Why do people hate tall women?

Question

This is my second workplace and yet again I have been mocked for being a tall woman. I'm biologically female height 5'10 but keep having people thinking I'm transgender which is obvious when I walk into the restroom and women gasp in horror or men whisper near me to each other there's no way she's a chick she's too tall must be a dude. I've sought counseling going to HR doesn't help no one wants to believe I'm a woman. When I got Corporate over HR to take action over this now I get mocked for being tall on Valentines a female manager size 5'4 told a coworker also female next to me I bet she didn't get a Valentine she's too tall and they laughed. I've been told in public not a work that my height is intimidating I carry baby photos when near men at night so they don't attack me I've had biker looking guys call me tranny and harass me and I had to show them proof that I'm biological just tall. I thought maybe I'm ugly and posted my photos online no photo editing and people that were men and women said I did not look like a man so I'm not ugly or Unfeminine just too tall. Dating is impossible and I can't make friends the last time I had friends was high-school and when I grew too tall they ended friendship for me. I'm so lonely and wish I could get a surgery to shrink my height so I could be treated human and have someone to talk to. My only human positive connection is social media where no one knows my height I get comments about how beautiful I am and I feel dad knowing if they met me and saw my height they would hate me. I tried VR but occulus makes your avatar your height and people mock me in VR unless I am sitting down. I'm 25 and when I was a kid I never imagined this would be my existence. I used to be short and have so many friends. I'm not mean or anything just unlikable for my height. I don't know what to do and have no idea why I'm posting about my height discrimination but at least it's off my chest.

Shit! Come on over, hun! I'll take ya! I'm 6' 9'! My ex-fiance was only 5' 3"! You & I could raise our own basketball team!!
Darlin', you can talk to me any time you like! I'll listen and usually give good advice! I'm also fun to talk to and be with. If we lived close by, you'd be quite welcome to come over just about any time you like! There's a house 3 doors away that just went up for sale last month! But it and we can be neighbors and hopefully, best friends! LOVE to have you over just to sit and talk, play cards, talk records or t. v./movies with or go to the store together or even just take walks. It's VERY lonely up here!!.
I've been alone most of my life! COMPLETELY alone the past 4 years! Almost completely alone the previous 3 or 4 years! About 8 years ago, I bought copies of The Beatles editions of Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit. So far, I've never even bothered to play Monopoly by myself and TRIED to play Trivial Pursuit by myself a couple times. And, JUST because I have a huge record collection and music is my life and I love The Beatles, DOESN'T mean that game is easy for me! A LOT of those questions are quite difficult!!
Just so you know, I was 3 weeks shy of 25 when I got MY first girlfriend!! So far, I've only had 3 and, except for the last one, they all only lasted a few months! So, don't give up hope! Even though it's HIGHLY unlikely that I'll ever get another one, I still haven't given up.
Take care, hun!! Hope to chat with ya, soon, Shorty!

Tallness is a masculine trait so people find it odd that you are so tall despite being a woman.

This is so interesting to me because for so long I wanted to be tall. 5’11 like Taylor Swift lol and models are always tall too. Eventually I kinda settled with being shorter but often forget people would love to be my height. Women want to be your height as well, I just think you’ve internalized so much of the negative feedback that there’s no room for positive. This also sounds like I confidence thing that’s worth working on. If you keep telling yourself that you’re some ugly bigfoot you will never be happy. 5’10 is a great height! Own it.

We don’t hate tall women, but when they’re real tall and then, when they wear 6 inch pumps, trying make themselves look like NBA basketball height that tall trying to upstage us then it’s too much. I don’t wear 6 inch heels on my shoes and I’m already tall. I have seen this before in public tall women wearing real tall high heels way taller than the guy

5'10 isn't tall. 6ft is tall. I think either people are being deliberately mean to you (most likely, people can be) or you genuinely give off a manly vibe to them. Course doesn't help your case there's a heap of men insisting they should be recognised as women in the world. Meaning people become wary.

That's a form of sexual harrassment. Have you informed your employer? Where are you working? 5-10 is not all that tall.

I think that you should sue your employer for harassment. As for dating, I would date a woman that is 5'10" or taller.
