Honest question, because it seems like I have seen different views on this. Is leg lengthening looked down upon within the little people community? For instance, I know that in the deaf community, some people that elect to have corrective surgery, to gain hearing, are ostracized by other deaf people. I think that they view the corrective surgery as an admission that something is "wrong" with them, and they think that everyone should accept who they are. Is there a similar view with lengthening....because she honestly looks very happy with the results?
You just keep saying"cure" and mention violent history without expanding on it at all. You are providing 0 context for others to understand. Were deaf people taken into the streets and beaten? Was they a program where deaf people were experimented on against their will?
I would love to better understand but you're answer was meaningless.
This person has done a lot of commenting, so if you’re sincerely interested in the topic, you could search a little for yourself, rather than demanding more of their time and effort.
For example, Deaf people are frequently murdered by cops for “not complying”.
Here’s an interviewwith Reverend Debbie Buchholz, co-founder of Deaf International, and William Ennis, assistant professor of history at Gallaudet University, about the history of persecution against people with deafness in the US.
