Also: I have never had an issue where my height was a practical disadvantage. Socially, however, people bring it up as if I should be ashamed of it, and sometimes use it to counteract my opinions (as if what I just said was nonsense because I'm short, therefore discreditable). I used to rant a lot about that because I thought it mattered, and sometimes it DOES matter. But my canned response nowadays: get better material, morons.
