The most radical way is, as we all know, to do surgeries or genetic editing/reopening growth plates in the future.
The most gentle way is to wait for the whole society to be more informed that height discirminations are killing short people and people must learn how to treat them fairly, and it has been proven just a daydream.
But surgery is not flawless, not only when it comes to its risks, but also if when surgery/genetic editing/reopening plates becomes a commonplace in the future(near or far), tall people can also get entitled to increase their heights if they are still not satisfied with what they have got, thus we short people are still shorter than them. So what's the point?

About the genetic editing or reopening growth plate, do you think some people are already researching into them? They won't become affordable for everyone once they are available?

By the time the genetic thing and the growplates thing will come to reality, we will be old and height will not be a factor for us anymore .
Even if , the same concept applies to us : we could get even taller at the point !
It will always come to a cost and it will take very long for this to be painless or very very very safe without side or long term effects .
I don't see why this is even a concern for you in 2021 .

I think when it comes to reality, it may take two decades for that to happen. By the time most of us are probably in our 60s to 90s. Dating at older or senior age, height won't be a factor anymore? I know wisdom is important when it comes to old people dating. Height not important?

Hopefully not, one can only hope this technology comes out in the 30s-40s.

The Chinese are researching it. In contrast to our woke fkers in the West they don't have such concerns...  What is the best way to eradicate unfair treatments from height?

I don't think many people understand how long it takes for these treatments to come to fruition. I remember hearing about studies showing humans will be able to regrow teeth soon. That was over 15 years ago and still hasn't happened! You're right when you said we'll all be old by the time genetic editing etc comes into existence which is far more complex than growing teeth.

OP get the surgery and move on.

Just like foreskin restoration. They've been talking about Foregen, a stemcell based treatment for TWO DECADES now. In that time men could have restored their whole foreskin using devices, air and manual techniques!

Like you said, get the surgery and move on.

If the top scientists from everywhere collaborate with each other on working to find a way to reopen growth plate so people can still grow, it may soon become a reality thanks to our better understanding of anatomy.

There is a hearsay that at the end of last century, America has invented genetic editing but in the end they discovered that some parents were not hoping their children to become handsomer, taller, more clever, and etc. but wanting to give lessons to them that short, deaf, stupid, ugly people are suffering from discriminations and they were thinking that their children must learn this lesson. So at last America prohibited this kind of genetic surgeries, didn't it?
