Context: I’m 5’ 8". 5 feet plus 8 inches = 6 feet minus 4 inches.

Edited to add: Yeah in my head this sounded funny but based on the comments it seems to be just a stupid idea. Oh well!

    You would be lying, and I think honesty is more important.

    5’8" is above average for a woman where I live. 6’4" is gargantuan. Like unusually tall.

    I see your gender identity tag as including they… if you were AMAB, you might be considered short for your birth-assigned gender, but if you truly are AMAB and trying to present as female, being 5’8" would be helpful; being 6’4" would be a hindrance in addition to being a falsehood. (Apologies if I’ve misread the situation.)
