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.

      Around here, a culturally-appropriate gender-neutral form of address is either "dear" or "hun".  It tends to be mostly women who use those, though I did have a man address me as "dear" in a store today.    It could be startling for a come-ffrom-away to hear themselves being addressed that way, but, locally, it is considered a friendly, not particularly creepy, gender-neutral way to address someone.

      Welcome, Amanda!! You'll find many of us here who found ourselves late in life - it was at 68 for me. Each of us is unique but we also have similarities and can help each other   I understand the urge to move quickly, but remember that your wife also has to adjust as you transition. That doesn't mean you have to move slowly, just give both of you time to process the changes and the impacts.   Many of us have also benefitted greatly from working with a gender therapist. For me, it was literally life-saving. Just a thought you might want to consider. Mine is done completely on-line.   Again, welcome. Jump in where you feel comfortable.

      Change. I am so -censored- tired of change, and what I've just started in the last month with identifying and working through all of my . . . stuff . . . around gender dysphoria represents a level of change I dread and am terrified of.   2005 to 2019 feel like a pretty stable time period for me. Not a whole lot of change happened within me. I met someone, got married, had three kids with them. Struggled like hell with anxiety and depression but it was . . . ok. And then my spouse died (unexpectedly, brief bout with flu and then gone) and the five years since have been an unrelenting stream of change. I cannot think of a single way in which I, the person writing this from a library table in 2024, am in any way the same person who sat in an ICU room with my dying spouse 5 years ago. I move different, speak different, dress different, think different, have different goals, joys, and ambitions. And they are all **good.** but I am tired of the relentless pace of change and as much as I want and need to figure out my dysphoria and what will relieve the symptoms (am I "just" gender fluid, am I trans masc? no -censored- clue at the moment) I dread it at the same time. I just want to take a five year nap and be done with it.

      Welcome to the Forums Amanda, there are a number of us here who took that long or longer to come to grips with our personal reality.  Join right in and enjoy the company you have.

      I'm Amanda, and after 57 years of pretending to be a male crossdresser, I've recently admitted to myself that I'm a woman. It's pretty wild. I don't think that I've ever had a thought that was as clearly true and right, as when I first allowed myself to wonder, "wait, am I actually trans?"   The hilarious part is that I owe that insight to my urologist, and a minor problem with a pesky body part that genetic women don't come equipped with (no, not that one). I'll spare you the details, but the end result was him talking about a potential medication that has some side effects, notably a 1% chance of causing men to grow breasts. The first thought that bubbled up from the recesses of my mind was, "wow, that would be awesome!"   <<blink>><<blink>> Sorry, what was that again?   That led down a rabbit hole, and a long, honest conversation with myself, followed by a long, honest conversation with my wife. We both needed a couple of weeks, and a bit of crying and yelling, to settle in to this new reality. Her biggest issue? Several years ago, she asked me if I was trans, and I said, "no". That was a lie. And honestly, looking back over my life, a pretty stupid one.   I'm really early in the transition process - I have my first consultation with my doctor next week - but I'm already out to friends and family. I'm struggling with the "do everything now, now now!" demon, because I know that this is not a thing that just happens. It will be happening from now on, and trying to rush won't accomplish anything useful. Still, the struggle is real . I'm being happy with minor victories - my Alexa devices now say, "Good morning, Amanda", and I smile each and every time. My family and friends are being very supportive, after the initial shock wore off.   I'm going to need a lot of help though, which is another new thing for me. Being able to ask for help, that is. I'm looking forward to chatting with some of you who have been at this longer, and also those of you who are as new at this as I am. It's wild, and intoxicating, and terrifying... and I'm looking forward to every second of it.   Amanda Joy

      Rain here. I went to Asheville yesterday, and stayed later to visit some before going down the mountain.  Down here there were a lot of trees down in the northern part of the county.  The power had gone off at the house, but was back by the time I got home (21:00).  There was a thunderstorm during the night.

      I used to get ma'am'ed during my 45 years of boy-mode and it drove me nuts.    Now that I have accepted girl-mode I find it quite pleasant.    Either way, being miss gendered is quite disturbing. I upon a rare occasion might get sir'ed by strangers and it's quite annoying.

      Good morning Ash,    Welcome to TransPulseForums, I have a young neighbor who plays several brass instruments who lives behind my house. He is always practicing and I could listen to them for hours, well I guess I have listened to them for hours, and my favorite is when they play the low tones on the French Horn.    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone,    I had my first cup of coffee this morning with my wife, my second was a 20oz travel mug on the way to the airport. Once clearing TSA, I bought another 20oz to pass the time at the boarding gate. I’m flying Indy to Baltimore, then driving to Wilmington, DE for my last teaching engagement at the DE State Fire School.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
