I think I can be a girl, but I don’t know if I can be a woman.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while. I think I can pass as a girl with some HRT and growing my hair out because I’m short. But because I’m short (5’4” / 164 cm), I don’t know if I’ll ever be seen as a woman, as in, an adult female. Maybe it’s also because I’m not mature enough yet (as a 17 year old) and I haven’t seen enough of… life.

I know I’m the average female height in the US, but I see other women around me appear to be taller than me and are definitely more confident than me.

I feel really confused about it all… Am I overthinking this? Do any of you think about this? How do I become more confident?
