Anyone also advocates for short people(particularly men) self-supportive groups?

Edit Post

As a consequence of car accident in my 6 year old, my growth was stunted, or maybe because I jerked off a lot around 12 year old, I am only 168cm in Poland, and bizarrely shorter than my father around like 10cm.

Don't get me wrong I am not saying being short should be treated as the intellectually disabled, or AIDS patients, but I trully firmly believe short men are already inferior in the society hierarchy, they are discriminated all the time, they are impeded by their heights when finding loves, even jobs, or just buying clothes they like to put on. Literally we are a part of 'special group' in the society which is also hardwired short men are bluhbluhbluh.

So I think short men also needs priorizations de jure and de facto, like legally disabled(again I am not implying being short is being disabled), at least we need to call for the society to cease offensive behaviours and words towards short men.

My primary language is not English and my English may be not good and my post is not legible enough either.

Sorry.

Yeah but don't just feel inferior. We short men gotta do something to improve our plight!
Like, lately I am already contemplating on setting up a humane self-supportive group/organization for us short men, at least I will open a server on d or if everything moved smoothly I would hire some web developers to operate an group/organization website, and I would be the web editor and it would be an international web. Guess my jobs of being a translator and a writer can make sense then LOL.

It could be not only supportive but also practical (advice on dating, ergonomics, reaction to harassment and discrimination, etc.)
Yeah there was indeed an organization in the past that was also supportive and finally disbanded.
 
I can't remember its name, but I opened a server on d and if you guys are interested in it I will be very glad to see you join it!

Quote from: MeanGoal on May 19, 2022, 11:56:05 AMThere's a short support group on Reddit: r/short

However, many (if not all) of these short support groups end up to be short lived (pun unintentionally intended), because this is what happens all too often.

1) It will get perhaps a few dozen members at its peak.

2) Members complain about height discrimination and how being short sucks, but never reach any real solutions.

3) Some short members become really irate about their height neurosis, go on a ranting rampage, and the group continues in a downward spiral.

4) Everyone realizes it's just a waste of time and leaves the group.
In light of my nearly one year experience on r/short, I don't think it is a self-suppotive group at all, for it is really congested with complaints, ventations, blackpills, incels, etc. And rare posts are offering constructive suggestions/advices, or just talking about what short men/women have successes in random fields like dating and everyone mentall jerks off to them.

It's really... boring and noxious.

I don't think venting itself is a waste of time, but venting must be a part of self-supports, not the main or even full component of them.

So I built a server which contains ventations but also limb lengthening surgery discussions, height increasing method discussions and off topic sections. So I think this server is very constructive.

TranslatingWithWriting:

I joined ''Short Lives Matter''. Do I have to join ''d''?
I filled by mistake my birthday date. Where is our private data located in the menus?
What is a ''role''? I don't know which I chose.

Thanks and sorry to everybody else.
I don't know how to configure welcome screening in which new members can select roles right after getting in and so far there are no 'roles'.
Besides, I don't configure locating member's private daa in the menus.

Quote from: zaozari on May 21, 2022, 02:11:23 PMI don’t remember because it was maybe 15 years ago (I'm old...) and never paid much attention because I didn't feel at that time the height neurosis of today and could live well without feeling I needed "support" or even be part of such a group of people, maybe it's strange but it was indeed like that, maybe I was much more self confident and besides I already dreamed about CLL.

By the way, I think I mistakenly quoted the other user instead of you.

Cheers.
I think you are referring to 'Short Guys Center'? I also checked that website for once but it seemed very unpopular, and even LL forum is more interesting comparatively... So I have long time to recheck that.

Btw, I am planning to evolve my Short Lives Matter into an offline legit group/organization, like other American groups/organizations operated for special people like mute and dumb, autism, stutterer, etc. I myself don't think it is a crazy idea but it may sound harsh and humiliating——I think short men should be prioritized as disabled.

Yeah I know it sounds depressing and dumb. But except the fact that we have normal physical functions, but when it comes to emotional functioning and societal perceptions, I don't think short men should never be treated specially.

My plan is to get Translation master degree in America so it will become more convenient for me to evolve my group lol.

I will also design some special clothing, hold special activities, petition to the govern to afford subsidies etc. for our group's members.

But although I registered in the group, I couldn't find any relevant ''room'', it is so confusing, excessively coloured and I had to register in two things, one is called ''d'' and the other ''Short People Matter''. I haven't still understood how that works. Regarding short people or LL I only found a girl with a bit unfriendly post of just a few words. I am sure I wasn't in the right place.
I don't know how come that lady screwed up your interests in my server but the channels are all relevant to height except non-height-related discussion. You can chat whatever you want in any of the channels.
