How is this dishonest. It is well documented that being short is a social disadvantage. And being tall is a social advantage.

Why dont you tell me does the benefits of being short in this world..outweights the benefits of being tall in this world?

I wasnt trying to do pros and cons on both sides. It was to say how shortness is seen as something negative. And your list just proves that. Personally I dont have a problem with being short but its a social stigma being short. So thats why im doing CLL because i hate having to deal with daily discrimination.

Im a short woman and heightism is the reason why I am risking my life to do CLL. My height has always been a barrier to my success. I have a hard time keeping jobs. I would often do extremely well over my taller counter parts but im always the first person to get fired or laid off. I have been fired over eight times and laid off three times. Whenver I deal with professionals whther it be a social worker, a doctor..an employer they dont treat me with the same respect. I usually have to advocate really hard to be respect and not be screwed over and usually I am screwed over. I have tried to keep housing etc. Even though i paid my bills on times etc. It still wasnt good enough for landlords. I have only one boyfriend. And after awhile i would get emotionally abuse and bullied by his friends. My short stature is the reason why people have continuously disrespected me,, disregard me. And i hate when short men say that short women have it eaiser. We do not. I think the only way short women have it eaiser is in online dating. But all other aspect I have it pretty hard.

Im also a minrotiy ANd im short. SO yes the oppression I suffer is twice. Because from my race I am seen as inferior. Women are also seen as inferior. And short people are seen as inferior. I would rather have short people unite to fight height prejudice. But it doesnt seem to be the case.

If heightism only negatively impacted my dating life then I wouldnt go with this procedure. Its because its a barrier and I face daily discrimination where I cant even get my basic needs met. I live with my parents and they are the ones supporting me as well as social assistance. And its not because i cant or dont want to work but success is determined first by how we look and then our personalities. A person needs both to succeed.

Short enough to know that heightism is real. ANd short enough to know the social benefits I will gain once i am my desired height. My deisred height is to be five feet six female.

I personally think people who do CLL to get more sex is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. My dating life is non existence and Im a short woman. this myth that short women have it easier in life or dating is sexist. Heightism affects everyone. And the more a person belongs to more minority groups the worse their shortness will impact them. I dont care about my non existence sex life. What I care about is my daily interactions with people. I want to succeed but i know that shortness is veiwed as inferiority. So I have to get rid of it to succeed.

Sex is not a need. its a want. Being treated with respect. Being able to keep a job. Getting your own home..are needs. Men have been conditioned to be more sexul adventurous and women have been conditioned to be more sexual restrained. Thus thats why women often times have more self control when it comes to sex. A man or a woman can survive without sex. But not being able to provide for yourself and relying on safety needs like parents or social assistance is worse.
