I'm not super tall — I'm 5'11. It's when I'm in heels I look like an Amazon!

In heels he doesn't look like 'an Amazon'. He looks like a tall man dressed as a woman.

They are just shy of 6'0 honestly. Most trans underestimate their height to be feminine I have seen so many that are 6'1.5 claiming 5'11 and I am 5'9.5 and getting towered by them it's ridiculous.

She is tall but I think she is smaller than me. I guess she is 1.78 m.

Doesn't matter though Christian, I'm sure she's a lovely person. She actually looks pretty good for transgender, though should avoid extreme hair dyes.

Agreed, Sam! She looks pretty tall next to other "inmates" in OITNB... She makes Taylor look a weak 5'8 in many photos, actually! She must this height!

Always stood out among everyone in the cast, while Taylor (5ft8) and Laura (5ft9.5) always looked tall but never stood out that much in any way. I think 5ft11 is accurate.

She looks very feminine, but her head size is "giving away the game" to me. She's lucky that Laura Prepon is a bigger-headed lady too, but heads significantly over 9 inches just dont seem to be a thing with cis-women. I think Laverne's looks a little over 9,25 inches?

Editor Rob yes head size is probably no less than 9.25

Thanks for adding her, she's doing a really good job on OITNB. Would there be more chance she's a little higher than this listing or lower? She looks only marginally taller than 5'10 Laura Prepon i see.

Editor Rob I don't think she'd be higher than her claim
