For those of us Transitioning from Male to Female ; How many have small hands?

judithlynn · March 04, 2018, 10:19:46 PM

When I was a lot younger I played Indoor ball games, but I had a lot of problems handling the Men's sized ball (Handballs, Volleyballs etc!) because I had very small hands for a man. How many of us have had the same issues with tiny hands for male.

Yep, small hands, small feet, and small, ah... everything.

I am taller than both my brothers, good bit taller than my younger brother, my hands look like little kids hands next to theirs. Feet too and, ah... everything.

My best friend's hands are as big as mine and she only comes up to my chin. She hadn't made fun of my hands in a while until almost a year ago. She had a surgery where she could go home the same day but couldn't drive home so I took the day off to offer support and drive her home. She was unsteady leaving so I held her hand till we got to the car. She laughed the whole way about my tiny hands. ☹️ Maybe I need better friends, do you think? 🙂

I thought only drug dealers use the metric system?

My hands were so small [how small were they?]; they were so small I had to hold a ping pong ball with both hands😀

Pretty average for my height. 🙂

It's more like everyone in the workd except non-drug-dealing Americans.

I didn't understand what I was supposed to be measuring for the side-to-apex-to wrist measurement.

My wrist to longest finger measurement was 200 cm. I think my hands are medium-to-large for female range, smallish for male range.

Lol.

I've always had small hands and feet. My mom even has bigger hands than me. But I guess my hands are normal for my size.

Deborah · March 05, 2018, 09:38:10 AM

My hands are average size but also slender and double jointed. I can touch my thumb to my forearm as well as bend my fingers back about 90 degrees.

Yeah, and have a heck of a time pick'n my nose too!

kitchentablepotpourri · March 05, 2018, 10:57:54 AM

I'm 6 ft tall, and I have long bones and small joints (my current wrist measurement is 6 1/2 inches), and my hand size is medium, but I have longish skinny fingers (my index finger is just a wee bit longer than my ring finger).

Cassi · March 05, 2018, 11:00:02 AM

Hey!

I'm 6' tall too less 5"!

My wrists have always been kinda small in that I can wrap one hand around the wrist and have a quarter to 3/8" left over.

So you're 5'7"? and I don't understand what you're saying about your wrists?

DawnOday · March 05, 2018, 12:36:04 PM

I have small hands for my body size but my feet more than make up for it.

Northern Star Girl · March 05, 2018, 12:49:22 PM

YES, I have small hands and feet to go along with my 5' 4" height... 5'5" if I puff up my hair.
Fortunately, as my old male self before transitioning I was a small guy with a slight build and a not very masculine face... it was a problem as a young man but now that I have transitioned to full time, the small hands, small feet, short stature, and my face... all works in my favor.

Sorry, in the absence of a tape measure I wasn't sure what the measurement of my wrists are but using a small 6 1/2" envelope have figured they're 7".

What I tried to use to reflect my wrist was: If I took my middle finger of either hand and wrapped it around my wrist connecting it to my thumb, there'd be about a quarter of an inch extra or overlap - make sense?
I use to be 5' 10" but gravity attacked me.
