I agree that people should have the right to choose. If I wanted to have breasts coming out of my back, or turn myself into a woman, I should have the right to do so.
But, just like the sex change surgery (actually, I think the sex change surgery is the only thing that tops LL), LL is very extreme. This is a major surgery with lots of risks and a long road to recovery. This surgery was initially meant only for people with dwarfism, when you think about it. Men below 5'7" are the ones who are in for a rough life, and even successful ones (and there ARE plenty of them, and I don't mean just in Hollywood) will have to deal with heightist comments and rejection from women throughout their lives. If you're at least average height (which you are, EASILY), you actually don't know how good you have it. You may not be the tallest person around, your father may be taller than you, etc....but you aren't dealing with discrimination on a day to day basis (if you ever even do), and assuming you are well-rounded and have things going for you, women will be no problem either.
But hey, there are people on here who want to go from 6ft to 6'4". I just wonder where it all ends. I mean, if people really value being the tallest person around (wherever they go, in whatever country or planet they visit), then I guess bottoms up and go for it. But those people who want to hit 7ft or something are not going to reap benefits with women or in their social lives. This is why all doctors make us (even people who were super short, like me) all go through psychological evaluations. If anything, people may think even less of you, like "This guy wasn't even short, he didn't need this surgery." Me, at 166, there's no question I needed this surgery. But you guys who are something like 175ish and up...your lives can't be that bad, at least not based on your height.
I know several well-respected LL doctors who flat out told me, while they don't have a height cutoff, they cringe when men certain heights and up want this surgery. But I won't say their names.
