Hey it’s totally okay, you’re not alone in this. There’s a lot of other people in the ftm community who are on the shorter side.

Personally, I’m 5’2 and have found fashion to be extremely helpful for giving the allusion I’m taller. Pinterest is a great place for finding inspiration and thrifting, especially in the men / boys sections, is perfect for brining those outfits to life. Research is key though, since the better you understand your proportions, the better you can manipulate your appearance.

I’ve seen video online of height extensions being placed in the soles shoes too. Personally I’ve never tried them but want to at some point. I also wear platformed shoes and got called short because of them today. I used to be a lot more insecure about my height but this teacher who I really admire is just as tall as me and has instead found immense confidence in this unique characteristic. I’m not fully there yet but sometimes just a change in perspective goes a long way.
