Welp, I just learned that I'm taller than 99.7% of cis women

It's okay to feel dysphoric of self-conscious about your height sometimes - being tall as a trans woman is a bit different than when you are a cis woman, though the same principals of self-acceptance still apply.

When you are trans, it's a constant reminder of how your body was effected by your natal puberty. You can't help but think what your body might be like if it hadn't been so dramatically changed by X years of testosterone. Sometimes it will really trigger your dysphoria. Sometimes it will really make you feel unsafe because combined with other effects of your natal puberty it might make you "clockable" as trans. But I promise it does get a little easier over time, the more we strive for self-acceptance and surround ourselves with accepting people.

I've just started accepting that I stand out at 6'2, and that I'm "clockable" whether I'm tall or not. The problem however is that no matter how self-accepting I feel, I still don't feel safe being visibly trans in public. Especially if I need to use the washroom or something.

Sorry for the rambles. If you ever want to chat or vent with a fellow trans gal my DM's are open :)
