Tall + femme = Not good ;)

Why does that = not good?
 

<~ 5'10" tall here so....why is that not good for you??

Here's some food for thought: http://blogs.montrealgazette.com/201...es-apocalypse/

Oddly enough I was thinking about this when I watched this week's episode: what would I do if there was a zombie apocalypse (or similar)? Would I have to break into every pharmacy, steal all the T I can and lug it around, protecting it (and necessary needles)? A hysto would allow for a stretched out usage and certainly natural methods could help but..

Because most MTF/ Butch want to be the taller person in the relationship ...

Well, I'm sure you're saying this from experience—but I find it hard to accept as a generalization.

If it's true, then I'd think that was sad, that such a sexist value was being adopted and applied to pollute a new paradigm—because it denigrates the beauty of tall femmes. My sisters.

Thank YOU!

5' 9" here and I tell any interested party pretty quickly that I am this tall...my height has never deterred the butches and guys of only the best kind...

People may have a preference and so be it--one cannot force physical attraction be it height, body shape etc. If that's the case, ok, no harm done.

Not to mention, it can work the OTHER way around. There may be taller femmes who just aren't attracted to guys who are under a certain height as well. It's possible.

Maybe i have just ran into the wrong ones so far :tea:

Hang in there. Someone who accepts your strengths, your weaknesses; your past, your present; your uniqueness and your ordinariness will have no problem accepting your height. And loving it.

I consider myself lucky. I have had some great relationships with fabulous butches and transguys. Or maybe it isn't luck. There is some skill, perceptiveness and time (experience too) involved in finding partners who enrich one's life no matter how long the relationship.

/ends derail!

Correction FTM :)

Thanks for the correction. I was wondering about that, though there are some MTF Butches about. I was thinking, though, that you were probably referring to FTMs.

Yeah, I assumed that too.

Has anyone used the Care Credit card to help pay for their surgery/s? and if so, did you have poor, good, great credit when applying? and if you care to share more information, that would be most excellent. Thanks.

Considering i am almost legally a midget...well, as one of my exes
would fondly and affectionately remind me that i am short in stature (that i would be a midget
if i were so many inches shorter..forget how many) when i would forget...(i do that often)
i could say that most women would want a taller man... but, i don't
know if that is true. I just don't know.
If a woman doesn't want a short dude....
then it ain't me babe...no, no, no...it ain't me your lookin' for babe....

To each his own PurpleQuestions...and i bet you are just perfect for
someone out there. If the butch or FTM has an issue with your height...
then, that is their issue...not yours. Hopefully, they will just be honest
and upfront with you that they can't deal with your height,
and you will not have to suffer.

Totally agree with you Soon. I do the same. I have a similar perspective, sentiment and attitude about it. It is just another way of finding out quicky whether or not two people are compatible. Honesty is the best policy.


Yep!

I used it. My credit is ok and it covered pretty much all of what I didn't already have in cash. They gave me a $10K LoC but I only needed to use about $5K. I had used $3K at one point for vet bills. It was one of those cards I paid off immediately because after a period of time the interest on it does shoot up but it was good for getting this done. I may consider using it for doing a metio and hysto once I have another $4-5K set aside for that.

I used part of what was left of my 401k after a damn stock market crash in 2001.
I have never heard of the Care card. But, i must say, i don't think it could hurt
so much to try. If the card can be an avenue to lead you toward the opportunity to have surgery...then Do It.
Lack of coverage is one of the issues that really bugs and digs at me for
trans people...It should be covered by healthcare. Healthcare should be a right for everyone.
I still went to my company to cover all of the bases and apply...knowing i probably wouldn't get covered...because i knew there would be people coming after me. I wanted it logged into the system at BlueCrossBlueSheild..that i existed, applied and was denied. That way...maybe the next one that came along could get it. etc...You know?

I think you should give it a shot. And good luck Ahk

Not trans here but I'm using Care Credit.

I applied and got accepted for $7200, 2 years no interest. Be careful. The interest can be very high. The statement will give you a minimum that is NOT the minimum for the promotion of no interest. If you pay that and not the amount you need to for no interest you will be charged interest (26%, I believe). Also, if you miss a payment you will be charged all the back interest. It's different than a credit card.
