Height is not a body type

Apparently many of you out there have the idea that "petite" and "tall" are body types/shapes.
Well, guess what.
They aren't.
They are heights.

I've seen way too many folks use tall to mean long and skinny, and petite to mean short legged with no boobs. As if there are no tall women who are just plain big overall, or short women who look like scaled-down Victoria's Secret models.

Any size or shape can come in any height.


Stop calling petite and tall *types*.
Especially petites. You're always doing it to petites, you know.


We are all individuals.

[Edited to add: If you do happen to fit the stereotype of your height as a "body type" that's great. Don't want to imply otherwise. OK, now, carry on.]
