Dating men down low

However, I also deal with so many ignorant men who make a huge deal about my height, probably to bury their own insecurity or intimidation.

I think the bigger issue is how comfortable random men are talking to me about my body.

My height isn't a purely aesthetic feature you can comment on candidly, like a coat or a hat.

Meredith: I'm a trans woman who's 5'5", so average height for women in the States and shorter than most trans women I know.

It's hard to ignore something as obvious as height, especially if it makes a person stand out.

As far as dating a woman taller than me, I'm definitely fine with it, but I'm also probably guilty of preemptively thinking I'm "too short" for a woman taller than me and not giving it a proper chance.

When it comes down to it, it's not really even about the height.

That's low-key why I always feel the need to have my hair with a bit of body — to make up for lost ground.
