Seeing all the cis guys get taller than me was painful but what can you do yknow. Always gotta remember that there are cis guys my height and even shorter than my 5'2" ass. Short kings rise up 💪
I'm around 5'2 (or maybe 5'3) and i also felt really insecure about my height cuz I'm shorter then literally every guy around me and also most girls. But currently i have a bf who's around 5'4 which makes me feel much better than we're pretty much the same size, similar height, same shoe size, same wrist size and similar hand lize. Not to mention i also know a lot of cis guys who are wayy shorter than me so that makes me feel a bit better. But it's great seeing another trans guy sharing his insecurities, thank you so much Ty, you're really an inspiration!
I'm another asian trans guy just like you, and my height (5'4, but maybe barely 5'5?) used to make me feel miserable as hell. But I still see MANY cis guys who are shorter than me. Being short can be annoying sometimes for some silly reasons, but once you realize it's nothing to worry about, things get much better!!
thanks man! hey btw i was thinking of making a video on how i feel insecure due to asian (actually more of) korean beauty standards because i feel like the only way to look good as an asian dude is to follow korean kpop styles haha, which i dont mind cuz i like it but its a lot of work. is this offensive to you, assuming that your name gives away that you might be korean?
I feel this. I'm at least taller than my older sister (I'm also 5ft6!), but since the average height (for men) in my country is 5ft10, I pretty much always feel short around guys. When I was 7 onwards I told people my biggest future dream was to be 6 foot tall, and I still wish I was, but obviously I have to let go of that at a certain point. I am friends with a couple of guys shorter than me tbf. I hope your height dysphoria eventually dissipates
i must say i always came close to my dream height haha. i'm around 170cm but i wanted to reach 177 sorta. i think no matter what we would have been unsatisfied with our height regardless of where we are right now. the solution is to put our attention elsewhere and improve on other parts of ourselves
I don't wanna invalidate y'all because, of course its normal to feel this way when you're 5'6 and 5'4, but damn... I'm 5'1 y'all ToT (also, thanks for making this video man, it weirdly makes me feel better about myself knowing that someone else has thought the exact same thing as me)
@@disneytoysr4fun975 dude, its not about him being taller than me, it’s about dysphoria making small details seem more important than they actually are. If he was born a guy then 5’6 might seem like an okay height but since he was afab, being short just adds on to the list of feminine things about oneself that makes one feel insecure. I hope my comment was clear lol
Your feelings and anguish are valid. While I have never experienced dysphoria, I have struggled, and still do, with the way I view my body and self. From my experience, I’ve learned that it’s okay if you don’t accept every part of your body as long as you come to terms with it as a whole over time, if that makes sense. And I agree, beauty standards, in respect to any gender, are often excessive, unrealistic, and harmful. It took me a while to start deconstructing them in my mind. Ultimately, I hope your height dysphoria will become more manageable with time, and that you will find internal peace. Take care, man
Hey Ty! Thanks for being so open with us! I've always had height dysphoria too and I understand how you feel and proud you are working on what you can by going to the gym! Dysphoria is an ever present thing but it gets better. Love the topic videos keep them up!
i really wish i could go on T rn.. like i wanna go through the teenage guy experience?? it’s hard to explain but i always get so much dysphoria at school because there’s some kind of separation between the guys and girls and just watching the guys from afar hurts 😭 in terms of height it’s really hopeless for me too. not because of my biological gender but because of genetics 💀 idk if this would make anyone feel better but my dad is 171cm (around 5 foot 5 or 6 i think) and he might be shorter but he’s still pretty masculine. sometimes it’s not about what your physical features are maybe? instead it’s how you present urself or something
@@crowmagpie i get that but what i meant is that even if you identify as a man and you don’t take testosterone you don’t really look like the socially expected version of a man? well maybe that’s just for me because i have quite a feminine face/body. and in school or my school at least it’s just a bunch of judgemental teenagers so even if i just identify as a guy i wouldn’t be treated as one 😭
@@beancurd2250 what does "identifying as a man" even mean though? A man is just a male person, transmen are women who want to look male.. they aren't actually men.. Why do you think there's zero transmen winning male sports but countless trans women not only winning female sports but BREAKING WORLD RECORDS... "Transitioning" is just cosmetic it doesn't actually change a person's sex
@@crowmagpie well sex (biological gender is based on ur organs down there) and gender are two different things? gender is a social construct and ur sex is based on ur biology !! sorry my english isn’t that good 😨 and some people just don’t feel right in their own body (like me) which is really hard cus it’s a super weird and confusing feeling that people who aren’t trans might not understand so ig thats how u feel? it’s pretty clear that you have a different opinion or ur taught about gender in a different way or maybe it’s ur religion so i don’t really wanna argue with you 😭 i thought u were asking a genuine question at first so i’m sorry 😱😱😱 TLDR: gender and sex different😱 u clearly have different opinion/ ur educated differently on this?? idk what ur doing here & i don’t wanna argue with u👁️👁️👍
hey! just wanna say that it's totally fine being at any height. height dysphoria is always there and we need to focus on leveling ourselves up in different areas.

thank you! i'm not really sure what people mean when they say i'm an inspiration..what parts of me inspire people , if i may ask?

Not at all! You are right that I'm korean😂 But I don't know much about k-pop stuff, especially what people outside korea think about it.

i think its ok to invalidate him. Even regular guys are 5'6 and not really seen as a freak show.
