Episode 014 - Can we change society's view of our Dwarfism?

Kim

Apr 25, 2021

We ask the question in this episode - can we change society’s view of our form of Dwarfism?

Kim is joined by four Russell Silver Syndrome people to discuss questions including:

Do you think it is important TARSS take part in trying to change the view many in society have of people with dwarfism/short stature?
What term do we find completely unacceptable in regards to terms people think of or say to people with short stature?
How do we identify ourselves?
Is this podcast series a positive proactive way to inform and educate people about RSS in particular?
