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 ) I feel happy and want to stand next to them and be like "Look how short I am." 

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.

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.

I am 183cm ~6'.

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?
