On an earlier post I mentioned that I prefer heels under 3″. This inspired a flurry of comments, and I know that many ladies in the crossdressing community prefer to reach higher heights. As I venture out more dressed as Vanessa I’ve begun to place a higher premium on comfort (of which my wife is considerably proud), something I find that starts getting sacrificed when the heel crests over 2″. I’m also a tall crossdresser, and higher heels make me look like a somewhat unfit WNBA player.
Are You A Tall Crossdresser?
The average female is 5’7″, and the average male is 5’9″. While there are many woman over 6″ – and I’m sure almost all of them are either sports stars or super models – statistics place only 1 in 1000 woman over the 6″ mark. For this week’s crossdressing poll I’d love to know how tall you are without your heels. Is your height an asset when passing as a woman, or do you long legs make you wonder if you should try out for America’s Next Top Model?

Last Week’s Crossdressing Poll – We Are Thankful for Crossdressing
Thanksgiving is behind us and the festive season is upon us, and I must admit that as much as I love Thanksgiving I love the fact that it’s the gateway to Christmas almost as much 
. In last week’s poll I asked you, ‘Are you thankful for being a crossdresser?’ And if you are, what in particular are you thankful for? I was pleasantly surprised that almost all of you were thankful for some aspect of crossdressing – just 7% of you thought that crossdressing is just terrible, and there’s nothing to be thankful for. Truly we as a community are blessed to be at a point where the positives of our situation outshine the challenges and heartache.
We also appreciate different blessing of crossdressing. Whether it’s the beauty and makeup, or the understanding it brings, or who we’ve become on this journey. Thank you ladies for sharing the blessings – if you ever need a pick-me-up read through the stories of gratitude that others shared. Reading your comments brought a smile to my face, and helped me shake off any weariness from my transgender journey so far.
I dress to feel pretty. I feel so comfortable in boy’s drab or dressed. The difference is I take so long to shop and to prepare. I love shopping for my outfits in total glee. Totally focus on the fun of it all. Guy clothes have never excited me although I do like to look good and dress in a mirrored classic fasion to Molly. I am mostly at one and not separated by what I’m wearing. Oh I have fun being girlish that I can’t be totally when in boy’s drab but the difference is subtle.
I wasn’t always 6’6″ and felt self conscience fot he longest time as I grew up. My love of dressing and being in the world I love which includes all of me. I am genderqueer and really don’t feel like a cross dresser of any of the other initials we all have. I respect the need for them when anyone needs them, I just found being genderqueer fits who I am.
When I meet people I don’t expect them to see a very tall person. It happens no matter how I’m dressed. “You’re Tall” is the most frequent remark I get. I mostly answer: “and you’re not”.
It’s just me. I have fun with who I am. It took time. Wasn’t always the case. It took work to accept me. And when I did, I liked who I found myself to be.
BTW I’ve met a lot of tall girls and so many of them feel similar to me. Joining groups, going out to dinner, to theatre, walks, shopping all lead to discovering yourself. Without it it’s a separation of yourself. I don’t reveal myself to everybody in the world but I have tons of friends of both genders who like me no matter how I’m dressed. Friends like to have fun too.
The faster we all get off the pity potty and get to accepting who we are as a gift and not a “what if” game, the more our life will mean to ourselves and others.
