I agree and here in Denmark their used to be a height requirement of 172 cm / 5'8 which I as a short guy believe is fair. In my country you can't just use the gun as you like. So how would you as a like 5'5 guy like myself put a 6'3 giant in handcuffs? Yep not possible.
Thanks for the opinions guys. But is there anyone here who’s been able to run a sub 14 minute mile after 5-6 cm LL after 2 years of recovery? I’m 179. Please spare the judgement. I work in a tall guy field and I just want to improve myself.
I can't spare that lol. You're an Audi a4 trying to be an audi a6 in regards of height. Your height is already great and other people ain't going to look at you differently. And if your coworkers don't show respect for you, then it's properly a lack of confidence rather than it's because your're not a very big giant... And why would you care about their acceptance and recognition to begin with? Are you not good enough without it? If women who are like 5'5 can be a cop with confidence (actually does exist here in Denmark lol), you should be able to at ease.
But hey it's your life, but your're an elephant wanting to become a Giraffe, while all of us on this forum are lions size wise haha. 
Yeah you’ll be fine after 2 years even with 8cm
Dysphoria hits differently for everyone. But I respect those who want to make a change and improve their mental well being. That’s all I’m trying to do. Seriously considering doing this next year in South Africa with Dr B. 5-6 cm femurs.
You might run into administrative problems.
As in, your employer considers such a procedure grounds of termination, due to risk of future physical injury which their insurance has a clause that won’t cover. But I’m not sure at all about this, it was just my first thought.
You could keep it to yourself and try to train up again, but you’d have to live with the risk of 1. not being able to get back to necessary physical form, 2. if you do make the physical you’d have to live with the anxiety of it being discovered if it grounds of termination.
If you’re already 179 I’d say you should really think if it is worth it, because you would be trading peace of mind from the increased height with the stress and anxiety of those two points. So it should be considered carefully if the end goal is better mental health long term.
