> We DON’T say adult males under 5’2” are diagnosed as having medical disease.

If males under 5’2” were having clear difficulty functioning and outcomes were measurably worse for most of them and large numbers of them were seeking treatment and we actually had safe and effective treatments which measurably decreased or eliminated the problems caused by the fact that they are under 5’2” for most of them, then I'd expect that we would consider it a medical disease/disorder. Why shouldn't we?
