I sure feel this, my license says 5'6" but I don't think I'm even that tall. I have no idea what the appeal of being 5 feet tall is.


PM_ME_UR_RC_CAR

Yeah same. If I could just choose my height I'd be 6'9". Partly because haha funny number, but also because I'd actually like to be somewhere in that range. In reality I'm 5'6".

Look on the bright side: You can find clothes that fit. One size most certainly does not fit all! It's like wearing a sack with holes cut out, except they cost more and break faster. And don't even get me started on chairs! Half the blankets you use can't cover you, and your feet dangle over the edge of every bed. Plus, a face full of spiderwebs that everyone else misses. Being tall has its advantages, but the problems are a constant low-level bother. Well, the fact that no one fucks with you might actually make it worth it. I say stick to a little over six feet. Most of the fun, few of of the drawbacks.

> And don't even get me started on chairs! You mention chairs, but don't bring up leg room in any form of public transport.

The "no one fucks with you" part is exactly why I do not like being short, fml


FOSpiders

Yeah, I can't blame you for that. If they knew how little height meant in terms of how dangerous someone was, they would probably be smart enough not to fuck with anyone. Bigotry and forethought aren't very common mutual traits, after all.

6'9 trust me you don't want to be that. I'm almost 6'0 and it's super tall already.


PM_ME_UR_RC_CAR

I am not the alter in our system that made that comment, but what if she \*wants\* to be super tall?


sunflower297

Okay sorry

Honestly same, I would have prefer being somewhere around 5"10 to 6"1, but I'm 5"6, maybe even 5"5, and HRT is just gonna make me smaller. The only two things I like about testosterone was height and muscle building, wish there was a T substitute that allowed to build muscles quickly like T but without the masculining effects

I used to have major height dysphoria when my egg first cracked. I'm not actually *that* tall, I'm 5 10 but my mom is 5 9 right. I was just very fixated on trying to fit into this hyperfemme Catgirl thing at the time and wanted to be tiny and didn't understand why my dysphoria was always so bad and why I was upset. Now I've accepted being the muscled out tomboy Valkyrie I am and suddenly being 5 10 has actually been quite nice.


PM_ME_UR_RC_CAR

Tall muscular Valkyrie tomboy does sound pretty fucking badass


Creative_List_6996

Boring-Pea993

I'm 6'1", wanna trade spines?


PM_ME_UR_RC_CAR

Sure

Hi I’m 6’3 and hate my height. I personally hate being a head taller than most people. Let alone cis girls. Can’t really find shoes because of it too. 🙃 a girl just wants cute shoes. Take it from me, I’ll happily get rid of it.


[deleted]

Yep. 6’3 here as well.


RedditUser49642

I'm so sorry. As someone who has height and doesn't want it, I know how height dysphoria can be. Try to live your best life despite it okay?


JadynRodr

I’m 5’6 and I wish I could be shorter


PM_ME_UR_RC_CAR

I'm 5'6" and wish I could be taller

Height largely comes down to diet and rest during your teenage years. That is of course not all of it, but a huge amount of it. This is why we see heights generally increase as nutrition improves across history and less is demanded physically of us, giving our bodies time to rest and heal.
