They are called transfem feet and transmasc feet. The conversions to Standard Burger Units (sbu) are as follows:
1 foot (transfem) = 1.1 foot (sbu)
1 foot (sbu) = 1.1 foot (transmasc)
If you're a transfem who would be 6' (sbu), you are now 5'5" (tf). If you're transmasc and would be 5'5" (sbu), you are now 6' (tm).
These new units could help marginally with height dysphoria, and the only tradeoff is being extremely confusing.
Thank you and you're welcome.
and the only tradeoff is being extremely confusing.
Not even a tradeoff, it's already confusing if we're using feet and inches.
i don't think i could tell someone with a straight face that i'm 4'12"
fun fact: I’m pretty sure I’m closer to 196cm now, thanks to HRT’s effects on my back muscles effectively rearranging my pelvis and spine a bit.
That's a good point I should re-measure myself. But I haven't been on hrt that long so I'm not expecting a big change yet.
so funny story, I'm 183cm tall, which is 6 ft in burger-units, and I've ran into a few AFAB ladies who are taller than me and it always causes this funny tingle in my belly
Consider:
Height (transfemme, second_puberty_positive) = Height (AMAB) - |Average regional male height - average regional female height|
Height (transmaculine, second_puberty_positive) = Height (AFAB) + |Average regional male height - average regional female height|
This has the benefit of keeping relative heights. If you tall you're still tall.
