Cool, thanks--

I wouldn't worry too much - it takes a HUGE amount for that to happen - the amount that body builders use. The primary sign is breast formation and men and testicular shrinkage. That said, you would either have to have liver disease so you can't metabolize it, or be taking huge, non-prescribed doses.

My g/f is 5'9" and I'm 5'1". Just a matter of finding one who appreciates a taller, leggier woman.

I noticed the height thing even before I transitioned. Some butches have the same "dilema." For me, the more comfortable I became with myself, the less I was threatened by a woman's height. I love to see a woman in heels and if I wanted to date women I was attracted to, I needed to get over it.

My girlfriend is taller then me by a couple of inches.

Tall + femme = Not good

<~ 5'10" tall here so....why is that not good for you??

Here's some food for thought: http://blogs.montrealgazette.com/201...es-apocalypse/

Oddly enough I was thinking about this when I watched this week's episode: what would I do if there was a zombie apocalypse (or similar)? Would I have to break into every pharmacy, steal all the T I can and lug it around, protecting it (and necessary needles)? A hysto would allow for a stretched out usage and certainly natural methods could help but..

Because most MTF/ Butch want to be the taller person in the relationship ...

Well, I'm sure you're saying this from experience—but I find it hard to accept as a generalization.

If it's true, then I'd think that was sad, that such a sexist value was being adopted and applied to pollute a new paradigm—because it denigrates the beauty of tall femmes. My sisters.

Thank YOU!

5' 9" here and I tell any interested party pretty quickly that I am this tall...my height has never deterred the butches and guys of only the best kind...

People may have a preference and so be it--one cannot force physical attraction be it height, body shape etc. If that's the case, ok, no harm done.

Not to mention, it can work the OTHER way around. There may be taller femmes who just aren't attracted to guys who are under a certain height as well. It's possible.

Maybe i have just ran into the wrong ones so far

Hang in there. Someone who accepts your strengths, your weaknesses; your past, your present; your uniqueness and your ordinariness will have no problem accepting your height. And loving it.

I consider myself lucky. I have had some great relationships with fabulous butches and transguys. Or maybe it isn't luck. There is some skill, perceptiveness and time (experience too) involved in finding partners who enrich one's life no matter how long the relationship.

/ends derail!

Thanks for the correction. I was wondering about that, though there are some MTF Butches about. I was thinking, though, that you were probably referring to FTMs.

Yeah, I assumed that too.

Has anyone used the Care Credit card to help pay for their surgery/s? and if so, did you have poor, good, great credit when applying? and if you care to share more information, that would be most excellent. Thanks.

I didn't use Care Credit for surgery, we've mainly used it for dental work, and also once for veterinary care for one of our pups. But we didn't have great credit when we applied for it - we had good credit. I've heard of a lot of people getting approved that had some past credit issues. I'd say give it a try! Good luck!

Nah, I don't think so at all
I've known several FTMs and Butches that weren't the taller in the relationship. And someone who didn't want to be with you based on your height, probably isn't someone you want to be with anyway - that would be pretty shallow IMHO!
