I'm 5 ft 6..Hopefully still growing but based upon height calculators it said I'll only reach to 5 ft 8..I have too much height dysphoria. What about you?

Welcome to Susan's Place. I am assuming that you are a FTM. If you reach 5'8" that's not a bad hight. I am 6'2" and considered tall so the 6 inch difference would still put you near a normal male hight. I learned a long time ago not to be uncomfortable with my hight because people don't really pay attention to it. For a while I wore 3 inch heals which really ran my hight up but even at that hight, people might admire my hight once in a while but not often. You need to be proud of what you become and never let anybody tell you that you shouldn't be.

I'm 6ft tall, and sure I would like to be 5'6 or so, but I'm happy with my overall presentation.

About 5'8".

I am 5'8". When I was young I dreamed of being 6' and androgynous... needless to say it didn't happen...
On the other hand, I long since got over that height disphoria.
I am taller than the cis men in my family so I can't complain... especially since the other females are petite.

163cm, which I think is around 5' 4"

I wish I were shorter by a few inches but honestly it's not a dysphoric element. The girl I'm friends with who is 4' 11" (high school) doesn't understand me

You had posted this question twice, no cross posting please. I have moved the posts from the second post to here and have also moved that poll to here as well.

As for me, 6'3"... while I wish I was about 4" shorter I'm used to it and most people don't even seem to notice.

6'3" (190.5 cm).  Nose bleed section, ceiling fans make me nervous, low doorways and upper kitchen cabinets give me mild concussions (sometimes), lower kitchen cabinets make me dizzy when standing up.  In all seriousness, I always wished I was shorter, however height is might (a ham radio term) so make the most of the best assets you have and; as they say, "rock it."

At 5' 7", it's not so much my height as a lot of other things. I always found it strange that of all the things that have bothered me and do bother me, my height isn't one of them. It got weird for a bit, but that passed by the time I was 15.

Hi,

5'8" is a good height.  One can find clothes easily and one can find partners easily.  Its big enough to get respect.

Me, I'm  6" 1 and 3/4.  My inseam, for center to ankle bone is 37". As a guy, I looked a little weird. As a woman, it seems desirable. Its a pain finding clothes.....

The key for both of us is to own what and who we are.

I'm 5'10 or '11. I actually enjoy my height. It's really nice being tall without having to wear heels, because I loathe wearing them. I think it's more so because I'm confident, but people always seem to be friendlier with me, and I think my height helps with that. Dunno though. Call it a hunch.

I am 6' 7"  I have been asked a million times how tall are you. I am usually asked at least once or twice a week at minimum. Since starting my transition I really wish I was 7-8 inches shorter.  I am happy with who I am  though.

I'm 5',5" last time I checked. Which is short-ish for a dude in this country. Any shoes tend to raise that an inch.

My mother is shorter than this and my father is very tall, so I figured I came out somewhere in the middle. It's an average height for a female here, which... sucks from my perspective (but at least I'm 'normal' height I guess), but on the other hand all the men on my mother's side are shorter than I am, even though they have tall fathers... so I got a bit luckier than them I guess. The thing about having a family with shorter men - you realize it's not that big a deal to them. "Short-ass" might be something you get jokingly called but that's the extent of people's interest in it. They exhaust that joke and forget it.

The shorter guys in my family didn't have a lot of interest in sports maybe because of the height thing, I don't know... instead they all became programmers and videogame designers/artists, so it never was any barrier to the career they wanted or whatever. They all had families and are happy with them. Seeing that, I don't think it's much of a concern for me. I'd like to be taller but, until we develop cyborg bodies I'm going to be 5',5".

It helps that my boyfriend is the same height as me. I didn't pick him for that reason, but it's nice not to be towered over, I admit.

I'm between 5-10 and 5-11. I don't really like my height. I think it gets me clocked on occasion.

I'm 5'2" (ftm) I might have been taller (tall family) but i was ill as a child and i think it stunted me

I was just measured at work and I am 6'2" inches. I was 6'3" so that is good. I remember in my teens when I hit 6' I was very upset. 

I'm 5'11".  I'm compensating for height by making myself skinny for the first time in my life.

My father was 6'5" and if I remember right my grandmother was at least 5'10".  Even my son is at least 6'2".  So I could have ended up a lot taller.

When I had a physical a few months ago, I was 5' 10."

In the sense that I wish I was shorter, I experience height dysphoria. Also, the fact that I normally don't meet women who are taller than me, makes me skeptical that I will ever live as female. As long as I am honoring my needs and dictating the pace of my life though, my disadvantages don't bother me.

Though you wouldn't quite be Peter Steele (Type O Negative), 5' 8" would be a good height. I feel slightly taller than most men, and while they may feel short, from my perspective they're normal. 

I'm 5'6" and to be honest, as a child I wanted to be taller.  Now, of course, I'm quite happy with my height and wouldn't mind an inch or two less.
