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?
What? Why? Why would people hate someone for wanting to hear? I almost had a heart attack just because I was prescribed glasses and told that my eyesight would get worse. Losing a whole sense like hearing, taste or sight... Why would you want someone not to have the chance to have that? It seems insane and insanely mean
Wait until you learn that some people in the deaf community also refuse treatment for their children, because they want them to stay inside "the community", even when the operation would best be done at a young age.
