- 1Height and hair data undermine 'telling by looking' at trans people●Can you tell if someone is trans by looking? No. A quarter of US women are 166 cm or taller; one in ten US men is shorte
Public health statistics are being used to challenge claims that trans people can be identified by appearance. A quarter of US women are 166 cm or taller and one in ten US men is shorter than that, according to CDC figures, while the Endocrine Society estimates 5–10% of women have coarse male-pattern hair. Commenters cite the case of a Utah girl whose school records were checked after rival parents' complaints, arguing such scrutiny harms cisgender women too.
