Oh, I thought this will be about finding job and online dating, where everything is done now online (and with dating at least initially), so your disadvantage of being short, which is not appealing to employers paying tall people higher salaries and women being more attracted to taller men and wanted to mention everything is open again, so the best time was probably 2020-21, but then I found that article is actually about what? Not sure exactly, can someone please tell me why is now the best time to be short, because I couldn't find it in article.
> Now I have twins who are among the smallest in their kindergarten class, but instead of preparing to medicate them because of an antiquated societal bias, I’m going to let them be as they are: tiny. Because short is better, and it is the future.
Yeah, good luck to your kids, they will be fucked for life disadvantaged because of your philosophical selfishness instead providing them better starting point of having (relatively) normal life. I have same neighbor, they went to wrong doctor unwilling to prescribe hormonal therapy and instead finding normal doctor it seems they accepted their kid will be short. I tried to reason with them for the sake of the kid, but it seems they don't care about wellbeing of their kid in dating pool/work market decades ahead. It reminds me of people who have curable disease or disability and they decide not to solve it, imagine being blinds refusing getting eyesight or being deaf refusing implants.
But maybe I am wrong and this idiocracy will continue further with healthiest strongest people being looked down and obese people and other crazy ones promoted as new normal we should look up to.
At almost 200cm I am what most of the people would call tall and I want my kids to be preferably average or higher average, because while being short is pretty bad, being tall and hitting your head and having trouble to find clothes/shoes ain't exactly great either, so I'd be fine with my son not outgrowing me and being only 185-190cm.
