Hey, wherever the inspiration comes from, it's great that you have the confidence to do that. Short trans bros unite!

Whatever gives you confidence, OP. Rock on with your awesome self.~

I once knew an Army Sgt. who was like, barely five feet tall. He was one tough mofo.

Walk like a giant and remember the words of Courage Wolf. You'll be fine.

I have watched my brother's transition - he is only 5ft and far from a badass but he is VERY MUCH a passing male. It's not an easy process and I admire the hell out of your decision to go this route. It's expensive, hard, and not for everyone. And you're very brave, I know this... er, secondhand? Watching it is NOT the same as experiencing of course, but... *hugs* Sorry I just mean to say your inspiration is nothing to be ashamed of. And I wanted to say I know at least one very short transitioned manly man. I, a total stranger, am proud of you. Good luck. :)

This comment made me smile :) Good luck, OP!

Congrats to your brother, and thank you so much, that really means a lot.

This whole thread has been very encouraging. You guys are sweet.

It's not like Levi is manly. Manly is Reiner or Erwin.

Exactly. Personally I don't understand how people think Levi is hot. He's not particularly good-looking or interesting.

I'd say Levi is manly. They do kind of pretty him up for the anime, but he's certainly not feminine. (And there's nothing wrong with feminine men too, of course, I must add)

How do you define manly? Levi's manly to me.

Yeah, Levi not seeming manly is entirely the fault of the anime.
They tried to pretty him up to appeal to the fujioushi.

He's still short in the manga but obviously more muscular.

I guess I'm thinking of manly in terms of attitude and how others perceive him. Characters like Erwin and Reiner are unreachable ideals for me, but Levi proved that people could still see me as a guy, even though I'm not that masculine. Fandom makes fun of him for being short, but I've never seen anyone call him girly, even though he has kind of a delicate/feminine look in the anime, which is the other issue with my appearance.

Levi isn't one of my favorite characters from the series but I really like this secret.

That's great that a character can make you feel better/happier. No shame in that. :)

I'm 5.6 and have never fallen in love with a guy taller than myself. I say flaunt it, sexy!

Levi isn't THAT short, he's about 160cm? 165 is the median for men is I recall correctly ;) . Don't worry, I'm shorter than Edward from FMA (motherfucker grew tall later on - THE BETRAYAL!) and he was about 150cm.

Two of the dudes I've had major crushes on have been short-by-dude-standards. The current one is my height exactly, and the other was shorter than me. =) Maybe be prepared for the odd short joke, but short dudes are hot.

The characters in show don't make fun of his height.

And well fans, fans make jokes out of everything. Especially the little things that don't really matter.

You go, OP! Short people unite!

If it helps, most of the guys in on my Dad's side of the family are under 5'4". We're all just... really, really short. A big group of short Italian spitfires. So family pride requires me to say I'm glad you're no longer going to let height stop you from being a man!

That's not stupid at all, anon :) Levi might be short but people respect him. And being manly doesn't have anything to do with height. It's more about self-confidence.

Also, you should definitely check out "Lovely Complex" (either the manga, anime or movie). Or "Uta no Prince-sama", where the shortest, cutest-looking guy of the bunch is described as the "manliest of them all" because of the way he acts.

Hey, it could be worse. My short guy inspiration is fucking Bono. Good luck on your transition!

Don't worry. . . Martin Freeman from World's End is my transpiration :)

My husband's only 5'5" and I consider him pretty manly. So don't lose hope,OP!
