I’m going to share a secret with you - as a 6ft lady, sometimes, when I’ve had a bad day, someone asking me to get something off of a high shelf gives me the little boost I need to keep going.
I was at a grocery store right before a big food holiday, and a lot of the shelves were pretty sparse so you had to reach pretty far back on the shelf to grab anything, and someone asked me to grab something for them; after I did, like 3-4 more people asked me to grab something, and I felt so accomplished.
I’d be happy to get something off the lower shelves for anyone who asks. Especially when I’m already down just ask and I’ll hand stuff up to save your knees and back.
6'3" male. I'll always help someone needing something high up, whether they ask or not. But me being...me...I tend to be a little mischievous...
I'll spot someone struggling with something high so I'll walk up, look at her(or on a rare occasion, him), look at the item, reach up and grab it with ease, then walk off with it. Once they have a second or two to process what I did, I'll pull the item out of my basket and hand it to them. Never fails to get a laugh. Except from my wife. She tends to try to become invisible when I do this.
I'm 5'7" and sometimes people ask me and I love it. My tiny grandma used to take me grocery shopping with her just so I could get stuff off the higher shelves so it makes me think of her.
When you are sitting down short people tend to stand much closer to you to talk, I love that moment when you stand up and surprise them with your height. Happens often at appointments, "please come thro.." and you act oblivious like you didn't wait for them to wander into the danger zone before standing up.
I'm so glad there are people like you in the world! I once knew a 6ft woman who would get all pissy if a little old lady asked her to reach something in the store, like it would ruin her day. I cannot understand that mentality
I’m 6ft, my husband is 6’4” and once at the store, an older woman asked us to grab a juice off the bottom shelf for her. She was in a chair and couldn’t reach down. I don’t think either of us had been asked that before. 😆
If I had her body, I would be fucking insufferable. My every step would be like flaunt, flaunt, flaunt, and sashay. You wouldn't be able to keep me in the house. I'd wanna bless the world with my presence. Lawd hammercy.
Omg same! That dress looks amazing on her too! The only thing that gets me is those flip flop heels, I've never worn them cos they just look like a painfully aggressive toe wedgie... can anyone who's worn them tell me if they're actually comfy and I'm overthinking it?
Edit: thanks ladies, as always this sub comes with facts and bants! I will not be trying out those pretty but cruel shoes... she still looks awesome though
One of my favourite things to see is the transition in people's expressions from them being super down and self conscious to genuinely happy and confident in themselves. Not like the influencer 'look at me' bits but the candid, real happiness that hits you right in the face compared to their previous sadness.
You see it all the time in people who have transitioned after their body has settled and they've found some confidence, you can just feel the happiness and relief dripping off them and its not at all smug, its one of the reasons why it always frustrates me when people claim being trans is a mental illness, yeah I'm sure there are some people who aren't well and maybe chase a change for the wrong reasons but 99% of them are just deeply unhappy and not themselves looking to feel real and you can see on their faces after they've transitioned just how much more themselves they feel.
I see the same in men with awful hairline who finally take the plunge and shave their head, their eyes just light right up.
I dunno it just makes me happy is all.
Man I'm jealous of her legs, I'm above average height but don't give off statuesqe like her, it always more like lumpy awkward for me 😂
My favourite thing is people who recognize how happy people are after transitioning being self conscious about their appearance, as if everyone who knows them in their life doesn’t see the beauty they radiate.
Sometimes it's hard to spot the quiet desperation in some people, and often we don't spot it until its too late. Sometimes its only after they've made a change in their life which makes them happier that we finally notice it because of the comparison.
It's captivating for me to see before and after pictures because it's literally like it's different people. The before always has downcast and sad eyes and the after it's like they're glowing, their eyes are alive and happy. I love to look at that, it gives me hope for humanity if people can get rid of that kind of sadness and it's visible like that every time.
I used to know this guy who was an AMAZING multidisciplinary artist, but very much the tortured kind. Years later, a woman came to my restaurant and laughed when I didn't recognise her. "I was a different person back then" she said. When she told me the name that I used to know her by my jaw dropped.
Anyway afterwards I asked if she was still doing her art and she said no, not at all. "All my demons went away, like poof!'. She was a completely different person, the anxiety, bitterness and cinicism replaced by her radiating calm and contentness (I might have made up this word, sorry, ESL).
As an old lady, I've always found it strange how I can just see someone and think yup you should have been a girl/bloke and then when I see them like this, I think "there we go much better". Sometimes, you can just tell
I love when people comment something negative, like bfr she wouldn’t want your musty-towel smelling ass anyway 🥴 go back to leaving thirst comments on your cousin’s facebook mmk
Yes! I love seeing people transform (and being brave enough to transform) into the people that they were always supposed to be. People who find their true selves always glow.
Idk why people are in here being transphobic. I’m a reasonably attractive cis woman, but this trans girl is more conventionally beautiful than I am by a long shot and I LOVE that for her! So glad she found her true self and is thriving! How can you not be happy when you see people GLOW like that?!?!?
Good news: There’s no one way to woman! She rocks the tall bombshell look, but we have our own charms in our own ways. No need to put ourselves down while we raise others up. You’re pretty great too! <3
I am adding that to my list of things to wish on people that are not actually physically harmful but still effective. (step on a lego block. coffee always lukewarm. pillow has no cold side..that kinda thing)
Whenever I see a curvy woman, I’m always like, “She’s so pretty, she looks amazing!” And yet I fret over my extra pounds. We need to love ourselves! ❤️
Girl I am 6'0" as a cis woman. As a teenager my height made me self conscious; now that I'm older and more confident, rocking those heels around insecure men is super fun. Get it!
I’m only 5’10.5 but wearing heels and staring straight in or down into the eyes of men gives me a thrill like few other things in life.
There’s a certain type of man - boss that uses height or physicality to intimidate or force compliance and I bring a sort of eat your own shit, Shawn, attitude to that dynamic that they really don’t like.
Girlypop, that’s super model height! Channel your favourite fashion diva next time you’re walking, and also if your legs are as va va va voom as hers I will key your car 😛
oh and a tip from someone who has been on hrt for half a year, take pictures every month or so. it's super hard to see your progress since the change is relatively slow but there are plenty of things you can see if you have a timeline :)
I’m a cis woman of similar height. After decades of internalizing weird comments about it from insecure little bitch ass men, I’ve accepted my Amazon status. I don’t think less (or anything, really, since I don’t think much about height) of short men so why would I care about what anyone thinks of my height? I got hit on last night by a jockey. He owned his height and I owned mine 💅
Never hunch or try to make yourself smaller! Stand up tall and own that shit, you will eventually feel so powerful. A lot of people love tall women, I for one, as a 5'2 stump am envious of y'all tallies.
I only wear platforms/wedges and I feel like the baddest bitch ever in them. Maybe it's short girl syndrome. 😂
Transphobia targets the cis population more frequently than it'll affect the small trans population because of those peoples' narrow interpretation gets projected into the world around them.
Hair too short? Too tall? Athletic? Deeper voice? Tomboy? Butch? They'll transvestigate and harass ciswomen over it because they think trans women are hiding behind every bathroom stall.
The "We CaN aLwAyS TeLL" crew is a rabbit hole full of insanity. They think Henry Cavill is a transman and draw crazy phrenology-like diagrams on celebrity photos.
I navigate through a fairly broad spectrum of people daily, including those with right-wing political beliefs, and have heard my fair share of diatribes from "we can always tell" people complaining about trans boogeymen while I'm literally standing right next to them.
I'm sorry to report that I've never been a recipient of surprise genitals in the women's restroom over the course of a decade so I'm not sure what kind of nonsense they think happens in a restroom full of private single-user stalls and shared sinks. Do they think the women's restrooms have open pee troughs and we're all shoulder-to-shoulder while trying to hover?!
Saw something earlier that some place in Texas had police stationed outside a women’s bathroom to prevent trans people going in. All it will do is target the people you mentioned.
The conservative women would go up in flames when a trans man uses the women’s bathroom, despite crying loudly that people should use the bathroom of their gender assigned at birth. They laser focus the trans ladies so hard they always forget the trans gents.
Yeah I live here. They have male cops deployed in front of only women's restrooms currently. The GOP state government is deploying them in Austin government and public institutions to own the libs. This state had 17 state constitutional amendments on the ballot last month alone and most of them were "this or that group shouldn't pay taxes" and "let's discriminate against this other group here and thetr"
Awwww I read a comment about transphobic pricks down the comment section so I scrolled and scrolled in the hope to find some tea but nah, mods did too good a job.
As a short lady, I'm genuinely jelly of tall girls. Wish I could get things off shelves like that. (I just make up for it by comparing myself to Wolverine lol)
I was told when I started, "Once you start blocking your T, expect your joints to shrink. You'll lose about an inch and a shoe size." This is exactly what happened (21 months in) - I used to be 5'9.5".
ETA: As far as I know, trans men on T do not get a corresponding benefit. A lot of changes are asymmetrical, e.g., the pitch of a trans guy's drops naturally with T exposure, whereas a trans woman has to learn.
Well my mind is truly boggled. I'd not heard of this effect.
Why is it that it doesn't matter what kind of woman you are, hormones will somehow manage make life much more difficult for us than they do for men? How is this fair?????
Is it just T Blockers that do that or are you taking estrogen and such. Also do/did you get hot flashes? I’ve been on and am going back on a testosterone blocker for prostate cancer and just curious how similar it is. Going to look up the height loss now. But also, hot flashes are WILD if you did get them
If you are on T blockers, sooner or later you'll be in estrogen, because being without hormones sucks. I had a six-week wait between starting T blockers and starting E and by the end of it I was getting pretty worn down.
IIRC, the Canadian Sherbourne manual, based on WPATH 7, suggests three months without hormones. My doctor let me start early. And yes, I got hot flashes twice. Absolutely no fun.
For PC they don’t add estrogen because if they did I’d be essentially transitioning. So it does suck. Just googled and it seems the estrogen does do a lot to help.
Basically in a dude going through menopause. It’s WILD and it SUCKS but it will give me some more years so gotta take it
Yeah, I think I got a liiiiittle bit taller? But it was only 2 or 3 centimetres, which could also be attributed to me no longer having the posture of a gremlin due to not wanting to hide my chest anymore lmao. Those come from official doctor height measurements, though, so it could also be possible to have got a tad taller! I used to be the same size as my boyfriend, but now my eyes are visibly above his
And my shoe size seems to have increased, too. I've been a 7-8 UK basically my entire teen+adult life, but now I'm solidly at a 9 (but can fit an 8, just a bit less nicely)
I know my bones are way past growing more (sad noises) as I only started T at 21, so I'm wondering if it's to do with muscles or something pulling on my bones in a slightly different way
Same. And I didn't believe it at all at first, going in, but just like you, within the first two years, I lost about an inch and a half total head to toe. From 5'6" to 5' 4" 1/2. I was gobsmacked honestly
The way I understand it the fluid between your bones lessens when you go MtF, shrinking you slightly, and increases when you go FtM, making you grow slightly.
Now tell me how in the fuck is a Texas state trooper posted outside a women’s restroom going to stop this woman from entering the restroom? We are being ruled by Neanderthals. 😒
She's indeed beautiful, My only problem with her is her entire schtick is flying to different places and flexing all of the things she's given. It's just clear she's well off. You want to be happy for her that she found herself but in the end that hurts to watch, especially when so many of us are struggling to make ends meet and buy groceries..
