There are some tall transsexual women here. I understand that clothing and other appearance matters have to be much more carefully managed, that's all.

Height is just a number, just like age.... If you truly need to transition you will do it regardless of height, age, and everything else.... These are only barriers in our minds that are self imposed..
I'm tall, I transitioned, I survived, and not once has my height been a factor in acceptance in any shape way or form.
If you feel you need to transition, transition. The details will work itself out.
I thought I was too tall, too fat, my voice was too low.
So I didn't push to transition even though I wanted it more than anything else.
Each time I lost hope of ever transitioning, I became very self destructive.
When I found out I sang bass, I turned to booze and drugs.
When I was forced to quit or never have contact with my kids again,
I gained weight until I had a heart attack and a stroke.
I almost missed my daughter's wedding.
When I did transition in 1988, I was happier and healthier than I had ever been.
By the start of 1990 I'd lost over 100 lbs.
When I had to abort transition I doubled my weight to 330 lbs.
When I started to transition again in 2010, I lost weight, I exercised more.
My heart health was better than ever. And I actually looked and felt younger.

This really moved me... So impressed with your mindset and honesty... the reality of this question is that in the end, its not gonna matter... not to be too fatalistic, but if you are high intensity ts and if you "fight" it, its just not going to work out that great no matter how tall or short
I am real
Wear heels. People will think 'Wow look how tall she is', and just as fast say 'Oh, it's the heels.'
My GF and I go everywhere together, we're both 6'. So far nobody has commented.
I actively play volleyball and I am on a national volleyball team. I am 5'6" and the shortest person on the team. I don't know if any of the others are transsexual, it is not a topic we discuss. However, I sometimes wonder given where I came from.
Recently I attended a local college game with my daughters. After the game I went down to talk to the coaches. The team was walking off the court at the time. They were all giants. About 14 college kids all of which could have stepped on me and crushed me like bug. Do I think you are too tall to transition? My opinion doesn't matter, but attend a women's volleyball or basketball game and sit near the teams benches, then make that decision for yourself.
