I'm a tall woman so obviously don't have the same perspective, but you can probably imagine what it's like to go through a world that isn't built for you. Your bathroom counter is too high. You can't reach the gas pedal in your car. Clothes aren't commonly in your size. Grocery store shelves are well above your head.
