-.- Will My Height Be A Problem?

[Guest chelsy123]

Hihi everyone, another question from me =s sorry.

I'm erm...6'3 or 6'4 (it's been a bit since i measured my height) and I was wondering if i would ever be passable as a female.

I'm hopefully at the end of my growth rope..hopefully .

But anyways...would I be passable as a girl? I've seen some tall girls..but they are like 6'1 at most. I'm trying to find out if one day recieving SRS would be a smart idea..me height is the major problem, the next one being body hair (but that one is solvable with the aid of a ton of cash ).

Anyways, if you can comment or post something go right ahead and do so . Ty for reading and putting up with my constant wave of q's!

Hi honey

I don't know if you watch Tyra's show "Next Top Model" but this was the first season that they had for women under 5' 10". Most of the women that do modeling are 6' or more and the shortest height requirement for modeling was always 5' 10". Also most of those models wear heals so they are taller yet. So yeah, you shouldn't have any problems passing, and remember people come in all shapes and sizes.

Personally I wouldn't worry about that, work on the things you can change, be a good person and be proud of who you are. I'm sure you'll be just fine.

Don't worry you can pass at 6 foot or more. I know because I am roughly the same height with the feet and hands to match. Like you've already been told most models are 6 plus, because tall is in. And look at the bright side tall girls like us don't need to buy heels and torture ourselves with them we're already tall!

Hi chelsy,

Maybe I'm more observant than I once was, but in the past few years I've noticed quite a large number of young women that are substantially over 6'1". (I'm around 5'9" or 10") and they are quite tall. And they come in all shapes.

Maybe part of the reason is that my youngest daughter is now at least as tall or probably taller than I am. She was in sports growing up, on a lot of travel teams (going to different states), and there were certainly tall girls all over the place.

So, I wouldn't think your height should really be much of a problem. Stand and walk confidently, I think, goes a long way to showing others that your height is just a part of you and not anything unusual.

Hugs,

Chloë

Well, I don't know if you have read about my experiences in Memphis with my best friends Donna Jean and Lizzy - Dee jay is the midget at only 5'7" (she says) with Lizzy at 6'2" and wearing about a 2"heel so she and i were the same height at 6'4" in my ballet flats.

But a man came across a parking lot jsut to chat with me - I am also extremely overweight but I was smiling and taking pictures and having a wonderful time and he could sense that i would be fun to talk to - not that i was transgendered - we worry way too much, accept yourself and others will too.

Love ya,

Sally

I'll take about 3 inches off you! but only to my height

I'm 5'4 and feel short

Minimum requirement for modeling is actually 5'9 so maybe I will need 1.5-2 inches more

My sister ucousin and my exwife are both 6'1" and they dont get accused of being transsexuals. I am 6' and my height is not an issue except I prefer men taller than me. When I wear heels I am your height. Just stay away from stilletoes until your more comfortable with your height.

Hi Chelsy,
