i dont think people really understand what its like to be taller than your cis sisters when you are 12 and they are 17 and 18 respectively. or how it feels to be the tallest in the room 90% of the time and i dont even mind my height, i dont call myself a heighthon even. im only 5’11".
can you not have a bit of fucking empathy? height absolutely does matter. you quite literally have 0 idea what its like to feel like a literal giant next to cis women. short people can still have struggles, im not acting like you cant. like ive said, voice and face matter more, but height will get you clocked. for me, it doesnt matter much cause idc about the social shit, but for people who do, that shit matters a fuck ton. like come on.
Yeah, it really matters for day to day as well, most misgenderings of tall cis women or tall passoids happen when the other person just sees a “presence” in their peripheral vision on the street or something.
Under [INSERT HEIGHT] its “excuse me miss” and over [INSERT HEIGHT] its “excuse me sir”… Basically no way to make this not happen other than wearing dresses… And like it doesn’t “matter” since its not a real gendering, but any trans person would naturally hate it
i think i might not be at the right point to understand how my 6’2 height affects me yet. like im so unpassable in my face and voice and presentation that its not a problem atp. i have a feeling once ive improved in those other aspects my height will come to bother me. it might be like only 10% right now for me. but i totally get ppl dooming about height a majority of the time even… it shapes so much of how you interact with the world and being on the extreme is gigaropefuel
i never said it doesn’t matter. i’m saying it’s not the only factor. dooming about height is totally fine.
it is one of the most important, and being a heighthon is a unique suffering unlike every other measurement.
i’m sure it is, not denying that.
sorry, forgive my frustration. You are right. I am just sad and tired.
it’s fine, i understand.
face height and voice are kinda all that really matters from a passing perspective, being really tall is kinda rough
its just insane to me. obviously being taller than 99.99% of women would effect passing and being short is objectively a huge benefit if your goal is to pass
shockingly i generally perceive someone’s height before i perceive their shr or whatever (if i even notice that at all)
how fucked am i if i am 5’11 or 6ft
in range to doom freely, but not necessarily completely screwed imo.
It depends on how the rest of you looks
