Having three of those four, (mid 40s, no longer have the abs) I didn’t realize that this is a common statement.
So common, that I remember a few articles my wife read that when women say there are no “suitable” men, this is what they mean.

I've never heard of this as a thing in Silicon Valley. Expensive, long and painful recovery - sounds like a very difficult way to go to end up with legs which are not in proportion to the rest of your body.

Most of these Silicon Valley software engineers are leftists
Not as many as you think. Many are actually libertarian or conservative. It's the attorneys, HR folks, and non-technical management types in Silicon Valley who are overwhelmingly leftist.

It’s already hard enough finding pants with the inseam greater than the waist.

She said, “They want men over six feet. That’s only 15%. They want them handsome. Cut that in half. They want them to be high earners. Cut that in half again.” It's not just women who are unrealistic. I have a friend who's about 5'10", fifty pounds overweight, bald and has eyes that point in different directions. He hasn't had a girlfriend in ages and constantly complains that he can't find anyone attractive enough.

This is horrible. The surgery is used for people who are born with a shorter leg. Not really born with it. But one leg simply does not grow the same as the other one. The surgery takes years and hurts a lot. Plus it leaves scars on your leg. And after the surgery you have a frail leg. Plus you have opened up the bone to all sorts of life long issues.
It may be worth it to correct a deformity. But to go from 5’ 7 to 5’ 10 is not correcting a deformity.

And the leg tissue that isn’t there, and that must grow into the empty space?
What next? “trans-leg” following in the footsteps of trans and furry?

I don't think I said anything about men or women in my statement of "learn to be happy with who you are".
It applies to everyone.
"Learn not to take everything personally" is also a life lesson that applies to all.

“You probably then have medical issues with your leg bones for life. Wouldn’t it be easier to wear lifts in your shoes?”
Exactly. One has to wonder what the long term effects of this are.

The irony is that these “celebrate diversity” types all want to look the same. They may be different colors and dress bizarrely but they all have to be tall and thin.

There’s a procedure called “phalloplasty” ... it means what you think it means.
