Discrimination Against Average-height Limb Lengtheners

Edit Post

Quote from: YourSpaceBoyfriend on July 01, 2017, 11:48:54 AMIt's not about wanting to be taller, it's about how much you need to pay to be taller.

And now the sacrificies that you need to make to be taller are absolutly not worth it if you are avg height.

This. Great post.

There's no comparison to something like a nose or boob job. The price is WAY, WAY higher.

It's closer to something like a sxx change in severity. Which is why unless you are severely disturbed by your height and have exhausted all options it's not something any sane person of normal height should consider.

Dude
i cant reach the top shelf in my kitchen
My legs dont reach down when i ride my motorcycle
I can't do doggy with my girlfriend while being on my knees
I am being called shortie- midget by people in my environment giggling
People think they can bully me because of my size
I never find clothes my size to buy

Of course i will say average height people are stupid to go through the procedure to be more atractive.
i tottaly get them.they live in the same stereotyped society which favors tall people.
their chances are better than mine though.
Everyone is free to do what they like.
i would just pick a less painfull way to be attactive if i was average height.

LL is the most hard and risky aesthetic surgery and leaves permanent deficits, from small to huge.
That's why it is insane to do it if you are already tall and if you are average, you should lengthen wisely to reduce the permanent effects.

Sibirsky, walking normal is the minimum. I walked normal even when my tendons were overlengthened from my moron ex doctor, I walk normal even now 2 months after my new tendon's shortening and my right tibia straightening surgery.
You did a huge mistake to lengthen so much in tibias without reason. That's why I bash you, not for doing LL at 1 .76 but because you risked so much and had a mediocre result without any real reason.

And I don't care if more than average height people are afraid to write here their real heights. The biggest problem of a 6ft guy who wants LL is not my opinion or any other's here but the mental unstability he has and thinks that an already more than average height is a so big problem that is willing to risk so much and sacrifice some of his athletic capabilities, money and time for something like LL.
LL is not a boobjob, is the most extreme cosmetic surgery and is suitable only for people that have real height problems, for noone else.
So, if some people like Sibirsky who started this topic want to pass the message that LL is like any other cosmetic surgery, I won't let them do it, at least without telling my own opinion which is completely the opposite.

Yeah this surgery is no way as morbid as a sxx change

By overerepresented I mean too many people who are short to below average are the ones posting the most. They are the tip of the iceberg. There's an big group of average height people here silently gathering information without posting because the shorter people might start bashing them. This is reverse-heightism at its finest

BodyBuilder, now I see your point of view which is that you don't want people to take this surgery lightly with ids effects and all that. I truly respect that. But really in the hands of a competent surgeon if there are no major complications, I think people of any height will be able to SEE and appreciate the change in height. But how much of a difference people perceive us is highly subjective and doesn't solely depend on your initial height. But to say happiness isn't a real reason to be taller isn't justified

Edit Post

The attack is not on you. And I agree that a few shorties here are indeed bitter.

 I also do not doubt that anyone who does this and doesn't get handicapped will be happy with the result no matter starting height.

Only difference is that when a 5'10 guy does it, the change will be 100% (or atleast close to that) within his mind and not like someone 5'5 doing it in which term the change will without doubt be external as well.

Anyhow, the forum now is much better with only one user screaming "heightism" or other reddit short bull .

Discrimination, heightism...these words have actual meanings and actual definitions. Discrimination is a serious thing, it means you can be denied a job even if you're equally qualified to a taller candidate, or you will be ridiculed and not respected as an adult human being. Discrimination can also encompass getting kicked out of your house of being expelled of your hometown. How are taller individuals treated on this forum? They can write diaries, they can look up information on leg lengthening, and they can seek support. A lot of posters will be critical of their decision for such a grave surgery without a justified reason and openly question these taller posters. Some will mock them. A taller poster comes into this forum and behaves like an utter piece of crap, like he never got some manners beaten into him when he was younger. He tells critical posters that they are just jealous and calls them manlets and faggots. (You all know who I mean) This poster will be heavily criticized. This is not discrimination.

Some posters here described their experience after LL and how it changed their lives to the better. Medium Drink of Water went from 5'7'' to 5'10'' and said that the surgery was the best decision of his life. He was obviously very happy with the change. If this man could be happy with being "just average", why can't average height posters who want LL be happy with their current height? Are they so different from him, do they belong to a different species? Or are they just insecure and want to create an outer shell of protection that shields them against someone attacking their insecure inner selfs? Do they feel they are somewhat special, better than other human beings around them? Because they must obviously see that millions of guys are average height and do just perfectly fine.

I think its ridiculous that we become the expert on other peoples' lives on these forums. All of a sudden we know exactly what the right decision is for each others' lives.

If you care what people think about you because of your LL decision you shouldn't be getting it in the first place. It should be about your own personal goals and how you gauge risk vs reward. Everyone's story should be different. Like all things in life, pushing your ideals on others never do anything except make you look like a d!ck.

Have you ever heard about something called common sense? or maybe logic? How about being realistic ? There are also stuff like mental disorders etc but I doubt you ever heard about them.
