How do trans people feel about their body size.
Like, how ftms will always be kind of smaller than cis men and mtfs will always be noticeably larger than cis women.
Is this a trait that makes you self conscious about yourself?

6'0" mtf, always wanted to be small and petite, didn't even connect it with being trans for a while
>>
fucking awful

AGP

eh i'm 5' tall and a transguy... and honestly other than it being hard to reach stuff i don't really care... it doesn't affect me finding people who are interested so it's no big deal...

besides i'm hispanic and southern italian + my dad is 5'2 and my mom is 4'11... even if i was cis i wasn't gonna have much hope... and i've met cis guys with similar ethnic backgrounds who have been my height so could be worse...

it's not ideal, but whatever...
>>
>>5323041
I need to start a running count of things I've been called AGP for on this board

>>5323047
Even if FTMs or MTFs think they pass there are some dead giveaways, like hips, Adam's apple, and facial features.

Yes, even Buck Angel.
>>
>>5323064
I'd say it's more Buck's small, petitie head
>>
>>5323064

what does that have to do with my height though?

honestly... shit is what it is, i'm aware that the most i can ever do is relieve dysphoria... and that's all i care about, i don't really have hips, but i mean... obviously i'm not gonna be cis one day lol so i'm not sure why you're telling me that like it's news... yeah i'll likely never pass 100% but oh well i can at least be more comfortable than i am now... nothing's ever 100% ideal, suffering is a part of life builds character and whatnot... as long as i can get laid, get high, and fix some of the shit that bothers me the most i'm good... i accepted that i'm trans a long time ago, and i'm open about it so it's cool

Thankfully I got female friends who are as tall as me at 180-185cm. My bone structure especially on my hands and arms is the killer, kind of masculine and lumpy bones... exactly like my moms ironically enough even though she is/was quite pretty
>>
Mtf 5'6 small hands & feet so I don't think I will be noticeably larger. Its just too bad I'm ugly as sin and will never pass despite the above

5'8"
Big feet
Big hands
Broad shoulders
Small tits

Every time it gets to me I just remind myself that the second most famous porn star in the world has literally all those features
Well she's 5'7" but w/e

Yes to some degree. My height doesn't bother me too much as I'm below average height of males and just above females. Beyond hips/waist as that's universal as fuck for mtfs, I tend to obsess over my shoulder, ribcage, and leg to torso ratio but in comparison to a lot of the females I know and the ones in my family I'm tiny shoulder/ribcage wise and the leg:torso ratio is pretty similar if not more feminine than them... so it's not too bad.
>>
>>5323278
Oh, FUCK YOU

6'1-6'3
>>
Doesn't bother me that much, sometimes it can lead to funny moments. My ex boyfriend was like 5'6 and I am 5'10, it was quite funny seeing him get on his tiptoes to kiss me. I am more worried about my jawline, but I have seen many girls with manly jawlines so I am getting over it.
>>
>>5322995
I moved to Wisconsin. I'm 5'7" so I'm taller than most of my friends but it's okay.
>>
>>5322995

As an MtF, I'm not worried about being 5'10" at all. In terms of passing, I worry about skull shape, the mandible, brow bone, nose, hairline, rib cage, hips (including pelvis, fat, and muscle), voice, feet, hands, neck, and proportions of long bones.

If I were 6'0"+ maybe I would be concerned about my height.
>>
>>5323047

Your parents are the same heights as my brother and his girlfriend. I'll keep my eyes peeled for an FtM nephew.
>>
>>5322995
>mtf 6'1" with a slim frame.
i am a little bit self conscious about it. but i pass great, and get compliments about my height from time to time so i dont dwell on it too much. I just never wear heels, and shopping for clothes can be a challenge sometimes.
>>
>>5322995
being tall excuses broader shoulders and gives you longer legs, which a lot of people find attractive. if i actually was a tall mtf i'd probably be okay with it. i'm 5'8 though
>>
I'm lucky to be 5'5" but like my broad shoulders and huge ribcage always makes me feel awkward when I wear grill clothes so I mostly stick to a more andro/tomboyish style for my upper half
>>
>>5322995
>How do trans people feel about their body size.
I'm fairly ok with it, I just need to get a bigger butt, and nicer legs.
That does give me a lot of anxiety though, because right now I'm very ashamed of them.

>Like, how ftms will always be kind of smaller than cis men and mtfs will always be noticeably larger than cis women.
It's really sad, how the majority of trans people will always be fighting against their bodies, and there's no real way to fix it.

>Is this a trait that makes you self conscious about yourself?
Used to feel really bad about it, but with some weight, and time, I'm fairly ok with it... As I said, just need better shape on my butt and legs.
I'll always have narrow hips, true, but it's not that big of a deal to me anymore.
>>
FtM here, I'm 5' 6" and I don't feel too bad about it, it's the hips I hate.
My girlfriend is really insecure about being a 6' 2" MtF though, and I feel bad because our height difference only makes it more obvious when we're out together.

Stands for autogynephilia, a sexual fetish for dressing and being the opposite gender.

Despite being debunked and full face laughed at in every single psychological circle it is still a common trans meme.

Maybe it's just where I live, but there are plenty of women who clock in at 5'10", so I won't stand out in that respect.

I'm not particularly worried about my proportions, either. When my endo got a close look at my body shape, she said that the only way I could look the way I do without having been on blockers for the past 15 years is to be 47,XXY.
>>

its ok anon you'll pass, just as an ugly woman :3

that'd be pretty funny...

what's sad is in my family that's me getting lucky height wise... my cis chick cousins are all shorter than me... 2 are 4'9, can't say i'd be able to feel ok with that... then again that midget on game of thrones was pretty cool...

I'm mtf and 5'10"

I really love my height, I love being noticeably taller than most women without being super tall. Overall, I don't mind the size of my body, I just wish my proportions were a bit different. I have fairly broad shoulders, but fairly broad hips and thighs as well (over 1 year HRT) and my torso tapers inwards at my waist. My hands and feet are bigger than an average woman, but in proportion to my height, they're pretty normal.

So yeah, there's a few things that bother me, but overall, it's really not that bad. I could have had much much worse.

Pic is me.
>>
>>5322995
Always wanted to be small qt and petite, although being 5'11.5 happened to open up a lot more doors than I'd ever thought of b/c its really desireable in the modeling world.

Normally I walk around and stand next to women and feel tall and self-conscious, but when I show up to a go-see and I'm the tallest there, I have a much better chance imo
>>
>>5325086
>hips nearly as wide as shoulders as an mtf
what sorcery is this
>>
>>5325142
Idk lol, I just always had not-narrow hips and thighs, and now with HRT they got thicker.
>>
>>5322995
My underbust is what I worry about most. 44" and the rib cage it's self is 40" of that.

How old did you start HRT? I want to have false hope.

I see plenty of cis-women who are my height, which makes me feel better about my height obvs.
It's not common, but it happens.
There isn't much I can do about my build per se. I just have to wear things that won't accent the wrong places.

It's often been an amusing observation for cis-het guys that the overwhelming majority of trannies tend to be towering in height.

Seems like a massive grass is greener effect.
Of course, so long as society has a stigma against manlets there will always be the same for giant tranny freaks.

I wouldn't mind dating a trans chick and would love for her to be tall. Being 6'6 people need to get on my level. It would be nice to have a girl that is like 6'0 6'1
>>
6'1
36C
28 waist
38 inch hips
Happy with my body desu. I'm taller than most girls, but I'm constantly getting compliments on my height. I get asked if im a model a lot. I think it helps that I got hormones at 15 ^_^ 19 and stealth now. I wouldn't really change much about my body, maybe drop a shoe size and shrink my shoulders a bit ^_^
>>
>>5325290

i'm in similar circumstance like you about hips/thighs. I will be starting hrt at 23 (few months). I BEG OF YOU, JEBUS, TO BLESS MY GENETICS/HORMONES TO REACH RESULTS LIKE THIS GIRL..

I'm 5'11 transgirl but that's not unusual among black women, my 15 year old female cousin is taller than me
>>
>>5324867

thanks...

>>5324894

honestly... and trans girls need to realize this... her height with that weight isn't feminine... she's too thin, most trans girls could do with eating more... i get why they don't, but cis girls don't usually get that thin cuz they can't...

>>5325303

i once got really high with this chick i one who was tall as fuck and equally wide, and i actually asked her if smoking with me was like smoking with a mythical creature...

that's a good attitude to have towards it though, cuz there's not much you can do to fix it... limb lengthening is a thing i suppose, but holy fuck does that look unpleasant...

It's not the height, it's the physical features. Get closer to a MTF or a FTM and you can tell what's the biological sex.
>>
I'm slightly self conscious about it, i'm not that small, i'm 5'9 but i don't see it as a trans problem, there are plenty of cis men smaller than me that probably feel the same
>>
>>5322995

>mtf
>5'7"

I don't mind. Where I live there are large nordic people everywhere so I'm rarely the tallest one in the room. However I do have a few inches on my female friends.
>>
I don't care about my height at all until people start commenting on it, which they tend to do a lot

the only real problem I have is that I will never find a girlfriend who is anywhere near as tall as me unless I date another trans girl which I don't really want to do
>>
Mtf I'm 5'3 and personally it's nice but I get a lot of shit for being short. I don't want to perpetuate the meme but it is very true that short people get treated worse.
>>
>>5322995
I'm 5'11'' and stick out like a sore thumb because of it, makes me very self conscious because all the females in my area never hit over 5'5''

Not a cis guy, I am mtf, I just know every single one of my old friends thought women were beneath them and actively beat up lgbt people.

Didn't say you were a cis guy. You're a douche because you assume a great deal about a group of people you know NOTHING about. Not all guys are like your shitty old friends. Don't be sexist. I'm mtf and my old guy friends were trash too, but I found new ones that are completely different.

i don't know what to tell you, hasn't been my experience.
I transitioned when i was 17, and been friends with these guys since freshman year of college i've had a long term girlfriend since i met them,
and none of my male friends have ever offered to fuck me

A few months ago I saw a photo of a legitimately beefy and hairy looking bear who was supposedly FTM on /lgbt/, and ever since I was like, 'damn, there are actually FTMs who are my type, that's pretty amazing'. But last week I stumbled upon that guy's profile on a dating website and found out that he was biologically male and just happened to have had his cock and balls cut off.

Feels bad.

No idea about him, but I know one guy who had his genitals removed because he was abused by his parents who burnt it with a torch after they caught him fapping and developed serious BIID because of that.

MtF. I'm not excessively tall for a woman (5'6") and my shoulders aren't huge but my ribcage is pretty noticeably larger than most genetic women my size. My forehead is also kind of fucked. Its all been fucked since I was at least 15. Feelsbadman.
