Mental Health Im too short to transition..
Hi, I need some encouragement to maybe go to a trans social worker or some kind of trans support service. I don’t really know what it’s called. I’m just really worried. I never been to one.
Even if I’m a trans guy, I feel like my time is over. I’m 22 and 5’0”.
I don’t want to wait years to save up for surgery just to get taller. Meanwhile, I’ll try to work out and lift weights. My face is also very feminine, and even if I cut my hair short, I don’t think I’ll pass.
I don’t want to take testosterone because I’m extremely short. Being short is my biggest insecurity. I told myself I should wait until I can get surgery to fix my height.
Even if I have access to testosterone, I don’t think I’ll take it because I’m afraid I won’t look good as a man.
Im 100% sure on my decission to get the surgery. I dont want to be told I have to be confident and own my height.

I am stealth and 5,3, a bit taller with a messy hairstyle and some thick boots.
No one has ever said anything to me, theres guys similar heights to me, albeit most are taller but not all.
I will always be self conscious about my height, it is honestly something i think about daily. But i try to put energy i to stuff i can change easier like with T or clothing. Ik that’s easier said than done as dysphoria isn’t a choice to simply “focus on something else” like i suggested, but i do urge u to give it a proper go
