Last time I was measured I was 5'5, it was a while ago and I have crap posture so I'm probably actually a little bit taller than that q: I have combat boots but I don't wear them often, they have big soles. I'll probably wear them tomorrow to support my ankle after I goosed it when I fell over today, I'm lying in bed right now and it feels bad man

The other day I made a 7ft tall D&D character, but he was totally dwarfed by the natives of the place the party travelled to: the natives are all like ten feet tall. I'm just glad I didn"t pick a Kobold character, being 2 feet tall can't be fun in a place like that

I'm the shortest in my family at 167cm or 5'6". Don't have any dysphoria or discomfort over ny height, though it can be difficult to reach stuff sometimes. I've seen plenty of presumably cis men my height or shorter, so I've never had a concern around being read as trans due to my height.

Do I wish I was taller? Sometimes, especially when it would be convenient to grab things from top shelves. :laugh:

Yeah, that's one of those things that makes it easier to be fine about my height. There are men shorter than I am in the family. My last partner is my height.

If I'd only ever been surrounded by or seen gigantic men I suppose I'd feel freakish.

6'3". I was incredibly tall as a woman. Even for non binary which is how I identify, I am super tall.

I'm 5'5", which is I guess considered short for guys? I dunno, I've had guy friends ranging from my height or shorter to way taller than me, so I try not to think about the "statistics".

5'5.... not so bad for an Asian since I regularly encounter guys of the same height or even shorter, but additional height would be nice.

i'm about 5'2" - 5'3" and i don't care about my height. other people care about my height more than i do. actually other guys seem to care about my height more than i do. girls don't care from my experience. it hasn't stopped me from being taken seriously, dating, what ever. i actually date girls with a good height difference between me and them (5'7"+). do i think being taller would be more of a benefit in some situations? sure. do those situations come up enough for me to be dysphoric about my height? nope.

I'm 5'2" and I've always hated it not even just bc of the trans guy thing.  So I'm Kevin Hart sized but since I have to deal with it I will.  Once I finally get top surgery won't care about much [emoji4][emoji38]

I'm 5'6" but I really like my height. It feels very natural to me somehow. And it's a very practical height, cause I'm a bit taller than the average woman and a bit shorter than the average man so I'm just... average human? I've noticed that most things are kinda made for my height. In dating I don't care if a guy is shorter or taller than me, and I'm not into women. Only thing that slightly bugs me about my height is that I'm the shortest in my family, so both my mother and my younger sister are taller than me, as well as my father. (My father is 6'2", my mother is 5'9" and my sister is 5'7").

I'd love to be 5'7" tall. Perfect height, in my opinion. Not so tall, not so short.

I'm around 5ft, or 153cm. It's been a while since the last time I measured. I don't like my height that much but I try to ignore it, I've encountered several cis guys shorter than me and there are plenty of men who are not thaat taller than me neither. And, anyway, I was shorter than the rest since always.

I always wanted to be tall.

Comes from being bullied as a kid. The other kids sensed something off about me and would harass me constantly after school (which is quite weird. I never saw anything like it at my school. They would usually just call girls names, make them cry and have done with it. But me? no, they wanted to beat me up like a boy. They wanted me to know twenty of them had sworn they were going to come and kill me. Lol). Chase me about, throw rocks at me, wreck my stuff, or just walk up and try to kick me. If I were taller I doubt they would have been so keen on that.

I learned though that taller guys often get more crap from other guys who just want to fight someone. My days working in a bar taught me that

I'm 5'4'', not that short for an asian, but pretty short for a guy.  I guess I'm lucky in  that when people see me, they're more likely to attribute my height to my race than possibly being trans.

Hey guys, curiosity is getting the better of me. I feel like a douche asking, because I am tall [6'3], but I couldn't find a recent poll like this. I'm straddling the FTM/Genderqueer/Butch fence right now and can't get off the damn thing. I feel like I pass because I'm tall and wonder if I would even be in this position if that wasn't the case. Then I want to smack myself because who thinks like that? Anywho.. participate if you want!
Man, 6'3''?  How tall is the rest of your family?

I didn't vote - clicked "just want to see results" a while ago like a dork.

But I'm just shy of 5'9". I like that there are guys shorter than me (lots of em, including my husband), and that there are guys taller than me too.

OMG. I am so happy I saw this post. I'm just barely 5'. I'm just starting on the whole idea of transitioning and one of my biggest worries was that I am going to be a Super short dude!!! It's so good to see I'm not alone!

6'2 and honestly its such a gift. When I was little I always said I wanted to be tall like my dad when I grew up, and would you look at that I got my wish.
