I think it may have creeped up to 5'10" depending on what source you use, but 5'9" is a negligible difference. Also, part of it is how you carry yourself. I was roommates with a dude who was 6'4" who wasn't very confident and slouched and let his shoulder collapsed in, and he always seemed much smaller than he was.

Being 5'9 isn't, by itself, crippling. Wrong attitude, wrought by other flaws worse, is what makes 5'9 seem crippling.
