any public place I'm always, always, ALWAYS looking out for women my height ... and as often as not I find them. Not many, I grant you, but I'm not alone and I have girlfriends who are taller than me.
I also have a list of famous, great-looking women of 5ft 11ins or more that I use to bolster my morale ... So take a bow Elle Macpherson, Nicole Kidman, Allison Janney, Uma Thurman, Geena Davis, Famke Janssen, Brooke Shields, Lena Olin, Kathryn Bigelow, Vanessa Redgrave, Rebecce Romijn, Kristanna Loken, Maria Sharapova, Taylor Swift ... etc, etc ... hell, I'll even throw in Ivana Trump, if I'm feeling desperate! :)
But do I pray that something in the HRT/transition process might make me one of the lucky ones who loses a couple of inches in height and at least one, maybe two shoe sizes (and I know girls for whom this has happened) ... of course I do! I would kill for 5ft 10ins and size 9/10 (UK/US) shoes ...
And in my totally unrealizable dreams 5ft 8ins would be absolutely PERFECT!!
Here in South Africa we have a lot of tall women. It must be because most of us are from Dutch/German/Scandinavian descend. I wouldnt worry too much about the height issue. Walk tall and proud!! :)

Ty all soo much. Im in alabama so i see a lot...Alot! of petite women. Every now and then ill see women my height or even taller! I jusy feel like im the tallest thing in the room
I'm about 6 ft. Just like Elle McPherson or Uma Thurman. I can live with that :D
And. A lot of guys dig tall girls :)
I'm 5'7 when I'm at home I tower over my friends who are 5'1- 5'3 and I feel tall im also the taller than my sister or either parent.
however over here at university I'm pretty darn small about average for a female I'd be a dwarf of a male however.
I'm 6'3" (when I stand straight maybe even more)
I personaly like to be about 5'3" small (I think it is cute)
Good thing is, that I met peoples taller than me (even girls)
Bad thing is to find suitable clothes
I'm 5'9 and I love it...wearing heels is even better.
I went from feeling like a short guy to being a tall girl and it's great.
I'm 5'4 and havent started hormones x.x
Hey, 5'7" isn't so bad. I'm female born and that tall. Not only that, but I'm average to short compared to other girls my age. I think you're the perfect height.
I used to do this but I think I've accepted my height more. Of course just found out the other day at the doctors that instead of being 5"8' I'm almost 5"9'.

I'm 5'10 and i do this in Zumba class. I feel like the tall awkward beanpole among the group =(
Good gravy Jerica, that's one heck of a photo you have there. I wish I could smush mine together like that.
I'm somewhere between 5 foot 8 and 5 foot 9 - its a long time since I measured - but either way its a great height to be for a girl. It's tall enough to be taller than most - but not so tall that anyone thinks anything odd about it.
Oh and as my hands and feet are reasonably "large female" typical in size too the size issue simply doesn't really figure for me.
i'm 6'3 here, sincerely i hate my height :( makes me hesitate
Size doesn't figure with me any more at 5ft 5inch. I felt short as a guy, lol but OK as a female, lol. Luv it.

6' 2" tall here. It's so hard to find clothes that fit. I find myself wishing I could be shorter all the time. I love boots and I love heels but at my height it is often difficult to feel comfortable in the crowd when the majority of everyone's forehead comes up to my chin wearing heels just makes it worse. I was once at a party with a bunch of pro basketball players, I felt very comfortable that night. So it's all a matter of perspective and that whole mind over matter thing (if I don't mind then it doesn't really matter).
I am 5'-10" and I love to wear heels !!! I finally figured out why they call it "the little girls room" .
hugs, Roxy

Me toooooo!!! =)
I'm 5'7, and love my height.
I like it male or (female if I transistion) doesn't bug me, it's too Grey of a height.
5'11" Here, and I like to wear platform shoes that make me 6'1"!
I think tall people can be as pretty as short people. Its not about height, it is about how you work it!
6'3" and broad shoulders, but then if I end up with DD breast implants, to be in proportion, all the guys will no longer be looking at my face, so I will pass better! :laugh:
I'm blessed to be 5'6..The only thing is that my man is 5'5
so when I wear heals I look like a giant next to him..LOL.
But it's all good :)
I'm 5'10 but that's fine. Considering that 5'10 is the minimum allowed height for a high-end fashion model. Most of the super models being 6'0 or taller. So all those icons of beauty you see are tall girls.
6'5", broad shoulders, big skeleton. One of my friends said I should dress like an amazon.
I'm 5'6" which I'm mostly happy about. My girlfriend is 5'9" though and wants to be shorter. She has a good sense of humor about it though. She calls me her lil shrimp, and I call her my giraffe. :angel:

I'd recommend stopping short of the breast removal.

Oh of course, lol, not gonna give up what I'm trying to get XD The other idea someone said was to play up to my heritage, which is mostly barbarian.
wow I am only 5'5" and I rarely see girls my height, they are always so much smaller,r maybe I just need to move haha.
I'm 5' 6" ish but I am not the tallest among my female friends and acquaintances.

I'm 6' 8" in heels and I wish I was about a foot shorter in height

*Jaw drop* someone taller than me? What size heels do you wear? I can't get that tall unless i'm in my platforms!

normally a 3 1/2" court shoe, although recently I've found a cute pair of 1 1/2" kitten heels that make me feel less tall :)
You must tell me where you get your shoes! I'm a mens 13w/14, and i have a hard time finding shoes even in mens styles @_@
I am am extremely short. I am 5'0 or 5'1. In my male form no one thinks I am a girl. I don't think height will peg you as a guy if that is what you are worried about. Tall women do exist. Just like women with big feet.
5'5" here, I got called short growing up and stuff but I actually always liked this height. I completely stopped growing when I was 14 though, hah.
Pretty middle-of-the-road I guess, but it works for me. I don't really notice when people are taller or shorter though. :)
