I live in New York too, if that means anything. I never tried to state what I said as statistical fact. I don't get around much and what I said seems to be true at least for the high school I went to. I understand it probably isn't fact.

Also, I'm a transgender female, so for a long time I did suffer from rejection because a lot of it was out of my control. I'm 19, turning 20 soon and I didn't even get to be with anyone until I was 17. I don't know if that's worse of a card to be dealt than being short - but for me, being as tall as I am is a detriment. Because every day I fear that it could get me killed if the right person puts the pieces together, even though I look pretty much biologically female. Hell, as a transwoman, it's much worse to be short. And anything I do would be considered a stereotype. If I looked like a dude, had green hair and piercings - that's a stereotype. If I look the way I do now, passably female, and I was single, then I would be seen as 'tricking men' and therefore be a stereotype.

I'll never understand how short people feel because I never was one. But in some ways being this tall really sucks because it very well could impair my ability to pass in some places, even if I look entirely female. If I didn't look the way I do I likely wouldn't be able to get a job at all. I'm pretty sure between my straight guy crushes and your girl crushes, you'd have a likelier time finding someone willing to date you all considered. I'm very lucky I have the boyfriend I do at all.
