I'm just at the airport on my way home from Christmas with family and I went to a kiosk to buy a pastry.
There was this tall middle aged man trying to get the seller's number and pushing his phone to her. Her colleague was telling him "no, she said she doesn't want to"
And he was still pushing
So my girly ass crossed my arms and said "She said no, respect her no and leave her alone."
And he hung his head and ran off with "okay sorry"
Seller lady thanked me. Ngl it felt good to send a man head taller than me away with his tail between his legs just with some words and a judgemental look.
Sheesh, take the L and don't embarrass yourself dude
When I was 17 I worked at a kiosk at my local mall. Never got hit on more, it was extremely annoying. I completely stopped getting hit on by my early 20s. So many men are creeps.
Dude I can relate to this, I always got a ridiculous amount of catcalling when I was literally 10-18 years old. It stopped after that, not because of any drastic appearance changes OTHER THAN THE FACT I DIDNT LOOK 12 ANYMORE. I still have a baby face but you can tell I’m an adult. I’m disgusted that I got so much male attention and hit on so much more as a kid than an adult. I had a baby face as a kid and always looked younger than I actually was which makes this WAY worse. Because at 12 I looked 10, at 15 I looked 12 and at 18 I looked 15. I didn’t even get hips till 22 and even at 22 I looked 17 at most. Some men are disgusting predators and they were very much not ashamed to make me feel uncomfortable when they would approach me, hit on me, cat call me. Some of them relished in my discomfort and found my shy avoidance as cute and funny entertainment.. awful.
She was actually in her 30s maybe 40s and he in his maybe 50s so at least that element is out of the equation. But it doesn't really make it much less icky ☹️
I pass just fine at my height (5’8”) and meet tons of women same height as me. I live with 3 other trans girls and they’re all taller than me at over 6 feet tall and they always tease me and give me shit for being short. If you’re my height you really have nothing to worry about because even though it’s tall-ish it’s not remarkably tall and people won’t even think about it.
As fun as it might be to be very petite, remember that the world isn’t made for people who are 4’ 10” and you wouldn’t be able to reach shit. Practically, it would be so fucking annoying. I love driving my Vespa, for example, and if I was much shorter it wouldn’t be the right height for me. I still need to be on my tiptoes to reach the ground on both sides. Much of the world is made for the average male height, and we are slightly shorter than that, so there are still things I struggle to reach despite being tall for a woman. Even when other women ask me to reach things they can’t I still need to use my tippy toes.
Ignoring gender, we are like, the average height for humans. It’s not a bad spot to be.

And I bet she was half his age, ugh.

I was thinking "that's pretty average height" until I noticed the sub name.
For any not familiar with the metric system and just want a quick conversion it’s a hair shy of 5’9”
Thank you for your service
Thank you!
I'm above average for a woman but he was more than a head taller than me so I think it counts as me being short compared to him 😅
I’m very close to you at 172cm. We are in an interesting spot where we’re certainly tall for women but still shorter than most men statistically.
Coming right behind at 171cm.
Shorter than most men here, but slightly taller than average for women. I do meet many women taller than me as well though.
It's always nice to remind myself that women at my height do exist, but dysphoria still demands that I be 4' 10"
Oh well 🤷♀️ brain can shush
If it helps my stepmom is 185cm tall and she's the baddest Bitch on the Block
Kinda does =P my mom is also badass but she little

Oh I'm fully aware. Like I said, dysphoria says I need to be 4' 10", and dysphoria is not rational.
Yeah I gotchu I was just trying to affirm that and maybe help get that dysphoria voice a little quieter.
Appreciate you ❤️
May I chime in and say I hate that cars are made for men? I always smash my knees or chest into the steering wheel.

Yaaaasss the sisterhood stands stronk!!!!!
Gods that story is... icky. And then they wonder why girls give out fake numbers.
Back when I was single I had the local Far West taxi phone number memorized. I used to give that out.
You dropped this 👑
Finally someone who uses this meme template right 🙏
keep up the good work
