Fullmoon I think you can be whatever you want to be, never just accept something because it's been that way your entire life has being born trans taught you nothing haha

the thing is, bones are awfully hard. it would be nice if they invented something that melted your bones, and could reform them like clay, then they solidify again. i think i've gotten to appreciate being tall though

I'm 6ft2 and I like my height a lot, my body shape needs some work, but I'll get there. It's good to be different.

I'm 5'5", 135 lbs. I have little hands and tiny feet.

Still trying to find shoes at the thrift store...namely stilettos is a difficult. Cuz all the girls are 8-8 1/2 around here.

im six foot 1 inch, my shoulders r twice the size of my hips, waiste is pretty thin but it doesnt help the broad shoulders.

I weigh 143 pounds so i guess im underweight.. I pray to god that after some time on hrt my upper body will tone down a lot and that one day I could be a passable female....

Overall I can't complain really. 5'7 hips and shoulders the same size as each other. 10.5stone and for a female and I'm able to lift my own body weight. and quite flat chested. it's a body shape that would work well with a female gymnast.

Of course I'm not a gymnast XD. so in an ideal world I'd have an extra inch or two of bust, and would prefer to be .5 of a stone lighter. But yeah I know I got off pretty easy on that front.

Reoopen the tips which stop growing, so we can reduce or add up to 4" sounds perfectly achievable, I can imagine it being used far more to grow the bones, anymore more than 4-5 inches I can imagine they'd have to reform other things like our heads haha.   There's 6' 8 models no height is too tall

i think i've gotten to appreciate being tall though

I see the attraction of being 5' 5 but then I see the attraction of being 6' like Red Sonja

I'm tall at 5' 9.5, and there's loads of girls taller, I definitely walk around in crowds alittle taller than the average woman but the affinity with them is there, I think that's why we feel the call to be shorter it's to be like everybody else, we want to fit in and stand out at the very same time

I don't like my height or body shape.  My body shape isn't really too bad, but at 6'2", a girl will always be noticed more than if she just blends in.

Hi.

Im 6' 3",i love being a tall woman, but i cannot really wear heels, which is a shame!!
Although i am very satisfied with my body shape, and wear a uk size 10-12!

i just wouldnt mind being abit shorter!!

Zoe

hi Marta, nice to meet you. I am tall too. I am 5' 11" barefoot and even a low 4" heel makes me 6' 3" lol! I have a size 11 foot (11 in womens) i really hate that. Rarely, i find a genetic female that is as tall or taller than I and I want so bad to ask her how much she weighs, but dont want to be rude. My weight hovers around 155 (+/- 3lbs) and I have always wondered how much a genetic female weighs that is as taLL AS i.  just thought that i would offer my 3 cents worth.

I also wanted to thank you for using this site because it is nice to hear from genetic females, (though i hear a LOT of things at school, sometimes raising even my eyebrows! beauty school wil do that!)

oh yes, body shape..... I LOVE my body shape.

I should be but I just don't see it, even gg's will say "your so skinny"

I just don't see it, I see such manly traits yet. I'm so obsessed with having proportions of a typical female. I am at the small side for every body measurement for woman but I still don't see it.

My ratio for hips to waist is just a little above the 77% that is typical for women but again I don't see it. 27" waist 34" hips. The only thing that is not in range for average is my height and that isn't much higher at 5'6.5"

Overall

Weight 126#

Height 5'6.5"

waist 27"

Bust 33.5" ugh!! because under chest 31.5"

Hips 34"

Feet size 8 womans

My hands, neck, head, shoulders, arms. legs and so on are all on the smaller side for female.

WHY!! do I feel like this big girl. I know when I am around men I feel the total opposite, I feel so small to some men even though there not much taller.

Oh I forgot HEELS! OMG I feel like a giant how do you girls that are 5'10" and above do it. How do you get over that feeling of feeling like Gigantica woman.

It's odd, when I was still presenting as a guy, I hated my height. I think cause I wanted to disappear most of the time. Now I love it - 6'1". I think it is a variety of things. My body has a female shape to it, 36-27-36 and 135lbs, so it really comes across as girl-tall not guy-tall. I don't really have any interest in heels, so I'm never going to be any taller. I live in an environment where I see girls who are around my height on a daily basis. And I don't date guys - I hear that some guys don't like women who are taller than them (wusses).

There are aspects of my body that bother me, but height really isn't one of them.

Honestly, you seem rather small to me. My ex hated being 5'8" cause she thought she was too short - her sisters are all 6' or taller. It's all a matter of perspective.

I like being 5'5 But I wish I could lose a bunch of this muscle mass. I need to lose weight from my belly too. Since starting HRT I've gained 5 lb so now I weigh 180lb. I have small hands, almost no adams apple So I have that going for me. My love handles give me a curvy figure so I have mixed feelings about that. I wish my breasts would grow more, but its only been 6 months. I'd love to have hips too but I guess I missed that train since I'm 32 now. And I'm a size 9 in shoes.

Yes I did when I was a guy, but I seem bigger now as a girl.

When I was a man I felt like this scrawny little guy even though I wasn't that small 5' 7"  (yes lost 1/2 inch with hrt) and 145-155 weight.

As a girl I'm on the lower side of everything but seem bigger then the average woman.

Your dimensions sound good a little on the thin side, at 6'1" and being that thin I don't know how you got 36" bust. I have been trying to eat more unhealthy hoping it goes to the hips and boobs, 20 Twinkies later no such luck not a pound or inch.

I'm not a pilot, but I remember reading somewhere that pilots have to keep in mind "TRUST YOUR INSTRUMENTS".

When there's low visibility (night, fog, etc) it's easy to sense your plane turning when it's going straight--or going straight, when it's actually turning--and if you go by what your ears (balance organs) tell you, you will crash.

TRUST YOUR INSTRUMENTS.    If they say you're not turning, you are NOT turning. If they say you are turning, you are NOT going straight.

So in your case, learn to trust your instruments--the scale, the tape measure, other people's observations. You're looking pretty darn good for any woman (based on the numbers), so it sounds like it's just in your head.

Hope this helps!

This is cute, thanks hun!

Problem is I just don't trust them.

Oh I forgot there are a couple of things I have that aren't female. Adams apple (not noticeable) , but how many women have one of those? short fingers and the biggest one sun damaged face and I AM UGLY!!

I wish I was shorter. 5'5" isn't short enough... I wish I was 5'2". But Persian girls are rarely that tall. It's generally 5'6"-5'9"

I love my height. I'm 5'5. The only problem is that I love to wear high heels which then makes me look like a giant next to my boyfriend, lol. As far as my body shape, I like being thick(not fat). I think it's nice and sexy. And I was blessed to have what my boyfriend calls, a JLO butt, hehe. I just wish my waist was smaller and my hips a bit wider but I'll survive.

I'm ok with my body...
Height 5'8
Weight 135
no bust to speak of haven't started HRT :/
waste 28-29
hips are about 34ish

so yeah a typical guy body I just hope that HRT with added fat (redistribution) will help....
I'm just glad that I don't have very large bones and that a lot is from fat with underlying muscle, not that I want to lose it all I still want to do well in martial arts.
I don't mind my height because I'm fairly common but in my opinion (note my opinion) shorter is cuter taller is sexier ^^

6ft1 and 165 lb, and loving it.  My shoulder could be slightly narrower, feet slightly smaller (women's size 11 US) but it's not something I care about.  It nice to have a wife the same height and shoe size though

Yes, I'm 10lbs underweight and trying to gain that, though it's hard - old eating disorder. And I'm an A cup, not exactly a large bust. I'd like to trade muscle for fat on my chest so I go to a B without going above 36, lose another inch on my shoulders and add 2 to my hips. That would pretty much be ideal. With 10lbs and another year on hormones I might just get it too.
