Honestly the comparisons you made are the point. They're just people who are short, not a magical mythical race of non humans lmfao. THATS where the whole "little person" thing comes from.
Sure, but there are loads of medical conditions with less than ideal names (a particularly severe structure is caused by a gene literally named Sonic the hedgehog). The clinical name might be important in a clinical setting but that's not where most of us interreact with people. I'm just going with what I've known people to prefer.
Yes but there are also folk that actually like the term. I guess default to little person unless told otherwise?
That's been a great rule that hasn't failed me for nearly anything.
Little people sounds demeaning to me
