"Height growth disorder" literally exists. Here's a Yale Medicine page talking about the treatment options for short stature: https://www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/short-stature-child https://www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/short-stature-child Tonal Mismeasurement Disorder doesn't exist, but several conditions where that's a symptom such as autism do exist. Medicine also has concepts like high/blow blood pressure, being underweight/normal weight/overweight/obese, we talk about an "obesity epidemic". I won't get into if it's correct for us to do this, but it's certainly possible for us to describe things that are on a spectrum as being some sort of disease or condition, and most of these are to some extent socially grounded E.G. if you're on a desert island being overweight doesn't seem so bad anymore. I don't see any reason we couldn't prescribe steroids for low testerone levels, since we already do, there's TRT. It's not necessary to identify a binary mechanism for disease to call something a disease. We just call somebody being really shit at paying attention having "ADHD" and give them some amphetamines and it seems to have societal benefit compared to not giving anybody amphetamines so we keep with it. I'm a little sceptical we have things quite right but this approach seems okay.
