Oh but the average shaped people are upset that they have different colored skin.
This is a joke, right?
- petite person who also can't find clothes that fit, but doesn't get the social/job market benefits that come with being tall (for ex: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2214804314000640)
You have a petite department. Have you ever seen a store with a Tall Department in women's clothing?
PP here. My DD with a tall inseam (takes after the other parent) seems to be able to find pants just fine.
Are you really going to argue that occasional difficulty finding clothes obliterates your advantages in the job market?

It would be great if more schools had a practice squad, or an intramural team.
Intramural leagues seems like the answer to the access question.
How is that really different than local rec leagues? At least in our county the county itself offers to pay for kids who can't financially pay for a rec league, so there's not a cost issue.
Trying to have high school sports, high school intramural sports, travel clubs, and rec leagues all use fields and gyms sounds like a nightmare in our area where field and gym allocation is already a problem.
Rec leagues are not right after school and need transportation. Perhaps before school intramurals?
