honestly not sure but hypothesizing that you could see a bulge in anti-trans sentiment among men who are 1) taller than most women but 2) not taller than most trans women
i'm a gentleman's 5'11" which means I'm pretty close to median male height but taller than >99% of cis women. my hypothesis here, i guess, is that if you are accustomed to being taller than women it is more disconcerting to encounter women who are taller than you
so maybe you have ~3 buckets of men:
1) short kings who are used to a significant number of women being taller
2) midheight who are taller than most women but shorter than a good chunk of trans women
3) tall men who are still taller than most trans women
I don't understand why people worry about height. I did when I was like 11 because I was short and then just stopped giving a fuck because it absolutely never impacted anything that has ever happened in my life.
I think there are things where it can make a difference - short guys are not equally represented in leadership positions, for instance, and if surveys are accurate and opinions remain unchanged a majority of women wouldn't consider dating a guy shorter than them.
I guess but like I said it's never affected me because 1) I have never sought a leadership position and 2) despite being a hard-core nerd back when you could still be bullied for playing D&D I never had a problem with dating or casual hookups
I think because of general height discrepancies across genders you'd have to be pretty short as a guy before it significantly cut off relationship opportunities assuming accurate preference statement (at 5'7" on a good back day and I'm still taller than most women).
