For All Of The Tall Girls

[Guest Naomi Stardust]

What in the world am i gunna do ???????? im 6'5!!!! how will i ever pass??????

you will pass by being confident and having female body language

and when in heels, by being aware of the hight of door frames!

(i stole that one from Sally)

remember there are natal women out there taller than you

and no one questions their womanhood

you just need to have confidence in being a woman

the rest will follow (though it will need some practice)

At 6'4" I had that same fear, but I talked to a transwoman on the phone one time and she told me not to worry because she was 6'3" and had no trouble passing, but then she did go out with her daughter who was 6'6"!

In the list of tall girls there was one that needed to be in there.

Her name is Rebecca Lobo and she was an All American center at UConn (I think) and now plays in the WNBA- 6'11" and kind of cute too!

Love ya,

Sally

A second response from me on this topic

Well - I don't know - I guess you just WILL - ha!

I was 6'3" but somehow I am now 6'2". I guess I shrank. I weighed up to 236 - and as I am medium framed that was a real problem. I was able to get down and stay at 228-226 and I did well, when presenting male. But I develped diabetes II and my Dr wanted me at 198. I just couldn't get there for a long time, and would get to 218 then go up - then go down - you know the routine. Well... I got advised I am transsexual - my therapist and I worked that out in October 2008. I wanted to transition, it made perfect sense, so I decided that being 6'2" was a problem I would work around.

'How will I ever pass?" I asked her. She has worked with over 100 transgendered people, and is an expert here in New Orleans. I told her I never considered transitioning before because of my height. You know what she said?

"You will be an attractive woman, big maybe, but you will pass."

She also told me a lot of the people she worked with had problems passing, but mainly because of extreme masculine facial features. She says height is hardly ever a factor.

So I determined I would just be a tall woman. I also said I REFUSED to be a woman over 200 pounds, but that is just me.

I reached 198 pounds on Christmas day, God's present to me.

When I went on HRT - I paniced. My weight would not go down no matter wnat I did - I was staying at 194 but I could NOT get lower! Well, I realized that I had the phenominem of losing male fat but gaining female water retention. My 'spare tire' left, which was my real goal. I now have a waist. I went from 42" to 34 1/2" and now have to open my belt to slide off my jeans. I look like I have hips, as the bone structure doesn't change. And I feel good about myself.

And I can pass now.

I am out full time at home and out at work, but my bosses at both places (I am married) asked me to keep it down for a while. So I am awaiting the HRT to fully kick in, and they know that's coming. But I am a denim girl and don't usually look anything more than a country gal in jeans and denim shirt. I would wear my cowboy boots (I am from Texas) except I avoid heels now, and a nice pair of flats work just fine.

I started looking around here at women. In New Orleans we have some BIG MOMMAS - I fit in fine, even if I am a skinny white girl. As my therapist says: an attractive woman, big maybe, but I pass.

And if I don't? Well, when people stare I just think they aren't accustomed to seeing us tall girls, not that they think I am trans. My post op friend, she's 6'3 and 365 pounds, and passes like a dream (facial surgery), she says she has big breasts and men usuallu get so caught up with her chest, they don't seem to see anything else. Ha - now there is an idea for you! And she wears 4" heels and dates. She says some men are hooked on dating tall women. I don't see how she gets through a door frame without hitting her hair!

So its a wide wide world. You will pass - I mean you want to be a woman right? How do you pass at 6'5"? You just do! Attitude maybe? Do it and let the world marvel at you!

Just some advice.

So there is my story of a 6'2" trans-woman, about half-way there maybe, at least a third way I think. Best wishes to you on your journey.

I'm 6'.0",use to be 6',3". Don't know what happened there but I've met many tall girls that are not models and they look as feminine as any other girl. Now my younger brother is 7'.0". If he was a woman there might be a slight height problem with fitting into dresses and the like.

[Guest Lizzie McTrucker]

apart from having to watch my head on door lintels sometimes.

This is why I never wear heels.

I haven't heard from you in a while but as I recall you are one of our "Amazons", wasn't that what someone called you as you were walking across a truck stop parking lot?

Good to have you back!

Love ya,

[Guest krisspykriss]

I am 5'11" and my man is 5'6". I still feel feminine when we are together inspite of my height. I just tend to walk a bit fast for him.

close. on the CB radio

but now that's a fun name this guy I'm kinda interested in but he's not really interested or I don't think he is and he talks about his ex all the time which is really annoying..calls me. (*whew!*)

yes, I'm 6'5". Do I pass? Yup. Is it the stunning good looks? Not likely. is it the feminine charm and soft persona? not likely. is it the attitude of, "yeah I'm tall but I'm looking the part and acting the part so you better treat me like any other woman, mister!" ? yeah that's most likely it.

...and because I don't wear heels.

except in the bedroom but let's not go there.

[Guest CharliTo]

I'll just throw this out here to increase some confidence...but...

I always felt attracted to girls taller than I am. (and I'm 5'11'') Especially those that were confident. I always used to tell my friends who likes girls when we are on topic about what kind of girls would be our type and apparently, I'm not the only person.
