CDS would you ever like to be short and petite?

[seanmuscle]

What are the benefits and drawbacks? Would you miss being tall or strong or macho looking?

In freshman year HS I noticed I stopped growing at 5' 4" tall, so I gave up on a future career being a Pro Basketball player. I used to play BB every day, in indoor and outdoor courts. But now I'm the perfect height for a crossdresser because this height is also the height of the average American woman. So I can wear regular or petite clothes. Good thing I wasn't taller as my shoes size is 9.5 M.

[whowhatwhen]

I'd love to be smaller, machismo is a huge turn off and I never had it anyway.

[KimberlyJean]

If I had been born a girl I would have went a different direction with my fitness, but if I could choose I would be the female version of who I am now.

[joannemarie barker]

I'm 5"10 and slim with long legs,I'm happy with that

[Elara]

To be short and petite would be great mainly for the awesome range of shoes I could get.

[Lorenqt]

I'm 5'2" and I love it.

[YorkshireRose]

I'm 5'10 and slim so a nice height and build imo, I can wear a dress size 16 and am happy with that. I have always prefered petite girls, but I like being a "tall girl"

Less legs to show off??? Not my preference. My height is perfect and I'm very comfortable with it, no matter the height of the heels I wear

[STACY B]

Ohhhhh to be 5" about 110ib size 7 shoe the rest is history ........

[Janelle_C]

I don't have it so bad a 5' 10.5" and a women's 11 shoe. I don't care about macho that's for the young and if that's what I cared about I wouldn't be wearing dresses. But if I could wakeup tomorrow how ever I wanted to be it would be 5' 8" size 8 shoe and 130lb and long hair. And my wife would rollover in bed and say who the hell are you lol.

[cindi cinnamon]

Would I ever like to be "short and petite"? The short answer....... YES, HELL YES !!!!!!!!

But, at 6'4" and 230 lbs, I know that ain't ever gonna change. (except for the weight..... I'm doing something about that..... my goal is 190 lbs.).

My only choice is to "OWN IT". And that is precisely what I do.

[KelleyG]

growing up I always wished I was taller, but now I'm happy with my height. at 5'5" and a size 8.5 woman's shoe its easy to find clothes and shoes. Now I just need to lose about 10-15 more lbs.

[Darla]

Growing up I was always picked last for kickball- being smaller and skinny. Now I'm 5'7" and 140, size 9 women's shoe. Male or female I'm happy the way I am. There's nothing I'd change except to haves lot less body hair!

[BRANDYJ]

Sure, for my fem side it would be great to be shorter. Maybe 5'5". Bu then again at 5'9",I'm not that tall anyway. But since my predominate side is masculine, I'm glad I am not shorter. But I am also glad I'm not taller then I am. So I guess you can say I satisfy both sides of my gender right where I'm at. Now...let's not talk ablout wieght!

[joandher]

Sorry?

Don't be sorry, unless you were able to transform yourself from bigger numbers and won't share the secret with the rest of us. I was a very late pubertal bloomer, being about 5'8"-140# when I graduated from high school (part of a family with 6-3 father, 5-8 mother, 6-4 brother, 6-0 brother, and 5-9 sister), then started growing to 6'1.5"-175#.± 10# or so over the years. Out of curiosity, I measured myself a few weeks ago and discovered that, at 63 years, I am not that tall any more. I seem to have shrunk to a bit over 6'. Holding at 178±# and sufficiently disgusted if it tops 180 to starve myself for a while. I had been 6-1.5 for so long that I never thought about it until I passed one of those old-fashioned scales with the height-measuring stick and checked it out.

I'm hoping that the shrinkage continues and accelerates...

[Veronnie2]

5' 6" tall here, and I would not change a height thing. I can wear 3", 4", 5" heels and not stand out. I also can usually buy off the rack, and my size 10 shoes fit well. I guess that is my blessing. veronnie2

[EllieOPKS]

Only thing I can say to the OP is we could play some one on one, I would loom over you at about 5 6" tall. I am working on the petite thing and I'll say it again, my tag line should be " I never new how masculine I looked until I tried to look feminine". No diet will fix broad shoulders.

[Vickie_CDTV]

At one point in my life I would have said yes to being smaller (I am already a bit shorter than your average male), but nowadays I don't know. Aside from some health risks from being larger, I just no longer believe all women are "supposed" to be skinny and no more than a certain height tall. I don't think a GG who is large or tall is somehow "defective" or intrinsically worth less than a GG who is short and petite. Maybe I am at an age where one starts to question everything they are told by society, I don't know; at the same time I am attracted to big and/or tall women, so I come at this from a different perspective that way as well.

So to answer the question, other than some health risks and if finding clothes to fit was not an issue... would I want to be thin? At this point, no, I wouldn't.

[April_Ligeia]

No, I don't wish this in any real sense. Sometimes I wish I were smaller and could buy shoes in a store (they don't carry women's size 14), but, at 6'5" and 250 pounds, I don't worry about how I'm dressed, or if I'm 'read' or much else.

[Cindia]

Petite would be great, not too short, but shorter than I am (6'3"). Or least get my shoe size down to at least nine. The good stuff rarely makes it to size 12.

[Organza]

Tamigirl, have you checked David Tate's Infiniti? It runs up to about 13WW last time I checked. I have about five pairs in 11WW that I got at Zappo's or ShoeBuy.com.

[misskristykitty]

I am a GG and I am 4'11 and after the birth of my son I weigh 160, but just started dieting and looking to get back down to my pre baby weight of 120. I wear a size 6 shoe and when I wear my ADIAS scandals I am a size 4 in boys shoes. I love being short just the weight thing is what I am dealing with now other then that I consider myself to be a Hobbit or as my CD boyfriend calls me his Body Dropt Human. LoL!!
