If someone rejects you for being 5'8", I'm sorry buddy, but I don't think they were worth your time of day anyway. That's the most ridiculous reason to reject someone. (5'8" isn't even short for a guy, it's in the average range.)

Yeah, I totally get it. I think that in general women are a bit more flexible with their sexuality than men which is good for trans guys that date women. However, it's definitely true that a lot of women want tall guys. I'm 5'8" so I'm a pretty average height for a guy but I've been rejected often enough because I'm not taller. What can I say, it must be biology. All that matters is that not all women are like that, and you can absolutely make up for it by projecting confidence. Even if a woman likes tall guys, I can guarantee you she'd rather go out with a confident short guy than a sad sack beanpole.

Yanno... just sayin, but anyone who rejects you SOLELY based on height... yeah, not worth the time! You should be judged on who you are, not any one attribute (unless it's for a sports team, then physical attributes should play into it for having the right skills, etc).

As to being judged as male based on height, if you present as male, you present as male - no matter your height. I am 5'2" and passed withOUT trying, and been outed when TRYING to pass. Just be yourself as 100% male and be confident in that.
