Comment on Would I sound taller if I gave my height as 6'-4"?

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.)

Perhaps you missed the minus sign? 5ft + 8 inches is the same as 6ft - 4 inches :)
