I'm 5"5 and 3/4. Yes I am so dysphoric about my height that I have to add the last bit. I wish I was taller and know that even on T I doubt I'll be completely happy bcos of my height. What helps me is reminding myself that people being taller than me is the average, not the norm. Same with being cis and  straight is common but doesn't make it the norm other trans and another sexuality. Also Bruno Mars is 5"5 and look what he's achieved. Freddie Mercury and Justin Bieber were and are only around 5"7. Plus at least other parts of me look sorta masculine.
They/them pronouns preferred.

I know a lot of guys stress about height, cis or trans. I am one of the lucky ones at 5'8.5". There are tons of guys that I notice (because I'm always comparing) that are shorter than me. And from a guy that doesn't have to worry so much about height let me tell you there would be a million other things to be dysphoric about instead anyway :(

Same here Dex, I'm 5'9" but there are a lot of other things i hate about myself and am dysphoric about like not being able to grow a full beard after 5 years on T, only a happy trail on my torso, bottom dysphoria, not being muscular enough, wish my voice was deeper.....we all have positives and negatives going on for us, noone is at an advantage, what one guy has the other lacks and vice versa
I wasn't holding it open for you, who holds the door open for a man?!?

Well I thought it was a nice gesture....BUT I GUESS I WAS WRONG!!!!!

I'm 5'5", and honestly what helped me was having a look at really old family photos and realizing I'm actually just the most recent in the line of very short Irish and Scottish men. In my family at least, short guys are par for the course.

I'm 4'9'' or 4'10'' and most of the men in my family are above average height, so that's always been a problem for me. I've always been the shortest person I know, and I've never been happy about it. I used to know a couple of short guys, but then they all had growth spurts and I stayed stupidly tiny. All my female friends are taller than me, so my height is a big source of dysphoria for me. It doesn't look like I'm going to grow much more, so I'd better just get used to being an arm rest.

I'm 5'8" so height isn't much of a dysphoria to me, although there are times i wish i'm 6' tall.  :laugh: i guess we can all use a few extra inches lol.  However, i'm extremely dysphoria about facial hair >:-) because the men in my father side isn't hairy at all, my dad uses scissors to cut the facial hairs when it become noticeable,  :o and he always look clean shaved lol but the men in my mother side can grow full beard easily.  so i just cross my fingers.

I'm only aggravated by height because at work everything is barely out of reach and i need a ladder most of the time. Oh and I'm scared of heights.

But i just remember that there are other short guys too. Huyh Jackman, Robert Downey Jr., Tobey McGuire etc. (and the cute guy i work with..)
