I'm 5'8". I'm as tall as my dad and my brother is 6', which taller than both our parents (my mom is 5'4" btw). I'm as tall as the majority of the guys from my home country and a good 5 to 6 inches taller than the average woman there. :p

Under 5', Im 18 and im 4'10. 

5'5".  Wish I were a bit taller, but then, I've always liked short guys, so I'll be alright down here.  Or I'll relocate to a region with a shorter average height.  You say Florida, Jakeas?

I'm 5'3 but I'm actually okay with that. I just remind myself that there are short bio guys as well. I can think of at least 3 guys I went to high school with that are still the same height as me today.

I'm 5'4... and I HATE it. I get crap from my friends a lot. They tease me for being short and it only makes my height dysphoria worse. What I would give for having three more (real) inches. My best friend (a girl) is 5'7 (actually I'm the shortest in my group of friends) and I hate being looked down on. I always compare myself to other dudes when I'm out and I get depressed and will be for the entire day. I just wish I could be taller. One day when I was really depressed I looked at limb lengthening surgery but then decided it wasn't worth the risks especially since most people who get it hope to gain 3 inches only end up gaining half an inch. At the moment there's not much I can do about it but be thankful. So, I am working on that and my self esteem instead (something I CAN change). 

Would your friends still tease you if they knew how much it upsets you? I would hope not or they are not very good friends.

I am M2F but while I was male I lived happily at 5'5". I think you are letting it get you down when many many birthmales cope with being your height or less! My dad is 5'2" give or take and he has a huge chip on his shoulder about it, in other words he does more to make himself feel short than anyone else does to make him feel short!

My advice? Tell your friends it hurts when they tease you about it and don't worry what everyone else thinks!

I'm 5'5. Latinos generally don't get very tall but maybe T could give me a little extra height.

5,2

I'm around 5'3...I wish I was taller, but I'm learning to accept my shortness

5'7 and three quarters barefoot, which is kind of a strange place to be. I seem to be randomly growing, it would be nice if I could reach 5'8 although I'm not really uncomfortable with my height.

Hey guys, I don't know if this will help or just be an unwanted imposition.

I am a genetic male, I have not started hrt at all. My height is 5'10" which from what I can tell is average height for males. I have a friend that is 5'6" and he is the tall brother in his family.

I just wanted to say that height shouldn't be a major factor in passing so I would hope that those who are worried about their height can be at a bit more ease.

5'4''.
It is awkward to be around taller guys, sure. But I'd rather this than be tall as this one guy I knew, who had to duck not to smack his head going through most doorways. Klutz + tall is a recipe for brain damage I just don't need.

You guys really shouldn't hang too much on your height.  I'm 6'0" and I tower over most guys.  6'0" really isn't all THAT tall, but I'm taller than the majority of men.  There are a lot more men who are 5'5" and under then there are women who are 6'0"+ or even 5'10"+.  I'm hoping I loose an inch or so when I start HRT, but I'm betting it won't happen for me.  I honestly have a feeling that I'll look exactly the same, even after a couple years of HRT.

I am 5'4 It would be nice to be taller but it doesn't bother me anymore that much its all about confidence no one ever gives me bs about my height and it hasn't stopped the girls from wanting to date me I have had girls taller than me who wanna date me so its no biggie.

5'9" and I feel fortunate that I am taller than the average U.S. natal female.

I already mentioned my height in another thread.. but I guess it wouldn't hurt to repeat myself  (even though this thread appears to be from 2011 lol)

Anyway, I'm usually measured anywhere from 4'9" to 4'11", and to be honest.. I don't enjoy being short. At all. It's one of my many insecurities, really, but at the age of 22.. there's nothing I can do about it.  (but that doesn't prevent me from wishing to grow a few inches every time my birthday rolls around  )

I'm 173cm which is slightly over 5'8.  I feel pretty fortunate to fall within pretty normal bounds of NA men.  I'm the same height as my oldest brother and only about 1-2" less than my dad.  I'm significantly taller than the females in my family. Not sure what happened but hey, not complaining. Would love to grow taller on T but I wouldn't be surprised if I don't.

I'm 5'2". My height doesn't really bother me most of the time. Lots of jewish men are short so I figure I come by it honestly.

I'm 5'3ish and just turned twenty last week. Height is the #1 cause of my dysphoria next to my perfect child-bearing hips and massive boobs. Even with a BMI of 18, my boobs seem massive to me and my hips seem more pronounced than ever. I basically have to have a BMI of 15 to have any changes in the size of my hips, but I've been trying not to starve myself, just in case there's some remote possibility of growing, though it's laughable now.

The girl I like is 5'7". I'd be fine at 5'7" or even 5'6", but at this height I haven't got a chance in hell. It's not her fault either. She's a great person, but I wouldn't even be attracted to me in her position. *sigh*

Oh God, i wish I was your height dude. My height (5ft 3    ) has caused me no end of self hatred and such. It's probably the thing that makes me most  dysphoric apart frome my curves/hips/bum

Don't feel like a douche man

I know exactly how you feel, dude.  I can TOTALLY relate to everything in your post.

I wish I was 6'3"   I have female friends taller than me!

SAME! ALL of my female friends are taller than me. :/
