They are called transfem feet and transmasc feet. The conversions to Standard Burger Units (sbu) are as follows:

1 foot (transfem) = 1.1 foot (sbu)

1 foot (sbu) = 1.1 foot (transmasc)

If you're a transfem who would be 6' (sbu), you are now 5'5" (tf). If you're transmasc and would be 5'5" (sbu), you are now 6' (tm).

These new units could help marginally with height dysphoria, and the only tradeoff is being extremely confusing.

Thank you and you're welcome.

Americans will use literally anything except metric units

I am approximately 3/16 standard schoolbus length tall

Not even a tradeoff, it's already confusing if we're using feet and inches.

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

Just use Baker's feet. 13 inches.

i don't think i could tell someone with a straight face that i'm 4'12"

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

That does sound very funny.

[-] HexBroke@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

Switch to metric and the 6 foot stuff will be dead in a generation

Nah 190cm will be the new meta.

[-] lapis@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

respectfully admires in 1.95cm transfem

[-] lapis@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] HexBroke@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

I wonder if 160cm (and below) will be the new meta actually, as climate change intensifies

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

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 crush

[-] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

can I use the transmasc units for my self if I'm transfem

[-] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

hell yeah i'm like 7 feet now get fucked idiots

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.

[-] bobs_guns@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 month ago

But I don't want to be tall...

[-] bubbalu@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

The transfemme height don't work. There is no positive term.

[-] machiabelly@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

height is the positive term I think

[-] Hexagons@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Oh hell yeah! Now I'm 5'5"(tm)! I'm so tall!
