I am approximately 3/16 standard schoolbus length tall
and the only tradeoff is being extremely confusing.
Not even a tradeoff, it's already confusing if we're using feet and inches.
Just use Baker's feet. 13 inches.
i don't think i could tell someone with a straight face that i'm 4'12"
That does sound very funny.
Switch to metric and the 6 foot stuff will be dead in a generation
Nah 190cm will be the new meta.
cries in 2m transfem
respectfully admires in 1.95cm transfem
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.
I wonder if 160cm (and below) will be the new meta actually, as climate change intensifies
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 
can I use the transmasc units for my self if I'm transfem
Nothing stopping you!
hell yeah i'm like 7 feet now get fucked idiots
Slay queen 
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.
The transfemme height don't work. There is no positive term.
height is the positive term I think
Oh hell yeah! Now I'm 5'5"(tm)! I'm so tall!
