Tori hon,

Woman's sizes are approximately 2 sizes larger than mens so an 11 men's = 13 woman's

Generally your shoe size will not change much on hormones, but i have heard of some losing a size, in almost 2 years on hormones i still am at a size 11 woman's shoe, heels you may have to go up a size.

Honey............

Your height is based on your skeleton....

That will not change at all.....

And as Paula says, shoe size may.....

HUGGS!

A great deal of shoe size is also determined by the shape of your foot - the length of your toes, the length of the metatarsal bones.

The ratios of the lengths of the different bones cause a difference in the shape of male and female feet - the change is not drastic but in my case, I have never owned a truly comfortable pair of men's shoes in my life - the 13 seems to be a little better but it rubs the side of my arch very badly - I put on a women's shoe size 13 and it fits - no more arch pain.

Because my foot has a more feminine shape I have been force to wear longer men's sizes and that makes the women's size the same.

Love ya,

Sally

Shoes? You need to try shoes on to see. You foot shape is what determines which woman's size you wear - for example - I wear a 13 men's AND 13 womans.

I can sometimes wear a men's 12 - and I can sometimes wear a woman's 12 D

And the type of shoe and the brand also make a difference. I have on a womaen's 12 W leather Klogs - and a 13 would be too large.

Hope this helps

Is 5'9 to tall?

Not at all........

Lots of women are in that height range....

I really don't think that is a bad height for a woman at all....

Just check out some of the women here...

Many, many over 6'.............

But, they pass beautifully!

HUGGS!

I am a nudge under 6'2" - I don't have any problems passing. There are women taller than I am - it's in the attitude.

Lizzy

See, Tori?

That's what I was telling you.....Lizzy passes beautifully...it's not the height or even the size...

50% of it is your presentation and the other 95% is attitude!.........(?)

Tori, I would love to be 5'9" again but those days slipped away with my youth - I am 6'4" and no one seems to care!

When Lizzy and I first met I was so happy not just to meet her (which was just an amazing thrill) but I also thought that I had shrunk a bit because we were looking at each other eye to eye and I knew she was 2 inches shorter than me!

That part of the thrill went away when I realized that she was wearing a 2" heel and I was wearing my favorite ballet flats.

Th thrill of meeting Donna Jean was accompanied by a question, I was wondering if I had let her get to the top of the stairs when I hugged her - she had but I thought she was at least one step down!

We made things as difficult as possible for passing when we met - the two if us well over 6' and Donna Jean standing between us at 5'7" - no one noticed, we were just three ladies out shopping, having dinner and enjoying the girl's night out.

It is mostly attitude!

5'9" is pretty close to average around here.

Love ya,

Sally

But she can count to 22 if she takes her shoes off!

I'm sorry Dee Jay, that was an old joke but you do have to realize we have a new audience!

Confidence is a major key - if you seem to be worried or looking away all of the time, people will study you much closer - if you are relaxed like the three of us were in Memphis - no one will really try to figure it out - they just see us as we see ourselves.

If you see yourself as a 'man in a dress' then so will they - if you see yourself as a women - then that is what you are.

Love ya,

Sally

Seems strange to me. I wear a 13d in mens shoes, but an 11wide to a 12 in womens. I must have weird feet.

As far as height, barefoot I'm 6'3. When I put on my boots I jump up to 6'6, because I have always worn western boots.

      Good morning! 🤗   Just weighed myself and I dropped a couple of kilos in weight, I'll head to the kitchen and make a nice mug of Jacobs's brand coffee.    I'm back to feeling myself again after my 4 day stay in the hospital over the weekend. 🙂   Only one more day till shopping! 🥳

      Good morning   i need to watch my tlime I open and can’t be late.  I think I figured our my breakfast issue,  a big bowl of honey nut cherioos  works better than two toaster waffles   yesterday’s coffee debacle got better mine was way too weak. Wife made a cup later, way too strong,  now if we just had baby here to get it right.   ok I admit I like Sheldon tv show.  I was planning on going to bed at 8:30 when it was over not realizing it was a double episode. Watched the second too.  I wasn’t expecting that ending.  Glad I didn’t miss it. Sorry there is only one left.     it seems like the writers strike killed a number of my preferred shows. Eithe this season or next fall will end several good shows   well gatta go.  Not even proof reading today.   hugs   willow

      My experience is very similar to yours, Sally.  When I first started to socially transition I thought 'blending in' was the best approach.  It did not work AT ... ALL.  I was misgendered so often. So now I try to feminize as much as my wardrobe (and time) allows.  For 'girls' my age I believe I am far more fashionable than other women.  So, lately I have been much more successful at 'passing'. But also like you, I am not really trying to fool people.  I expect they assume I am Trans and I just hope they respect my femininity and my humanity.

      Actually, they did back at the times of the AIDS pandemic in the 80's.  Some of my slightly older than I am Gay friends were beaten up and thrown out of gender correct restrooms back then.

      I'm not sure the past is a sure guide to future needs.  LGB have no dog in the fight on public restrooms, for example.  That is T only, and only some T at that.

      When I appear on the radio and podcast it will be in discussion with a political scientist who will discuss those aspects. I’m focussed on the implications for kids and why the recommendations are flawed. But yes, I will probably briefly paint the political background.

      GFY, @Betty K. Don't forget to write about the motivations for the Cass Report, and who paid for its conclusions. "Cass Met With DeSantis Pick Over Trans Ban: Her Review Now Targets England Trans Care." — Erin Reed  And now its back to America, 'surprise, surprise.'

      Hi @Sol. Great to hear from you and your updates are all encouraging. Wonderful all the support you're now getting from your family and to hear you sounding so positive and hopeful. Career as an archivist sounds like a great path - sensible and not too specific, but endlessly fascinating at the same time. Not only do museums employ archivists, but so do many other institutions such as historical societies and universities. Your university may have its own archives which you could visit and learn about. Take care & be well!

      Hi @KathyLauren no worries!   I’ve only ever gotten a two-year degree in programming, and that one was just because I existed in the U.S. Air Force as a coder long enough to qualify for all of the technical credits, then I just took CLEP and DANTES tests to get the rest.   Most of my work has been in the security arena, lots of C/C++. Worked as a Red Hat hacker for a few years, and spent a few more years in gov’t spaces.

      Hi, Amanda.  Your story sounds quite familiar, though my pesky body part didn't need the attention of a urologist.  You are in good company here!
