5'10" in flat feet. I'm way past growing taller with or without T. However, top surgery made a difference for me. I always seemed shorter due to my slouching (and actually was routinely measured at 5'9"), because of my stupidly big chest. Without the weight and shame dragging my spine forward, I'm standing taller and no longer get chronic back pain.

I got derided and mocked all of my life for being big/tall as a female. Not just by peers but by adults (such as my childhood doctor) who should have known better than to hassle a teenager for not fitting in. I finally feel vindicated, being utterly average in size for a male.

That said, I still don't pass 100% because I have very feminine facial features; I think the face is way more important for passing than height is.

I'm about 5'2". I've grown a tiny bit on t I think. I'm taller than 90%of the women in my family but shorter than my male relatives. But none are very tall. My dad is probably like 5'7"ish. I've met guys who are loads shorter than me both my age and older. I rarely pass as someone my age if I'm with older people but if I'm with a group of friends it's fine. I've never had a problem passing even pre-t. But most people in my family stay young looking. No one ever guesses that my parents are old enough to have 2 teenage children.
Call me a cheat but I make my own fate.

I am 5'4
I don't think it particularly effected my ability to pass pre-T the only big thing that seemed to effect that was my voice [often called male until I spoke]
I don't think I have grown any taller on T. 
I don't think my height now that I am on T has any negative effects besides appearing younger than I am.  Certainly no problems passing.
I am the shortest in my family.  Both my parents are around the same height [5'8 or so] my sister is 5'6ish.  Never has bothered me. 
I solemnly swear I am up to no good.

I dont think it effects my passing too much, my roommate is the same height as me.

Damn we have some pretty tall guys here. Makes me feel even smaller...
  •  

meh

5'6". I don't feel short though. I tower over my mom's side of the family, they're all Japanese though.

I also have 4" platform boots I wear sometimes that makes me feel like a giant.

How tall are you guys?
Im about 4'11.75"-5'0.5"
Pre-t: has/did it affect you passing ability?
Yes. I don't pass at all for my age. I absolutely positiviely hate being super duper short. Im the shortest in all of my family. My immediate, and distant family. The only person shorter than me was my great grandma who was around 4'9", but I never met her. All the guys in my family are hella tall, near 6' and some taller. And girls are around 5'3" and taller. My aunt is 5'10", my mom is 5'5", my sister is 5'4". So idk what the heck happened with me, its the one thing that bugs me most. FML.

on T: have you gotten taller or has height become less of an issue?

Not on T, but im hoping to get it soon so it'll help me pass as older with its masculizing effects.
Also I've heard that T has nothing to do with you getting taller, that its impossible for that to happen. Its a myth. Idk if this is true, im no doctor.

I am 5 foot 1. I've never met a guy that was an adult and my height. My brothers are all over 6 feet and I am the shortest out of all of my brothers and sisters (7 of 'em).

I've never ever ever met a bio guy that was an adult and my height either. My younger brother is 12 and already 4 inches taller than I. My older brother is about 5'7". So I feel you.

I think it definitely affected my passing ability when I was pre-T. My high voice and height were major give-aways for me.

Same here. High voice plus height= kid, for me.

For the shorter guys worried about passing because of height:

There's a guy in my class who's only about 4'7" or so and you can definitely tell he's male and that's even when he's completely shaved (though he recently grew out a beard).  I'm sure, given time, y'all will definitely be able to pass.

5,5.  reaching 5,6 is like a DREAM for me.

Somewhere between 5'4 and 5'5 - bit closer to 5'5. Grew about 1/2 an inch on T, apparently (I don't believe it myself, but that's what the measurements say).

I'd like to be a few inches taller, but things could be worse. It doesn't effect my "passing" - I'm on T anyway. And I have a decently wide build.

I'm not too worried - I know heaps of guys my height. Lots of them at my work. I'm "short", but not short enough to be conspicuous.

I'm 5'2.75", but I lie and say I'm 5'3"  ;)
Pre-T: I don't think it affects my passing anywhere near as much as my voice does. I tend to get read as a 12 year old, but that doesn't really bother me. I wish I was taller though.
On T: I won't be on T until November, which feels like a long time from now :(. I'd like to think I'll get taller because I'm still young. I've got my fingers crossed.

I'm 5'4" and 18, so I'm probably done growing. My entire family's pretty short, so I don't stick out too terribly. My brother died at 17, and he was about 5'7" so I'm not too far off.

i'm 5'5" without shoes.  about 5'6" with shoes on.  there was a one-week period last semester where i was hyper-aware of my height and was afraid that once i started to transition, it would be a barrier to being able to pass.  but as i became aware of my height, i realized that a huge portion of the cis-dudes around me were my height or only an inch or two taller.  once i realized that, i completely stopped caring about my height.

For you short blokes out there..
One of my best mates throughout the years is a brit who's probably over a foot shorter than me, making him 'bout 5 feet ish tall.
He's never mistaken for a child. He's never mistaken for a girl.
And he's been with his taller girlfriend for as long as I've known him, which is about, 8 years or so.

Height ain't everything.

Totally agree with you.  My girlfriend is taller than me and that hasnt been an issue.  Always makes me think of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman :D

Im around 5"6, 5"7.  My dad is 6"4 and his dad was 6"8 neither me nor my two sisters took after my dad.  Im the second tallest after my dad...Even though im kind average height I have such a small build that guys clothes don't fit me right, always looking baggy.
I havn't noticed any change in height since starting T and that was 16months ago.
Because I live in Asia, the men here aren't generally tall, around 5"4-5"9ish so my height wouldnt be a big factor but as soon as i'm around westerners I instatnly feel quite short...
