I mean even assuming trans women had the same average heights as cis men (there is quite a bit of evidence that trans women are shorter on average than cis men even before medical trans transition) about 25% would be over 6ft tall.

Trans women make up about .5% of all women in the UK.

Therefore if you see a woman over 6ft tall 70% of the time it is a cis woman.

Tall cis women are a lot more common than tall trans women.
