Height certainly exists, but it has no bearing on a person's worth, despite what this article or society at large would have you believe.

Of course, similar to biological sex
Is it possible to have a "height identity" different than your actual height?
Highly context-dependant. You don't see too many dwarf NBA stars, for example. "The fight does not always go to the strong, nor the race to the swift. But that is the way to bet."
I think we can ignore the outlier of basketball players playing at the highest level. We could also point to CEO's of Fortune 500 companies and their races but that shouldn't lead us to make judgements about which phenotype is better.
