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

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.

...

I remember that old website (''short people'' something...) had lots of contents ...

...

The other site lasted for many, many years, but was a bit old fashioned, people got old and probably abandoned the maintenance.
But it hasn't to be like that, and the positive thinking and optimism tends to ''replicate'' itself, it could be a good challenge and definitelly very useful.

That proves my point that these short support websites and groups inevitably end up being short lived. You said it yourself that old website is dead. In fact, you can't even remember the name (despite being up for many, many years), which shows that it was not effective or popular enough that you can even remember its name or URL. In fact, you can't even name any decent short support website or group that started before 2022 and is still operational now.

If you can manage to succeed in creating an effective short support group that will last for decades, go right ahead. I'm certainly not going to try to sabotage it. But I've seen these short support groups pop up in the past, and they all inevitably die away for the reasons I stated.

I 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.

I like your ideas.
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.
