I just can’t get over the fact that I’m so freakishly tall and there’s nothing I can do about it at all no surgery no nothing. I feel like I stick out like a sore thumb and I feel like a laughing stock. I know tall cis women exist but most of them get accused of being trans anyway so it doesn’t matter. The only saving grace is that my feet are rather small (proportionate to my height) at like a size 12 which is still huge and embarrassing but it could be much worse they could be a size 15. I genuinely don’t know how to even cope with this. I get asked a lot how tall I am and I just take it as “well I guess they clocked me” I can’t even help it. I just feel like everything would have been literally fine if I was even 5’10 it just makes me want to cry I feel like such a freak.

So I live in Indiana which is a very red state and when talking with other trans women about our experiences and they were talking about troubles in the bathroom or rude people in public, I found that I didn’t really have any majorly negative experiences. I’ve been on hormones for 16 months and I’m pretty tall too and I’ve never had an experience of being confronted in public for being trans. I mean when I was a couple months into hormones I would get the occasional dirty looks and back then sometimes I would get misgendered. I feel like I’m just waiting for the day that I get confronted in public for being trans but it just hasn’t happened yet. My city is kind of blue but even outside the city I don’t have any issues, I went to a Christmas market in a rich conservative city in my state and I had no issues even in the busy bathrooms and my partner said that they got all of the dirty looks not me (they are very alternative and have angel fangs which old people don’t like lol). Are people just being polite or do they just not know? I always thought that I was too tall (I’m 6’3 btw) to go unnoticed and not be clocked but I’m not sure.
