Girls,

It seems to me that a large percentage of us are taller than the average.

Is this just the girls I know or is there some genetic link to being TG'd and height?

Please tick a box to help with my research.

I am 5' 6', which seems ok to me. As far as height is concerned, at least, no problem passing Now weight - there is a problem! Lol

MandyTS
01-07-2006, 01:36 PM
Height is not the issue. I have seen a few GGs that were taller than me but "passed" 100%. To be honest it is all about looks, clothing, manerisms, etc to being a woman, not height...

BTW it is hard for me also, I hope hormones will as they say shrink my feet a bit!

What is the average? Average of gg's or cd's? It would seem to me that your poll reflects "most" cds are under 6 feet, which would mean to mean that most are shorter. But what the heck. It's just poll!

Hi Jan! I don't recall having seen any posts from you in a while. It's wonderful to see you, I hope all is well down-under.

I'm 5'9" without heels. 6'1" with. :cheeky:

For CDing purposes, I wish I were shorter.

But given I spend 98% of my life in drab, I'm glad I'm not any shorter.

Hugs from up-over.

6'3" and haven't shrunk since attaining that height. Just checked it at the doctors's office the other day.

Love my height most of the time. But would surly like to be about 6'0" with heels and have a size 9 male foot. Could almost be reasonalbly passable and find shoes that are fun. Not to change the thread but it is amazing that I like to shop for GG shoes. Hate it when I need boy shoes.

Hugs, Kath

God i'd kill (well probably not) to be 5'6-5'8. Sadly i'm up there at 5'11. :(

Jan W
01-07-2006, 03:27 PM
Thankyou all for contributing.

I'm 5'11 in my stocking feet and only wear 2 1/2" heels max while out.

I have bought some flats to wear with women's jeans to blend in in the daytime.

I feel huge when talking to a GG while dressed but don't feel big at all when in drab. Does 2" make that much difference?

I do like to be around tall GG's when I'm dressed but don't seem to find any that are taller than me. Will keep looking.

We frequent a club where most GG's are 5" nothing and we feel monstrous.

Love,


Jan

I'm just a smidge under six feet tall, and I also limit myself to shorter heels when I go out, but that has as much to do with the fact that i tend to dress casually most of the time also.

I'm a fraction under 6' in stockings and the lowest heels I have are 3". I should probably do something about that one day.

Luckily I can wear size 10, maybe 10.5 shoes and as all the GGs who know me are 5'9'' plus, I can't see a problem yet .. :cheeky:

I'm 6' 1" and a bit, to be honest I like being tall and don't worry about it that much, there are women out there as tall as me (one stunning woman works In the office I used to work in she's at least 6")
But hey there you go we are who we are, I wouldn't change me, much, we'll I guess I'd like size 8 (UK) feet as the range of available shoes goes up considerably.

So I googled height to find out the missing ingredient to the question, which is just how high is high.
The answers below, if it helps or if it does not.
I'm 6", comfy in sandals.
hugs,
j-a:cool:


According to the Height Analyzer, the percentage of men taller
than 6'4" is 0.5%.

The analyzer provides a graph that "shows the distribution of men's height in
the United States. This is most well
known as a bell curve, because it is shaped as a bell. The medium height for
men in the United States is 5' 8½"[2]. This means that half
of all men are taller than this height and half are shorter[3]. As you can see
from the bell curve, most men's
height are near the median. As you look at heights in either direction away
from the medium, there are smaller
numbers of men at that height. The bell curve is also called the normal curve.
The middle 95% (mathematically,
plus or minus two standard deviations) is the normal range. 93.6% of men are
between 5' 3" and 6' 2"."

I am 6' 2" in my stocking feet making me 6' 5" with my tallest heels I own. Sometimes I wish I was shorter but there are other tall women out there so being tall doesn't mean your not passable

Lady Katherine

Just 1/4 inch under 6 ft without heels most of my life; but now at age 76 i'm told I am 5' 10 1/2" ... and shrinking! There's hope to be a more girlish size, yet. Katherine:D

I'm 6'0" and when you add the 5" heels and poofy hair I'm more like 6'6". Sometimes, when out, I'm proud to be tall but mostly I wish I was shorter.

Jodi

Just a point of info. A 3" or 4" heel will not increase your height by that same amount. There is a geometrical progression with heels. A 3" will increase your height by about 2-1/2", and a 4" will increase by a little under 3-1/2". Measure yourself and try it.

Put me down for 5'10''
The first time I was out in public dressed was at a cosmetics store. I was getting ready to leave when two older women came in. I waved goodbye to the clerk.
I later returned and found out that one woman asked her, "Was that a lady?" The clerk asked in reply, "What do you think?"
The older woman said she thought I was rather tall (had on four-inch strappy sandals that day), but that maybe I was just tall. She added that I had a little too much hair on my arms (the sleeves on my top had ridden up as I got up to leave).
Well, the clerk and she went around before the clerk admitted I was not a lady. The older woman did say that I looked very nice and that my make-up was well done. Meanwhile, the other older lady asked, what girl?" I was invisible to her which I think means that I passed with her.

I'm 6'5" in my stockings, a 'tad' bit taller in my 4' heels, which I love to wear! Especially with a long black skirt!

I just have to remember to watch out for door jambs, low hanging signs, low hanging lights, etc :doh:

Clothing that fits right is hard to find, but I've taken up sewing and have learned to alter or just make my own clothes with great success :)

Bliss GG

I'm a GG, so I couldn't respond to the poll. But I'm an information junkie, and I happen to have some recent U.S. population data here:
The average American male is 5'9".
14.5% are 6' and over, compared to 38.5% in this poll.
And only 3.9% of U.S. males are 6'2" or over, compared to 14.88% of this poll.
(Sorry, I don't have data from outside the U.S.)
Even if we allow for some "statistical error" (small sample size, and the fact that men "overestimate" their height by an average of 3"), it looks like crossdressers are taller than the average man.

Facinating.

By the way, my CDing BF is over 6'2"
