I don't see a way to do it on 1st level using standard character creation rules. But if the GM is working with you, he may allow to aply the giant template to your character. There are many templated monsters in the published books, why not make a templated humanoid?

The rules pretty much forbid what you're trying to do. Because Power Gamers. But you're not trying to powergame, so &*^%$&^%$ the rules. Most reasonable GMs will be fine with such a request. Just tell your GM what you want to do and ask for GM help.
One warning: all sorts of combat shenanigans become possible when large. This is why the rules make it hard to start Large. This is also why so many melee PCs find a way to become large. My favorite method is the cleric's Plant(Growth) domain. You're not seeking shenanigans, so you should be fine.
Shifter - Rageshifter: a mix of the shifter and the barbarian, grows in size for rage, but can go berserk.
You can also pick a human and slap it with 7 race points for it to gain the Large size.
I will say though that there could be a reason why we haven't seen a[nother] Large 0HD race [aside from the Trox], such as a half-giant, because being Large is extremely limited. You cannot fit or will have a hard time fitting in most places, including inns and dungeons.
I'll say this before it gets brought up: in Starfinder, you'll likely be in open spaces rather than restricted ones, so that's why there could be more Large-sized alien races available.
JiCi, the idea was a peaceful giant. A rage build is kind of at odds with this. Of course, some playstyles are somewhat at odds with peaceful anything, so I will go away now.
There's Goliath Druid, he can wildshape into a giant, and eventually he can stay in that form all the time. It's not exactly 'born giant', but you can flavor it as innate ability that he embraced wholeheartedly.
Perhaps a half giant might work. There are more options If you are allowed 3rd party options. I am fond of the Dreigi, especially some of the less powerful write ups.
I don't think there is any rule that you can't play a 6 ft 6 inch human and just not gain any benefits

I would give a level penalty to this PC. That means a 1st level PC would be considered 2nd level for purposes of xp and leveling up. If you do this, you should take Toughness and whatever else you can find that increases hit points.
Try saying that to a 6 foot 6 person.I don't think there is any rule that you can't play a 6 ft 6 inch human and just not gain any benefits6foot 6 is hardly a giant size.
Like Michael Clarke Duncan!
I mean, it's not necessary to be a "person who is of Large size" in the game mechanical sense for the concept to work. Orcs get as tall as 7'1" and Nagaji as tall as 7'5" per that chart in the ARG. So you could just roll up a Nagaji Scaled Fist Softstrike monk who is the size of Yao Ming (but thicker.)
You guys know the character has been made, played and unexpectedly died already right?
"It's wonderful to have the strength of a giant, but terrible to use it like a giant."
Ah, the wonders of education. <g>

Easily.
But then I'm 6'5"/cevah

depends on the person I suppose. I dated a girl that was 6'1 and she told me she didn`t like being so tall because it made her feel like a giantess.
