    Seeing 5'6" being called short for a woman feels really nice for my height dysphoria so I'm gonna uncritically accept this, no matter what made-up bullshit fake news "Google" might try to tell me.

        I've just conducted a study based on a small but representative sample of 9 women...

        Data:

        • Samus Aran (6'3)

        • Rosalina (7'3")

        • Bayonetta (7'7")

        • Lady Dimitrescu (9'6")

        • That one woman AnarchaPrincess saw a couple weeks ago (6'2")

        • Storm (5'11")

        • Mystique (5'10")

        • Neytiri (Avatar) (8'7")

        • Leela (6')

        ...and I've concluded that the average woman is almost exactly 7' tall.

        Now I know some people might question the validity of this study, given that it hasn't been peer reviewed. That's why I'm asking my peers (which is to say, other transfems) to review this study and report if they find any flaws. Thank you for your cooperation.

        Note

        This is a joke, but just in case anybody needs some real life examples, here's one list.

        Also fun fact I just learned is that both Michelle Obama and Melania Trump are 5'11".

          Well yeah Michell is a Trans woman which is why she is so tall, at least thats what the memes my uncle send me say.

          What the fuck, Rosalina was canonically 7'3"? So what, is Mario like 6' just with really shitty posture?

            Mario is 5'1" according the source I got Rosalina's height from, but the heights are :citations-needed:. I think the 5'1" number comes from a life-sized statue in Japan, but there doesn't seem to be an official statement. Rosalina's height appears to come from someone doing calculations based off how tall she is compared to Mario. The same source puts Peach at 6'1," but that is with heels tbf.

          I've thoroughly checked your notes and can confirm your numbers, although i'm European and have no idea how tall 7' is. I'm mostly just dropping in to inform you that i, as a trans girl still within the height range considered "normal" for cis women, find tall women to be full of grace and beauty. There's a reason the volcel police had to be called in over Lady Dimitrescu and it's that tall women are amazing and chronically underrepresented.

        I'm fairly tall, and I know 2 cis (not that I'd ask or care) women over 6 ft
