[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anecdote: a few years ago I posted on DCUM or a FB group when I was considering putting my son on growth hormone injections. He did not test as growth hormone deficient but for various reasons was projected to be max 5'4'' and the growth hormone was likely to give him a few extra inches at a minimum. A lot of women w/ no experience or skin in the game excoriated me for considering giving this to my otherwise healthy son while the moms w/ short sons tended to think the pros outweighed the cons.  One of my takeaways from the feedback was that subconsciously, it was really uncomfortable for some women to confront their preference for tall men, and that admitting that a boy could be judged harshly for an immutable characteristic was a threat to their self-perception.

Back to GLP1s. I think there's a subconscious component in that it's uncomfortable for people to come face to face with their perceptions of people with obesity once those people become thinner. I know that I've been caught off guard a few times. In reality it's no ones fault--preferences for height, bmi, etc are mostly hardwired.

In any event, hormones and peptides are going to continue to become more mainstream and the price will drop, and my guess is that a lot of this pettiness will look silly in a few years time.

Agree with this. And it's a shame that an absolute troll has railroaded this thread to the extent they have. I really appreciate those who've been willing to share their stories and perspectives despite the troll. [/quote]
