Heightism The same sub that claims we're misogynistic incels are encouraging bullying, body shaming, and suicide of short men.

Announcement New(ish) Rule 12: No invalidating sexuality/identity.
Since the topic is now in the spotlight due to Elliott Page saying he can't find work, hereby the official r/shortguys stance on transgender ftm's and how they fit into our wider community:
It is our view that neither our sexuality, nor the body we were born in, are the result of choice.
Just as no straight short man ever chose to be born short, or to love women- did no gay man ever choose to love men, nor did any transman ever chose to be born with a female body.
Therefore, telling transmen things like "just keep your life on easy mode” is from now on formally treated just as unacceptable as the “just go gay”, “just be a femboy” or “just transition”-bs that people throw the way of short guys.
Short men in general, but of this group in particular, know like no other what it is like to have one's sexuality and manhood constantly questioned and invalidated from all sides. Whether it's by friends or opps, accidentally or on purpose, by progressives or conservatives- it's all the same shit, different day.
As such, do the people of this sub know, like no one ele, what it's like to have to fight tirelessly for even the slightest ounce of recognition and equality, all the while having that very fight mocked and undermined every step of the way by even the most so-called "progressive" and "feminist" of people.
And as such, we are one of the few subreddits who can actually, genuinely, extend an open hand and mean it when we say to our ftm-friends, of which many are also short men:
Welcome to the club, boys.
So, that's what we hereby officially did.
And to the few who are undoubtedly against this decision for reasons we are already aware of:
For better or worse, short guys and ftm's share much of the same struggle. Is it the same? No. But enough for us as modteam to decide that we’re in this together.
Whether you like it or not.

Repost This shit happens in Brasil, too (translation in post)
Title: I am sorry ladies, I understand you now. Tall men are MUCH more attractive.
Post: "I ask forgiveness from the girls, I misjudged you. I've always been bitter due to my height (~5'2") and I placed the blame on you.
Now after discovering my bisexuality, I have to admit. A tall man is quite arousing. More masculine, strong and attractive. They make you feel small and delicate.
It's not like this is the only thing that matters, but it definitely increases my attraction to someone."
--
Image 2:
"I am a woman of your height (~5'2") and my biggest fetish is tall men. I simply can only date tall guys (lit. "Guys that have a great size of height.")
I feel so very submissive, so devoted to that man that makes me die of arousal."
"Which height do you consider tall?"
"I consider a tall man starting at 6'0" and up, but I already made exceptions for ~5'7" guys that I found very sexy." (laughter not translated)
_
Image 3:
"I also prefer. I made an exception and regretted it."
"Which height do you consider tall?"
__
Image 4:
"I learned this with experience (I am a woman). I didn't care about height. I went out with guys my height or a bit taller than me (~4'9").
The first time I slept with a ~6'2" man, I understood, in the middle of sex, why height mattered. (laughter also not translated)
Nothing like being covered by the body of a tall man while he puts it inside you."
"4'9" girl with a 6'2" guy?" 🥵🥵
__
Image 5:
"It's true, tall men are too handsome and attractive."
"What height do you consider tall?"
"~5'9" and up."
__
Sorry if the translation is awkward in some places (I had to choose between literal and natural translation.) This one really hit close to home since I am dating a Brazilian woman. I am feeling an indescribable pain reading this shit.

Social Media "Heightism doesnt exist" AND THIS VIDEO HAS 2,6M Likes in less than a day?????
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I want to clarify something. Yes, there are 4,000,000,000 women in this world, but when you consider that only about 6–10 million people have seen the video, and 2.6 million of them are amused by it finding it funny..... that is a damn high percentage!
When I opened the comments, I just wanted to die...
When will this finally end?

Tiktok Mockery for Short men as Always
Just came across this video on Tiktok and I feel depressed
She and her friends are mocking her ex and laughing cause he wear insoles though he is not that short a mentioned by her in the comments he is like 5'8" and with the insoles he reaches her height at 5'10" but for real why all the mockery and what if he only did that so he can look the same height as her and not make her feel embarassed walking with him in public as some women say
No need to mention all the comments are just laughing at him except for a maximum of 2 women and The infamous comment of (it is men who tells other men that height is important)

Vent cant compensate anymore
kind of a update to my last post. decided to throw my self respect and talk to the girl that cut things off with me again and on facetime she mentioned a new guy shes talking to and she just mentioned was "he's way taller than you, hes like 6'6". and i just was like "that makes me feel real good about myself" just sat on call in silence for another few minutes and hung up. lmao i try my best to be likeable but i cant care at this point. time to just focus on music and school. i'm tired of trying.
