I'm accounting for the OP because it's not correct to say that 'height' is what matters, it's relative height, among gender.

  Correct in what sense? Both statements are borne out by the evidence. You are each choosing to select different representations of those facts as the most salient.

    One is more correct than they other, and it's borne out by the evidence here, and the evidence of your own daily observations. If you work in a large office, or a few of them for comparison, there's ample data in your own experience to see it if you care to observe specifically. The issue is not crudely height, it's height relative to gender and it's actually pretty straight forward. A 5 foot 6 woman is not going to be hugely punished for her height, whereas a 5 foot 6 man will definitely be.

      > A 5 foot 6 woman is not going to be hugely punished for her height, whereas a 5 foot 6 man will definitely be. Isn't that in itself gender discrimination? We know that on average Asian men are shorter than black men. If someone made the same compensation for the difference, what would you call it? We've just had a Supreme Court decision saying employers can't discriminate against trans employees. If the same 5'6" employee gets a promotion by presenting as female that they don't get by presenting as male, what does that imply there?
