Any other women here getting LL surgery?

Edit Post

Quote from: Annalisa on August 22, 2017, 09:51:33 PMMy reasons for wanting surgery is basically that my height has being the main source of my anxiety disorders, that have prevented me to have a life.

I have been locked at home for years.

I've started to see a psychiatrist for a couple of months now, and taking anxiety drugs everyday, cause I had arrived to a point where the only thing I could thing to do in my future, was cutting my throat and ending my meaningless life.

I didn't live my teens. I dropped out of school at almost 16 and locked myself since then.

Now, thanks to the pills, I'm going back to school for my diploma.

Although I feel much better now (thanks to the therapy),  I know I won't never be fully confident in my skin and will face many discriminations in college and in the future career as a doctor I want to pursue, if I don't lengthen.

This is my witness for those who think very short women have an easy life. They don't.

what is your height ?

here's what it's like, at least to me... being a woman at 5'

lets start at work, I can't reach anything, but people think it's A-okay for me to need to get the ladder to do everything, or get on my toes, I don't like having to get up on my toes to do everything, I mean everything, and right now I work at a coffee shop so "everything" includes, reaching for cups, reaching for syrups, reaching for buttons on the machines, getting stuff from shelves to restock, seeing the screens, and not constantly being asked if I'm "even old enough to work here".

That's just work, now imagine what people constantly say... "oh you're so cute" "oh you're so adorable" "oh you child", I'm a 21 year old grown woman, don't treat me like a child.. but that is what everyone does, I'm a child in their eyes. weak, dumb, child. They get confused when I lift heavy things, (I bodybuild)

Oh, it makes sense now. You face a really difficult choice.

She wants to be a man but doesn't want to be a 5' man. At her current height I guess she'd rather be a female but I have no idea what is to be on her shoes.

From Silvershade's perspective, "he" is in the wrong body, too short as a man, mistaken for a child and as a little girl on top of it.
And there is no way get rid of all the issues.
This is hard.

If she is 5ft then she could do like 5 inches. Depending on were u live 5'5" is not terrible and can be an Ok height. Or she could just stay as a female.
