I'm 5'3". AMAB non-binary. The girl in me is happy with my height. The guy would like to be 3" taller. Couldn't count the number of girls that turned me down because of my height. . Quite glad of it now though. Most of my dresses would be too short if I was taller. Feet fit into the female range at a UK 8. Happy about this also.

I'm about 5'8" non-binary transguy. Since I was a kid I have dreamed about being 6' and androgynous...
That said, I am actually fine with my height. I see taller and shorter cis guys all the time and a lot about my height.

Hmm, interesting thread! As a kid, I wanted to be taller than my dad, who is 6'2".

So that didn't happen.

I'm about 5'5", taller than my Mom and sister who are 5'1"-5'2", so that's something. According to my physio, my posture can be improved, so that might gain me a little. And I'm usually wearing thicker soled shoes like my Docs, so that adds an inch.

I'd love to be 5'7". 5'8" would be even better. Time to work on the stretches again, I think.

I was at Pride yesterday, and paying attention to men's heights. I am taller than some, it turns out, even as is. That made me happy.

I'm 5'8"-5'9"ish and would love to be 5'3"

I'm between 5'9" and 5'10" perhaps a bit tall, but i don't think a lot about it. I am thankful that my feet are smaller - size 10, that makes a huge difference for shoes. So i'd probably stay at my height if given a choice.

I'm a mtf, low dose E type.  I'm 5' 9.5". Would love to be 5' 6" or 5' 7", but would be satisfied with 5' 8".  In my 20s I was 5'10".  Took me 30 years to lose half an inch.  Maybe E will make this go a little quicker

I'm 5'6" and I'm pretty happy with it.

My ideal height would be 5'6". I'm 5'10", and while I know size doesn't matter. I envy shorter people.

I'm 5'5" and I like it.

If you don't mind can I ask why you like being that height, I'm still a bit insecure about mine.

I'm close to being 5"6 but would love to be 5"7 because I'd be much more comfortable being on the average of men's heights. Maybe further on T I might get there.

Partially because it is what it is, and it's better to accept the things you can't change.

For practical reasons, everyone I've ever dated has (coincidentally) been my height or shorter. I doubt that trend would change at this point, so not much pressure to be taller.

I also do judo, and having a lower center of gravity than most of the guys I'm competing against is an excellent thing.

In my best dreams, 5'9" would be awesome. As it is, it's 5'5". I don't feel bad about it, I feel bad about my posture and I would like to remember constantly to walk like a ballet dancer. I try to, but I look stiff...

Here a lot of guys are just a little taller than me, I think that 5'7" is pretty common. Being a short guy has advantages in terms of agility, so it's a good deal. But I would love to be sooo elegant and height is part of that. I want to be lean and willowy and strong, to be precise. That's my idea of cool.

What bothers me is to see girls that are taller than me even here and the fact that if I were to move in Northern Europe I would be awfully short for a guy.

I can relate. The walk like a ballet dancer is something I hadn't considered. My posture isn't great but if I try to walk taller I think my chest and stomach seem bigger; although that's probably just in my head. And I'm the same with the wanting to be elegant thing. You see androgynous people on tv and in magazines who are around 5"9 but here I am chunky, chubby and short.

And the last thing you said really bothers me. Even 15yr old school girlstend to be taller than me  . For some reason the population is getting taller. By the time I'm 80 I'll probably look like a freak.

I was a little over 5' 7", then I broke my back in a bad accident. Now I'm 5' 6.5"
I'm okay-ish with my height. It's sort of in the middle range, I'm on the tall side for a woman  , but just a bit shorter than most guys 
Alas when it comes to my family, I am way taller than all the other women, my Mom is 5' 4" (maybe even less now she's gotten old), and her sisters are all the same height as her. Her mother was 5' 0"
On the other hand, I'm the same height as my Dad and my brother. So I always try to sit if we ever have any group family photos.
Younger people tend to be taller, and so I'm about the same height (or even a little shorter) than some of the younger women in our office.
I just couldn't have a male partner that was shorter than me though (sorry, I'm so shallow).
My boyfriend is 5' 10" and is built like a gorilla, so I feel pretty feminine when I'm out and about with him.

Thanks to the ravages of age and gravity, I am now 1 inch close to my Goal Height of 5'8". In about another 127 years I'd be there

At my best, i was 5'9", which is still listed on my driver's license. Now, however, at 64, I've taken all my measurements so i can chart my progress the next few years. i'm currently 5'7 3/4". Would l like to be shorter? Sure, why not? i'd also would have preferred to have been born female, but i can't worry too much about things i can not change. now, FFS could be a viable option in a few years, given the poor odds that i can become passable.

I think Im 5'4 and dont mind it. I suppose that makes me a short guy but Ive met a lot of guys rougly my height and Ive never felt short, though that could be a problem with age since I wont grow anymore

I am 5' 5'' 3''' or in my local metrics 166cm. Where i live I am very tall for a girl which sucks but maybe I would be a better fit in europe or america.

I would love to find a taller guy or same height girl one day.

I am 6'3" with a half inch added onto that. I don't mind my height at all. In clubs I frequently dance in 3 to 4 inch heels, and I am the tallest person on the floor.

I don't want to change my 6'2". My house has 9 foot ceilings and for once, every room I walk into seems large and roomy. It's strange how a celling a foot higher than normal can make such a big difference.

anything below 6 ft. I'm 6'2''...   I would like to be shorter for practicality; everything in my house is built for smaller people.

N.

I am at my ideal height. I'm short for a man but not little people short. I work with other men shorter than me, actually. I wouldn't want to be taller. I already crouch down too much to talk to people who are shorter than me and it's hard on my spine. I've been this height for a while and I'm happy with it.

I'm 5'10 and I love it. Only thing I would want is to be thicker in weight ... Because it's hard to find jeans in double 00 in my height and inseam .... Only Delia sometimes carry that length and jean size
