Hi Key,
OK didn't know your height and of course your weight and proportions are very important. You don't go out to shop? Why? Lots of tall beautiful women out there. Never seen a short basketball or netball player, and they can look as feminine as any other woman, so don't put yourself down. It's easy for us to do but it leads to a lack of confidence. At that is what gives us away. OK I'm about 5'8" but wear heels always, so I always present at about 6'. I'm skinny, I get looked at all the time, 'Oh look at this one' was a comment on Weds at a restaurant, as I walked to the table with my sister in law. I walked to their table and asked what they wanted to look at. They c******d themselves. They were also tourists, from OS so I took particular delight in educating them in polite words of saying I'm a woman out with a friend for dinner, and I hope next time you go out for dinner you get insulted as the old crab that you look like.
Had a nice meal.
I was wearing a long skirt I had bought at Sears & Roebook (?) about 15 years ago. I'm an Australian and it was my first trip to the USA with my wife,, it is brown very light flowery, long skirt with a matching T top in a sort of suede material, short sleeved and all of the ensemble is light. Weds was hot here, about 36C so heavy clothing wasn't an option. I had three woman come over and ask where I had bought the outfit. And they were interested in the outfit and not me.
As a 6'5" female you will meet challenges that some other women will not. But you need to make that decision. You are just as much a woman as any other woman on this planet.
You have nothing to answer for. You have nothing to explain.
Know, what are your legs like? A good feature, most people love legs that go for ever.
What is the weight like?
So what are you doing about it? 
What is your hair like? Tall woman can get away with long long hair.
What is your facial and body hair like? light, heavy, colour? Blondish or darkish ?
What do YOU want to do? Is what YOU want to do limited by body image or something else, nothing wrong with either.
Do you wish to live as a full time female human being?
If you do, what will you give up and what will you gain for that?
Sorry if I went ahead a bit, I think I read a little in the post.
Love and Hugs.
I'm here for you to talk to.

Lol, no, that's fine ^^ I am a bit overweight, working on losing that via cardio, cuz i don't wanna gain much muscle before i go on HRT. My lower legs however, are all muscle, no fat at all. Being a bit heavy works well for that, and i have a larger frame. I figure i'll play up the look of northern european women, the sort of strong beauty.
My hair is dark, but more at a middle point. It's thick too, and has a natural wave. When I'd go to the salon back before I found out about myself, i'd have women commenting to me about it. I'm still relatively clueless about hair care and makeup, but I think it might be because I don't get split ends or much frizz. If I comb it down and it's not TOO humid, it stays. Right now I'm busy growing it back. It was close to shoulder length in december, but as I was supposed to get a job in a public store, i had to cut it. It's something i'd get kicked out of the house for, yeah I know, ridiculous. Now that I run my own costume business, no more restrictions. Facial hair isn't terrible, it's a bit lighter than my normal hair color, and on the upper lip it's barely noticeable unless it grows out long. Only issue is i got the neck-beard gene, which i'm itching to get rid of first when i get to that part of the path. A razor only works so well.
Now if you wanna ask if I want to live full time, well yes, I do. It's not something said lightly though, or without a lot of thought. I get mixed signals from my parents over it, and being a tall, big person, it will be harder to pass than others, but to get rid of the gut-wrenching depression and pain from it all, I'd do it again and again. The only thing I'd lose is a male body. Who I am now, save for mannerisms and speech pattern, and the way I dress, is me. I just have to hide some of it because of my family, and because to show it would bring them trouble, what being active in the church. I respect them, love them, and the love me too, so for now I'll keep incognito, despite how much i hate doing it.
Hmm, now as for fashion. OOooooh, i could talk all night about what styles i fancy ^^ Luckily I can at least snap off this bit before insomnia stops working ^^
I have to be realistic, light colors don't work well on me. First thing you learn in art class is that brights make things seem bigger, and darks make them seem smaller. I tried wearing white once, it was terrible. Luckily, I like a lot of the punk, gothic, and deviations there of in america. I also love the lolita, aristocrat, cyber, and a bit of the urahara styles from japan. Those, luckily, are a bit more forgiving than american styles. Lolita and aristocrat in particular are based loosely off victorian styles, so they fit a person of european decent such as myself just as well as anyone else. Lucky that I want to relocate to Japan one day, so styles like that won't be out of place
Umm, I think my train derailed, lol, because I cant think of what else I was gonna say.
